I have a 28 4k and it is pretty good... Also 15 4k laptop no issues.
I won't settle for anything less than 4k...text is so crisp. Working writing reading is a pleasure in these monitors.
Windows scale works ok

I bought 32un880 LG that is 32” and i find this monitor to be perfect for me. In fact, i am going to buy another one if it goes on sale again.
I also own an acer 28” uhd (don’t remember the model number), and i find it a bit too small for me.

The Dell is highly regarded by Rtings, and most likely has a bit better build quality based off the reviews I've read of both. Their stands are generally very good as well. It also has Freesync which is kind of meh for the purpose of the monitor anyways.
This Samsung has 90W USB-C which is really nice for those with modern laptops.
If you don't care about USB-C and don't mind paying $75 more, I'd say Dell is a good buy. It has been cheaper before, but that was back in summer of last year.
is the smallest recommended screen size for 4k supposed to be 31 or 32"? is 27" too small for 4k?

Brightness at 300 nits and contrast ratio of 1000:1 don't make this a great option for coding.
The 32" LG deal at Costco has better options for that purpose.
Not just that but 1000:1 Contrast Ratio is about half what you would need for a good HDR experience and 300 nits are not too good for that either.
60hz makes me run away from these... especially since it's > 1080p resolution
This gets posted on every monitor. For office work, home use, productivity, color matching, video editing - 60hz is fine. I wish people would specify the use case when stating that 60hz is no good.
Gaming may benefit from a >60hz refresh rate, but it's not generally needed. And it's still expensive to find a 4K display with at least a 120hz refresh rate.
I also don't know why people are complaining about the screen size. You don't have to work at the original resolution. All OSs will scale to 125% or 150% perfectly.
My only complaint, funny enough, is that this doesn't have any USB-A ports.
I've been looking for monitors with USB ports as well, and this definitely has them.
