In my one instance of using a 27" 1080p monitor for work, the picture felt a bit fuzzy. I assumed it was because I had hit the breaking point. 24" 1080p monitors look plenty sharp to me.
At the same time, a 32" 4k display is too pixel dense for work. I have to scale the screen in Windows to 150%. This has some benefits. When done properly, it results in what's essentially "Ultra sharp 1440p". You get 1440p space to work with, but things like text can end up extra sharp. This does require good app and OS support. And it does require your GPU to work harder than native 1440p, though.
All that being said, I think that 3440x1440 is an ideal, practical resolution for a 34" UW monitor. At least for productivity like office work. Anything higher will result in the price going up much quicker than the benefits. Not only the cost of the monitor itself, but also the additional load on your PC and electrical costs.

Edit: people aren't very bright. "4k" monitors are about 4k pixels wide by 2160 pixels high or about 4k x 2k. If you keep the vertical pixel count the same and make the monitor ultrawide it becomes about 5k x 2k... So by definition it's not 4k, it's 5k.
The problem is that marketing has convinced people that 4k implies a particular resolution, when in fact you should look at the 2160 pixel row count. When the person above asked if it's 4k, they meant to ask about the resolution. Dopey, who I quoted above, is implying that they don't make UHD UW monitors, which is false. The LG monitor I linked above has a resolution of 5120x2160, or 163 pixels per inch on a 34" monitor. That is identical to a "4k" 3840x2160 27" 16:9 monitor. Either Dopey doesn't know that they make ultra high def ultrawide monitors or he's being pedantic about "well technically you can't have a 4k ultrawide monitor".
