Why would you be against adding another monitor. When I have two monitors I benefit from angling them so that each one is perpendicular to my face as I turn it to look. The larger the screen, the lower percentage of that screen is perpendicular.

I mentioned this in a comment below:

>I had a 34 inch with a second 27”, but a single 38” hits the sweet spot of not needing another monitor.

For a short while I had the second screen with the 38” screen but it was just overkill (the 38” alone is enough to cover a large portion off the usable area of my desk, so the 27” mostly just sat out of view)

This is why curved computer monitors make sense, and curved TVs don't (multiple viewers in most?/many cases).

A quick DDG for "xr382cqk" says that's a 34 inch, 21:9 aspect ratio curved display.

It’s a 38” 21:9

I had a 34 inch with a second 27” monitor, but a single 38” hits the sweet spot of not needing another monitor

Ah, it seems the copy on https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/UM.TX2AA.001 is incorrect - the specs below do say 37.5", I didn't notice the discrepancy before.
