I can recommend using a 8k 55" TV as a monitor. They can sometimes be found for around 1000 USD and I am quite happy with mine after several years of use.

How far away do you sit from it and how curved is it (if at all)?

About arms-length. No curve, I run it at 175% scaling which at 55" makes everything large enough that even the corners are easily readable.

I used to run a 42" 4k monitor before this at 100% scaling, which made everything a little too small in the corners and I kinda wished it was curved, but with the 55 it's no problem.
