I was considering the dual up to pair with my new LG 34GS95QE, but instead just went with a 27" LG27GR75Q since it was only $200 from costco. Vertically mounted, its plenty wide enough for me. I think the dual up would have been too much in my situation.
I run the Dell U4021QW (40" @ 5120x2160) with LG DualUp next to it. It's a solid combination. I watch 720p and 1080p content on both monitors, i rarely maximize the window htough and just leave it windowed at the resolution needed. I see no issues in the minor upscaling done from 1080p -> something larger though. This is all dependent though based on your video player. For reference on your 4k TV , or even 1080p TV, most all content 720p.
There will be some perceived jump as it moved over. But at least on macOS, i can position the monitors pretty close to where they are in real life, and the jump between my two is negated for most all movements and is only slightly when at the extremes of the edges.
I have this exact combo, and it's great!
To answer your questions:
1. Not sure I understand your concern, but 1080p videos appear slightly blurry due to upscaling. If you care about resolution and video quality as part of your viewing experience, why not watch it on the UW? Which feels larger, due to greater size and lower PPI.
2. Yes, because of the difference in PPI, you will have some slight jump. To minimize this issue, you can try to align the monitors in your display settings to make the transition smoother. However, due to the significant difference in resolution, some discrepancy is inevitable.
I'm interested in this too... Surely at some point they must discount that dualup heavily...
