My first and best recommendation is that you take a close look at your workflow and ask yourself the following questions:
Do I need more vertical or horizontal space? This will help identify a few things. First, if vertical space is important, you can remove both the ultra-wide setup and the multi-monitor setup that doesn’t include at least one monitor in portrait mode.
If maximum horizontal space is most important to you, then the ultrawide category is most likely your best bet from a cost and efficiency perspective. If you require a combination of the two, a hybrid landscape/portrait multi-monitor setup or a single large monitor is your best bet.
How many monitors can my system support? It is extremely important to investigate this before making any major changes to your screen layout. If the answer for your system is one, then you will have to use an ultra-wide monitor or a single large monitor, assuming your system can support 4K resolutions for the latter. If you have the option to connect multiple monitors, your options are much more varied.
How much desk space do I have? This applies to both the width and depth of your desk. Wider desks can easily accommodate large-screen and dual- or even triple-monitor setups, but they may not have the depth needed for curved ultra-wide monitors. Likewise, deeper desks can easily accommodate ultra-wide monitors while they may struggle with the extra width that some triple-monitor configurations require.

Your best bet is to carefully consider the dimensions of your potential monitor (with and without a stand) and see which one best fits your available desk space.
How much will I need to spend on a stand, stand, or stand for my monitor(s)? Simply put, the larger or more creative your setup is, the more likely it is that you will need to purchase aftermarket mounting options. Some of these can be quite pricey, especially if you are looking for options with gas support arms capable of moving the screen attached to them vertically as well as horizontally. Even some wall mounts designed for 65-inch and larger TVs can suffer damage from the large leverage caused by the strongly curved front edges of their screens.
If you want to save cash, look for monitors that include a stand that fits all your needs, right out of the box. If not, consider display lifters that can add height to make existing stands more adaptable, or experiment with a hybrid approach that uses both the default stand and the top mounts. wall or on the table.
