Hey everyone

Ive always been a sort of 3 monitor guy, one playing my music, one main middle one for working and socials etc and the 3rd for emails.

There all 24"

But I’m trying to work out if i should be going to buy a curved type monitor and just replacing it with one 34" curved type screen, or should i go two curved screens, or just got one really big 43" curved?

Im worried if i get a big curved i wont be able to separate windows that i like to be open such as email on one side showing all the time and having a spot for music to show.

What are your experiences with curved? Im i better off just keeping my and keep them separated or bite the bullet and upgrade to curved?

Thanks all…

    I am also a 3 monitor guy. Then I became a 4 monitor guy when one more got wall mounted above the center screen. I had 3 flat 27" screens, then side-graded to a curved 1000R 27" IPS in the center. Having a curved screen in the center and flats on the side was actually a really good experience for me. I did like it.

    I then side-graded to a 4k center panel and I like it ok, but it’s different. The resolution inconsistency is not handled amazingly by windows, but it’s ok. Some apps freak out when you have different pixel densities on different displays.

    I have used some large individual panels and it is not the same vibe as a nice multi panel setup. Windows 11 has helped a lot by including a solid window manager that helps with tiling. But again it’s just a different vibe when it comes to workflow and focus for me.

    3x 4k or 3x 1440p would be my route, assuming the features you need are within your price range. Basic 1440 and 4k panels have gotten really cheap
