If you were thinking about the more pricey ones, I wouldn't just because for 2x of those you can get one massive curved one, have no bezel sitting in the middle, and have all the real-estate of two screens.
They tend to be built more for gaming but the higher refresh rates are beneficial to your eyes. I liked the Odyssey G9 so much for fun that the next home (work) purchase was a curved panel. Though not the G9... it was still like $1500 then.

Yeah I second what Jan said.
"5120x1440 49" - It is sooo nice to work on."
There's also something to be said for one-screen setups just because it is the same picture characteristics/refresh rate meaning your eyes aren't adjusting to different screens with minor variances.

Joan I just bought a ASUS PA279CRV here in the US it was $446.00 free shipping
I bought direct from ASUS 30 day free return
I am running at 2560 by 1440 It is capable of 3840 by 2160
I came from a 11 year old PA248
I use HDMI and have the Zoom set to 120 and Font 18
Side Note
A long time ago you asked about a good way to store code snippets
I wrote one in VB.Net with the thought of offering the EXE or code to you
via GitHub I am not sure how to DM users here Reply if you like else
I am sure you are way more advanced at coding than I am

Well, I made the mistake of being too cheap last year when I bought 2 more 27" monitors, the Dell U2722 which is 2K+ with DP and HDMI. I should have bought the one you mentioned, Dell Ultrasharp 27" U2723QE.
That Samsung looks nice with Thunderbolt 4 support, would work nice on my new Mac Mini. Apple wants $2K USD for theirs made by Sony.
Most of these panels are made by the same companies, and OEMs buy them and add a interface package to them, encase them in plastic and offer them for sale.
Consider the video interface first, how your going to hook them up, and your video card and it's ports, like DP over HDMI. And the cables do make a difference, where I found 8K cables to be cheaper than 4K cables, and worth the price. Run a separate DP cable to each monitor, if your card supports it, or you can daisy chain DP with a single card port with the Dells.
I like Dell, and even though I'm a ViewSonic reseller, I haven't bought one yet. PC's seem to lean towards Display Port, and Macs lean towards HDMI, and now Thunderbolt 4. The Samsung looks appealing to me, but no DP ports so I will pass on that one. And high end NVidia cards like DP ports as well.
If it ain't broke don't fix it

I am sorry your vision is no longer ideal. I have of recent investigated treatment and prevention of such per my eye Dr.'s recent diagnosis. From these efforts I have learned of dietary means to limit and in perhaps in some instances reverse. May I inquire are you informed of same.

I recommend a monitor with calibrated colors, for just a bit more money you get really better picture.
It's like going from old CRT to OLED.
Compare side to side in store if possible to see for yourself.

I found taking my glasses off was the best solution. The progressives do not work because one must hold the head at just the right angle for a single line and it does not work going up and down the page/screen.
Then after that it doesn't matter much what the monitor is doing.

I have 4 BenQ EL2870 (27.9", 3840 x 2160, built-in speakers), cost $250 each in 2022 from B+H Photo in NY. No problems. Used mostly for coding, occasional photos.
BenQ changes their model numbers frequently, so you may not be able to get this exact model. I have found them to be the least expensive brand with the features I need.

If you like to read magazines then you might like Skeptic.
And more specifically, in line with other recent discussions, the current issue is focused on AI. Quite a few articles actually.
Skeptic ยป The Magazine ยป Current Issue: Volume 29 Number 1[^]
The article title "Chatbots and the Pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence" is very good general piece on current capabilities.

The "Three Laws of Robotics" suggested by Isaac Asimov is now revealed to have an assumption id est said laws can be programmed w/o error. Other than human error now of course we know the mode of said programming id est LLM results in occasional hallucinations.

I had to reinstall SQL Server. When I rebooted, window automagically applied a Windows update. Now, my Taskbar in is TRANSPARENT!!!
I quick Google search found this[^]
You really havfe to wonder - does anyone at MS actually test their changes???
In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.โ

So did uninstalling the update fix it?
