I could work with 32" 2560x1440 16:9 without scaling.

34" 3440x1440 I had to scale up text losing screen space.

I tried a 32" 4k monitor and I thought that I would be ok without scaling. I tried to manage without it but I knew that eventually I would need to do that.
Adobe products don't seem to scale that well.

Going back to a 27" 1440p, until my other monitor arrives, and I'm amazed at how big everything is again, in a good way.

Okay, so I want the larger monitors. I am going to have to go 1440p.

How will youtube videos and netflix do on a 1440p monitor?

I tried 1* Acer X34A plus 2* 2x Dell U2715H, I could never match the colours and the refresh rate change between them was jarring.

Ultimately I settled on 2* 34" Ultrawide Acer X34A 100hz and this I find much better!

I never thought about that. That confuses things.

I couldn't go with a dual monitor - i couldn't cope with staring at the places where the bezels meet all the time.
I think I will have to go for a triple monitor of the same type.

How did you find the Dell U2715H?
I really like the monitor.

What did you use it for?

I tend to just use my primary monitor then Youtube or have extra content and chat on my second.

Here are some pictures, the three monitors was also a bit "too much monitor" and as I said the colour differences and refresh rate killed it, I sold them all on waited 6 months and purchased a second matching monitor. Now I am pretty happy.

Looks sweet man.

I would just go 3x Dell U2715H.

How was youtube on the Dell and how is it on the Acer?

My concern is pillarboxing or poor quality videos.
I would have Youtube or Netflix on my secondary monitor quite a lot so I want to make sure I will be happy with the quality.

IF only they had 4k 144hz HDR GSync 1ms, my dream monitor
