I'm a software engineer who spends a lot of time reading and I'm looking for recommendations on 4K monitors that offer great clarity without any gaming extras like high refresh rates or FreeSync. What are some good options for office use?

As a fellow software engineer, I'd recommend going for a 32-inch monitor, and if you have room, maybe even two! Just a heads up, I’d avoid OLED monitors for office work since they can be pricey and might have burn-in issues. There are decent name-brand models available for $200-$300. I recently picked up a Dell 32-inch VA panel for around $300 – it has a 120Hz refresh rate, which is a bonus if you ever decide to game on it. Also, check VESA mounts if you're concerned about stand adjustability.
I’ve been using an AOC 27-inch 4K monitor for years and I love it! I opted for 27 inches for higher pixel density, which helps with clarity when I connect my Retina Mac. Blurry text is a no-go for me.
Do you think I could just get away with some larger 2K monitors instead of 4K? I have to ensure my editors can read text clearly without any blurriness!
