Need advice about new monitor

I have a Philips BDM4065UC which is faulty, and Philips is offering to replace with either a BDM4350UC or BDM4037UW.

My primary use is Premiere and graphics After Effects on a Mac, so good color is important, and so is legible small text at 4K (like in the Adobe panels.) Text looks pretty cruddy on my 4065 (with and without font smoothing).

I think I would like the 4037 curved display because stuff on the left/right edges, like Adobe panels, at my viewing distance, often feels skewed because of the size of the screen. Like I have to move my head to read text comfortably at the edges (where all the panels are.) This would be even more pronounced with a 43" screen, right? Does anyone here use a curved 40" screen?

Also there are reports of bad responsiveness with the 4037 ... i.e., high "perceived blur" with motion.

However the 4350 is IPS, as opposed to VA for the other two. In the past I remember reading IPS is better ... but I see people mentioning "glow"? Is IPS better for editing/motion work? There are also reports of strong and immediate (yet temporary) burn-in with this display.

Would love to hear from anyone who has experience with either of these displays.
