Update: Picked up the monitor this morning, great looking monitor with minimal bezels and a fast easy setup. Straight out of the box its calibrated nicely though I will need to adjust to my preferences. I am mostly using my system for tech and basic graphic design work along with some light audio and video editing. At the moment my laptop is being stubborn and defaulting to the Intel GPU, updating drivers so I can take full advantage of 1050Ti. Very good buy at $260

I got the lg one best buy also has on sale for around this price and trying to decide to keep it or not for this exact reason. With scaleing it's really not much difference to my dell 27" 1440p. The Dell also has better color. While text is definitely sharper side by side, it's also much smaller. Plus I would not say the text is unsharp on the Dell, it's just sharper on the lg. And with no scaling it's way to small at this size.
Since my monitor is working fine I'm leaning towards returning it. Once it dies I would probably get something larger if it's 4k. I also have a 55" 4k that I use as another monitor but I mostly use it for viewing media and lightroom, not really as a workspace for much else since it's too big. plus the color accuracy is crap which is why I was looking into getting an actual monitor instead of using a tv. I think between a 32-40 inch 4k would be a better to balance practical size and the usefulness of those extra pixels.
If he's a hardcore gamer then this isn't a good one. You want low ms and high hz.

Spend a little more , get a good vesa configuration, adjustable stand and brighter display at 350 nits (+50 from this deal)
Honestly not sure which one I'd take. Smaller size means higher DPI, but with 4k, that is likely not a big factor anyway and the larger size would be preferred. Then there's VA vs IPS. Though, if sitting right in front of it (as you likely are), that shouldn't be much of a drawback.
6 of one I guess
I got it for my PS5 and looks amazing. I understand the 60hrz only option, but once 4k 120 is affordable and more options are out, this will do just fine.
Which one do you guys recommend?

If you are going to use it for office work, I would go with IPS panel (28). That 32" has VA panel
