I'm deciding between the 2 atm. Found these at a great price at Costco, the LG 27UD58-B(4k) is around 370$ (after tax) and the LG 34UM61-P (1080p ultrawide) is around 305$ (after tax).

 

I'm mainly using the monitor to watch videos and play some games (haven't decided if to become main display) and hooking my switch to, so 4k not really necessary. 

 

Of course there's a better monitor with vesa mount around 30in let me know ?

 

 

Either you're master race or you're not.

34" Full HD?

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Oops forgot to put which one was which.

The 34" is ultrawide 1080p

27" is 4k 16:9

I think linus says in a video that larger screen with lower resolution makes your Graphics Card work easier than 24" 4K

Doesn't matter how big the screen is. It's the resolution that matters so yeah, that statement is correct but the larger screen part is irrelevant. 1080p is always going to be easier to run than 4k.

1080p at that size isn't bad and is fine especially for gaming and movies. It starts to become less fine for productivity work but I'd only recommend against it if you do a lot of work with text and stuff.

 

However, because you are mainly going to be using it for gaming and movies, I recommend getting the 4k. Even if you know your PC can't play games at 4k, I'd be worth it to play games at 1080p but be able to have 4k for everything else.
