Upgrading (downgrading?) from 57" Neo G9

I've had it with Samsung and their poor build quality as well as abysmal warranty process. After having another Neo G9 die on me after just 4 months, I'm switching to something different.

But what? I feel like anything I do is going to be a downgrade.

I don't have a budget (although would prefer to keep it under 2500 if possible).

I am 80% office usage, 20% gaming. I LOVE the screen real estate, and if I had more I wouldn't complain. I have a pretty big desk that easily fit my 57".

If I do gaming in the future, I would probably just use my center monitor and not try to fit them all together.

Laptop has a 4070 grapphics card. So while not super high end, not bad. I previously ran games on my G9 without issue.

I'm consider 2x 32". 3x 27". Some combination of like a 39 or 40" with one 27's on the side, maybe portrait?

I'd really like to improve screen quality from the G9, so this seems like an upgrade. But it seems like I can only do that by going with OLED (bad idea cause office use, right?), or by going with a higher resolution like a 5k or 6k monitor (but then they have shit gaming capabilities).

So then I'm sitting here thinking maybe I go with a 6k asus pro art 32" as my center/main and then a 32".. I don't know, oled next to it in case I want to play games?

It seems like there just aren't great options. Reminds me why I got the 57" in the first place. But a few years later you'd think there'd be something that could compete with it, or a couple somethings.

Switching from 57” neo, but to what?

My 2nd Samsung Neo stopped working after just 4 months. After dealing with Samsungs warranty he’ll, I’ve decided I’m not buying another one of these.

I’d like to upgrade, if it’s possible. I’m considering going with 3 27 4k monitors, but also have floated the idea of two bigger 5k2ks.

Slightly concerned about having to plug in 3 monitors, but excited about the flexibility of arranging 3 monitors however I want.

Curious about others thoughts, monitor recommendations, etc. usage will be mixed, a little gaming, a little media, and a lot of productivity.
