I'm currently running two 24" monitors on the left and right with a 27" wide screen in the center
One of the 24's is over a decade old and is starting to fail.

I've been thinking about a 27 or 32 inch curved monitor and wonder if anybody's using one
for programming?
Mu initial thoughts are that I wouldn't like a curved monitor, but value everyone's opinion here

Ben has been for years and really like them. Reach out to him.

I just picked up a 4k 32" curved Samsung to use now that I'm doing this contract programming gig..  I'm very happy with it.

I have a 15" laptop that I'm driving it off of that I use primarily for email, but I don't feel the need for 2 monitors for Mastercam anymore.  I have enough room to keep a browser & HSMAdvisor to the side.

I use a 27 inch curve at home, I rotate it slightly to the left, I prefer it to the flat ones at work

I feel  the same way about 2 monitors, I used to have 3!
It was kind of like being in a nasa control room.
I would do my mastercam simulation on the right mastercam in the middle and visual studio on the left .
I only need 1 monitor now, and i dont do coding and mastercam at the same time anymore lol

I run 3 monitors. Two MINIMUM. I tried 4 a couple times but it's too much for me. I normally have CAM in one, CAD in another one, and Simulation on the 3rd. When I had the 4, I woudl use the 4th for Drawings and e-mail. Now I just minimize them and use them wherever makes sense at the time.
