I use dual 27" 4K monitors, which I think is the perfect compromise.

Nice! Sounds like all that compromised there, was the wallet. ;)

It's actually not that expensive to get dual 27 @4k vs. a single very large format (32+) 4k if you hunt around for deals.

I bought a two LG 27UD680-P for 350 USD each last month over a single BenQ BL3201PH 32 which was about 800 USD at the time.

I did the exact same thing. It seems reasonable to spend $700 on the major interface you have with your computer. I also expect these monitors to last about 10 years.

I totally agree, I was just yanking your chain. :)

I made a similar decision to yours last year and am currently on a 5K 27" + 4K 27" setup myself.
