I second this. I use a 32/1440 screen and my desk is 30" deep. It's absolutely perfect. I used a 27/1440 before it, and it was just too small.
Most computer desks are around 26-27" deep, but I still think the 32 is preferable. Trust me when I say this: The vast majority of people will NEVER notice a pixel density deficit.
With all that said, after the initial size, if you're after one for gaming, I'd focus on panel type, refresh rate, and HDR type/brightness…in that order.
Modern VA panels are getting somewhat better (in terms of smearing and flicker issues w/adaptive refresh), their contrast is exceptional (the best blacks you'll see outside of OLED), and the price is right. I personally still prefer a high end IPS panel, but I can understand if someone wanted to save a few hundred bucks and get better contrast.

Think it depends on your viewing distance. For me 2k at 32 in is perfect for office use.
What's the proper distance for that? I'm considering 3 of these on a standing desk (two flanking vertical). If I'm sitting/standing centered in front of the middle screen, what's considered "proper" vs. "too close/far" for 32" @2k?
Notes/edits:
- Upgrading from two 27" 1080p "budget" monitors, so almost anything would be an improvement
- Run by a pre-pandemic 1080
- Mainly productivity, slight gaming, but not FPS or top-end settings...very forgiving (again, used to 1080p)

Trying to decide between this monitor and the LG 32QN600-B for $195, or Viewsonic VX3276-2K-MHD for $210. Mostly for work and video content. Any opinions on image quality and reliability between these companies?

Fellow 32" 1440p user here (gaming, office work and photo/video editing), and I keep it pretty close to my face.
The resolution has never even crossed my mind as an issue - I'd feel like 4K at same size is money wasted.
The only thing I'd upgrade for is perhaps curved, because at larger screen sizes your viewing angle (and hence apparent brightness) can change depending what area you are looking at.

I agree. I use 2 of the Gigabyte M32QC monitors (165Hz 32" curved QHD aka 1440p aka 2K) for both gaming and office use which are about $220 onAmazon and they look and perform like most similar spec "better brand" monitors which cost $329-$399. I bought a 3rd one recently for my parent's computer to replace a 27" 1080p flat panel and they also love it. 4K isn't necessary or worth paying more than double the price for our use, but obviously it would be beneficial for some people such as graphic designers or peopel who NEED max resolution.
Curved monitor I think warps your vision. I used one for about 3 weeks but the thing stopped working so I returned it. So while looking for a new one, I had to go back to my old (flat) monitor. Something was off at the edges.

22" or less FHD
23-27" QHD (2k)
28" no solid opinion
32" UHD (4k)
IPS is worth it.
This based on office type work, not gaming.
