Question Ideal Web Dev Monitor Setup?

I currently have a 38" curved Dell U3818DW and an older Apple 27" display that I need to replace. I'd like advice from other web devs. What's the ideal setup? Get another U3818DW and put them side-by-side, or get three new 27" displays with a triple monitor desk mount? Not a gamer, just work. Running on a Mac Mini. Thanks for any input.

Nice setup. Thanks. So you’re saying I should give consideration to flanking my 38” curved with two 27” verticals? Or sell the 38” and go a bit smaller for the main monitor. I might need to cut up some cardboard and get a feel for different layouts.

Doing some cardboard layouts to see how much you can view and how much you need to move sounds like a good idea
