If I ever did use the touchscreen, then I just ended up having to clean the darn monitor later to get ride of the fingerprints.
If I was going to pick my perfect monitor, it would be something more like this.
It would be 12-14" tall (the viewable screen) and about 36" wide, so a diagonal measurement of 39-40" would fit the bill nicely. Then it would be a 4k or 5k monitor scaled up to that size.

I've got a few of those widescreens in 27, 35 and 39.
I have found 27 and under you still want flat. Once you step up to the 32+ the curved are better and get progressively better get as they get larger. My 35 is flat and kind of annoying.
This may sound counter intuitive but as screen size goes up the curved displays actually correct for peripheral distortion and the flats make it worse.
For 3d work I do keep a 4:3 on the desk.
