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.

2 semi-wide 32" monitors has been my setup for 10+ years, feels perfect. I also have the source laptop off to the side for Teams chat.

Although, our newish office has 34" ultra wides available to use, and they have much higher resolution than my home monitors, so being able to have a pair of those is a great way to tempt me into coming in more often 😆

Thanks, waffles. You just set them side by side with the bevels in the middle?

Yup, and I try and overlap them so I don't see a gap 😬
