Recommended Monitor Size and Resolution

Greetings all,

 

So I am looking to buy a new monitor in the coming months in order to upgrade from my Asus VX239H 1080 @ 60Hz display.

 

I will keep my current display as a second display on the side, but I need advice on what will be the best new main display for me.

 

I am a programmer/developer and gamer, and want a higher resolution than 1080p.

 

I have been looking at the following:

-AOC Q3277PQU (32" AMVA 1440p)

-Dell UltraSharp U2715H (27" IPS 1440p)

-BenQ GW2765HT (27" IPS 1440p)

 

The games I currently play are thing such as BF4, Dirt Rally, etc.

 

I am running an R9 390 Nitro, i5-6600k and 16GB DDR4 RAM. Upgrading my GPU setup is not really an option for me at the minute, that's why I have avoided the idea of 4k displays, because I won't be able to game very well on that kind of resolution.

 

Is 32" too big for 1440p? It's approximately the same PPI as my current 22-inch 1080p display, or will that be a good idea? Thoughts on 1440p? Is 4k a realistic option?

 

My target price is around £250-£350, but that's just a guide.

 

What are your opinions and suggestions?

 

Many thanks!

-Cameron

Though the guy initially said he wanted something above 1080p so that would not be a choice.
