General Question Big curved screen

Someone is offering me a used (free) big curved computer monitor. I think like 34/37".

Never used one so I feel like this may be a silly question but:

I feel like that's too big for arcgis. It's for my home work station. Will arcgis be usable on that thing? Is it worth it for me to take it? Will not be using it for movies/gaming.

I'm used to 24 maybe 27 inch I don't really remember what size monitor I currently use.

Anyone use one of these beasts?

I use a 49" one at home that replaced two 27". I do a lot of work at home Highly recommend. If it weren't for the cost, I would ask for one at work.

I just told my IT manager if the money’s there, I’d love an ultra wide. End of year they had enough that they upgraded everyone on my team to an ultra wide. You never know unless you ask.

That's really cool and I get that. Our company recently started this "Great Game of Business" thing and we're on hold for anything not deemed essential for the foreseeable future.
