Third monitor suggestions wanted

Hello all,

I currently have 2x LG 27" 27GR75Q-B monitors and looking to add a third. These are now OOP, I'm looking for some recommendations, 2560x1440 resolution.

It looks like this might be the replacement, £280, but out of stock at the moment:

LG 27" 27GR75Q-B 2560x1440 IPS 165Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync Gaming Monitor

Alternatively, I could spend a bit more and use this OLED as my central monitor. Is an OLED monitor worth looking at? I've got an OLED TV and love the IQ. I've no idea how they are for gaming monitors though.

Another alternative... my son has the exact same monitor as the two I have, so I could use that and replace his with any other 2560x1440 gaming monitor. In which case any suggestions?

Edit: I forgot to ask for 3 monitor arm recommendations. I've got a cheap 2 arm one at the moment, but it's a bit of a pain to line up properly, so I don't mind spending more on a quality solution.

Work wise, I'm a data analyst, loving the 2 monitors while working on spreadsheets etc. Third will allow more options, two for side by side comparisons, third for Outlook and teams, Google searches etc.

Gaming wise, might be nice for trying some 3 monitors options. I'm looking to upgrade to a 9800x3d and 7900XTX in the NY, so should have the power. Other than that, again just nice to have options for multiple windows while photo editing, Adobe Audition etc. 3rd monitor is definitely a nice to have, not a necessity. But I think I'm worth it

Plus 2 monitors messes with my OCD, first monitor directly in front of me, second off to the right. it definitely feels out of balance.

New home office layout means I've got room for 3 side by side, which is my favoured layout.

Go for a single 49" 5120x1440 curved and replace both of your current screens - do much better having no bezel and actually having the center part of the screen in front of you.

Trouble with that is that I'm stuck playing with one super wide screen? With addituonal screens I can have guides and maps open for reference. Unless I can set up windows on the one monitor?
