Triple monitor curved surround on the cheap

For the past 6-7 years I've been using an ASUS VG236H 3D monitor and a crappy ViewSonic 2nd monitor and I'm feeling like an upgrade.

 

I saw this Samsung 24" curved monitor at a pretty good price: https://www.debenhamsplus.com/p/1054439/samsung-ls4e510csxu-curved-hdmi-4-monitor

 

They are 1920x1080 VA panels

 

I could definitely make use of the extra screen real estate for general usage, so my question; is triple monitor surround worth it at this monitor size/price? Personal feelings and experiences welcome =)

Hi,

 

I don't think curved 16:9 displays make sense, maybe they do in surround, but I'm not sure it would be a good option since you could get a 29" 21:9 1080p curved ultrawide for about as much (a little more I think) as 3 those monitors you linked.

I have had triple 24in monitors and for me personally 24 is too small for 3 monitors because if you are gaming on just one of them then it feels really small. I think you should get 2 27in and upgrade to 3 if you really want to later. I do not really play games on 3 anymore but for productivity it is amazIng. I have never seen a curved 16:9 in person but I think you should try it somehow in person or just get flat monitors
