If you were considering the LG 27UL650 deal that I posted previously but weren't able to get in on it before it expired, you can still get the LG 27UL550 for just around $300. It's very similar to the LG 27UL650 except it has a slightly lower grade IPS panel. It's still 10-bit and supports HDR10, but it's not VESA HDR400 certified, it's slightly less bright (300 vs 350 nits typical) and has 98% instead of 99% sGRB coverage. It also has conventional bezel frame instead of a 3-sided bezel-free design. Otherwise it still has the same type/number of supported inputs, similar response time and also an adjustable stand.

Unlike the 27UL650, which appeared to be a manufacturer discount, this one only appears to be discounted at Amazon (other sellers closer to $400).

Unless you don't want a 32" screen or really badly need IPS, the VA-based LG 32UL500-W is still a better deal even at the new higher price. https://slickdeals.net/f/15252607-lg-32ul500-w-32-4k-va-panel-monitor-amd-freesync-dci-p3-95-hdr10-279-99-f-s?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

I just ordered that one yesterday and was wondering if this was better because of the IPS panel

The IPS panel is better only when it comes to viewing angles. The VA panel in the monitor you got has far better contrast, black levels, color gamut, color volume. I have three of them and they're great. The viewing angles are fine. Just a tiny touch of shift at the edges that is basically impossible to see if the monitor is facing you.

Agree some people may find the 32" a better choice for them, and that is a great deal.

I think I big reason to go with 27" is for productivity, in that a dual monitor setup based around one or two 27" monitors will fit most spaces better and also a 27" can also be rotated and used in portrait mode, where a 32" is so big it may be very unwieldy (Most 32" with adjustable stands don't support rotate - Dell U3219Q is one of the few that do, and even if you use a taller arm that allows enough clearance above your workspace to rotate, I think most people would find a rotated 32" display too tall to use comfortably).
