Help me pick a 4k monitor (this is not an advert for monitors)

Hi guys, I'm looking for a 4K 27-34 monitor and maybe IPS. I'm totally spoiled for choice. Anybody like to recommend something. BTW if you have a big (32-32) monitor is it too big?

Currently looking at either S27A800NMU or LG 27UL550-W. Both pretty similar except the Samsung has USB and a USB hub but as the USB sockets are on the back I don't see that they're that much use.  The LG is more than E100 cheaper.

I have a Dell 30" 2560 x 1600 monitor that I've been using for quite a few years now. I wouldn't want anything smaller as my eyes don't get any better. Seriously the main reason for getting one of this size and resolution was to be able to work with A4 documents without requiring any scrolling. It's also great for pcb CAD. I noticed a review of the LG unit, https://www.monitornerds.com/lg-27ul550-review/ said that the brightness was limited (300cd/sqm) compared to the 27UL650 and you should bear this in mind. My Dell monitor would benefit from a brighter backlight at times.

Also consider the dual monitor option, I've had two for a long time and would never go back.

I also have two 24 inches monitors. It is very convenient.
