Multi-Monitor setup vs Curved Gaming Monitor?

Curious what the group thinks.

I work from home, and I also do a bit of PC gaming. Currently this happens at the same "workstation". I have a work laptop hooked up to a multi-monitor setup with 3 additional monitors varying in sizes from 32" down to like a 19".

My personal laptop is set off to the side and when I'm using that I can grab one of the multi-monitors (the biggest one) to extend that display. I'm extending through the hardware provided by work for the others, but that one uses HDMI and a splitter.

I'm looking into possibly getting larger monitors for the multi-setup but the thought of one larger 4k curved monitor crossed my mind. Was curious what the pro's and con's would be of that from someone who's done both.

Right now, for my job I occasionally need to screenshare and things like that. All I can think of is I wouldn't share the full screen, but the window that was needed when doing that. Was curious if it's better/worse to have one larger curved for multi-tasking stuff.

Example: I'll have youtube or spotify running "in the background" on one of the side monitors while I have work up on the big one and the medium one may have e-mails or documentation lending itself to the project I'm working on while a MS Teams chat or emails or something like that would be live on the actual laptop screen. It's spread out but it works.

Would this become too crowded to do reasonably with a larger curved monitor?
