I have read several articles but I have not yet come to any conclusions.
I am looking for a monitor to programing and I have read that the best is LG Ultrawide and the Dell Ultrasharp.
Do you have any suggestions for models? Or other brands?

I've got one of the LG ultrawides and like it a lot. It makes having multiple buffers and a shell open side-by-side quite practical. The downside is that smaller monitors start to feel cramped by comparison (much like going from two monitors to one).
Same here, got an iMac 27 and an LG Ultrawide that I hook up to my mbp. I prefer the ultrawide, even though its slightly smaller than the iMac, at only 29 inches.
I do want to try a dual monitor setup with those LG ultrafine displays, they look really awesome
Recommendations on a window manager for macOS?
I want to be able to move my windows to the left, right, and center 2/3rds of an ultrawide.
spectacle is a decent window manager for mac
just if it could save preferences per App and always open in at the desired location
I also have LG 34" ultrawides. One of my best buying decision.
Which are your models?
I have the 34UM67-P. It's been a couple years so it may no longer be available.
Since we're in mid-October it will probably be worth holding out until late November for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales like I did. I can't remember what MSRP was but I got it quite a bit cheaper.
Buy 3 for the price of 1 nice one.
Dell U2415 ? :)
Middle one is a nice ASUS, right is an old one sitting around in the office, but I don't notice much difference. If I had to buy it myself though I would go for quantity over quality. If you do front end work or design, a good picture quality might be more important, but as you can see it runs sublime and terminals just fine.
I have the Dell U2415 and I'm happy with it! It also has great colors :-)
In this moment, is my choice :)
I was going to question you about the colors but I already saw that it's good :)
Btw, how is in games? (only curiosity, I don't play)
I can't help you here :( I'm not a gamer ehhe
Dell Ultrasharp, of course :)
what is your take on 4k monitors (24" vs 28") used mostly for programming (no games etc..)?
Is 4k overkill for this purpose? Do icons, menus etc get all to small?
I'm considering Samsung u28e590d but have concerns a written above...
Go bigger. I love this monitor - dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrashar...

The best advice Iv ever had in regards to monitors is:
4k vs HD?
How important is TN vs IPS for programming on 27"-28"?
