Monitor Recomendations?

So Finally getting a new system and I'm pretty pumped. Mind u it nothing super fancy but an upgrade all the same. Currently I have been using 3 DELL 24" monitors A few years old for sure but functional. I am really up in the air as to what I should do for new monitors. Maybe 2 bigger monitors, flat screens, curved screens, maybe one of those ridiculously large curved screens... What are u guys doing?

I have been using the 3rd screen for my toolpath/level managers because I just dont hae enough real estate on the 24" screens to leave it docked. But there are issues with that, it makes a few issues with safety zones and points manager. Not sure why but I filed it a while ago. So when I work with those features I have o re dock to get proper function.. PITA for sure, so I am looking forward to getting back to 2 or maybe one proper sized monitors...

Here is my setup.  I use a 3 monitor setup. 2 Dell ultrasharp u2417h monitors with an Asus ZenScreen mb16ac as a 3rd monitor.  I use 1920 x 1080 resolution.  I'm very happy with it.  I have thought about dual curved monitors.  Never used curved so i don't know what i'm missing.  Anyone use curved dual monitors?

I'm running 2 Dell 24" UltraSharp2 for a left and right monitor, with a 27" UltraSharp in the middle

Could you share your gradient color settings?

I'm running

Background (gradient start)  = 0

Background (gradient end)  = 155

I like the gradient on your screen and would like to try it

I bought a single 43" Samsung UN43RU7100FXZA for each of our 4 programmers. We got them for $300 each from Amazon. We found Displayport to HDMI cables that support 4K 60fps. With a couple of setting adjustments on the TV they play nice with Windows 10 and our Quadro cards. For the money, I think this is so much nicer than dual screens with a split at the center of your vision.

This is my temporary work from home configuration. My work desk is a little deeper so I can sit a little further back.

Also, you can by VESA monitor stands so you can tilt and rotate the screen like a monitor. FWIW, the audio is passed through the Quadro Displayport connection and the TV speakers work fine. It's nice not having the clutter of speakers anymore.
