Planning to change my setup around the new 32 inch oled displays, need some help/guidance on a multiple monitor setup around my budget

Technical Support

​

Ok so right now I have a 2 monitor setup a 27 inch 2560x1440p and a 24 inch 1920x1080p.

I used to have a 3 monitor setup with 2 of the 24 inch monitors and the 27 inch in the middle but my girlfriend moved in and I no longer had room for a 3 monitor setup with the way we had our gaming room.

​

I tried to get a monitor arm that would allow me to mount my third monitor above the central one so I could keep my 3 monitor setup, but I really didn't like the 1 monitor above it gave me a bad neck to look at and I found in generally uncomfortable - shortly after doing this one of my 24 inch monitors broke so I decided to just stick with 2 monitors for the last year and a half.

However I really have hated having only 2 monitors for certain types of productivity and games that I play

[Path of exile for example, I like having a monitor for Layouts/POB/Trade etc and another for watching streams/youtube/netflix/friends screen sharing]

I have been holding off for a long time on buying a new monitor until the right oled comes out (they are coming very soon) my plan is to get a 32 inch 4k oled 240 hz monitor as soon as they are available.

my plan is to have 2x 27 inch side monitors, I have more space than before but still somewhat limited and I will be needing a monitor arm for these 3 monitors to save on desk space and to keep the monitors as far back on my deep desk as I can to avoid eyestrain and having to turn my head/neck a lot.

I have a few questions for you wonderful enthusiasts -

  1. is there a decent monitor arm that allows me to have 3 side by side monitors that include a 32 inch and 2x 27 inch monitors (I would much prefer if it wasnt fully flat but that the 2x 27 inch monitors were tilted a bit as too somewhat shorten the total length of the monitors as well as fit my peripheral vision better/cause slightly less strain turning my neck as often

  2. Will it be on to use a 4k 32 inch monitor with 2x 2560x1440p side monitors? I haven't had any

issues having 2x 23 inch 1080p and 1x 27 inch 1440p monitors in the past - its slightly clunky

moving things from 1 screen to another but I am so used to this that its seamless to me now, will

there be any other issues with the resolution etc and will these other monitors have any impact

on the quality of my main monitor?

  1. I can't afford 3 of the 32 inch 4k monitors nor would I have the space for that but I cant

compromise on the main 32 inch monitor - would there be another better setup maybe 24 inch

1440p monitors or 24 inch 1080p etc?

  1. is there possibly an alternative to a monitor arm that would keep my desk clear of stands and allow my monitors to be super close to the wall as far back as possible? most monitor stands from my experience are kind of large and either push the monitor further forward or protrude out significantly

thank you in advanced I really appreciate the help with this I am really struggling but also super excited :)
