To compensate for this, software can often re-size what is displayed on the screen into a different number of pixels, but the way your software programs handle this resizing is inconsistent, and it's hard to make it look good when you take 1 pixel and turn it into 1.3 pixels. (How can you light up one-third of a pixel?). So it's better to either get exactly the right resolution to start, or get an even multiple. At 27", that means getting either a 1440p monitor, OR a 5k, which allows you to rescale exactly 1:2. (Those are very expensive though)
At 32", the physical pixels are pretty much ideally-sized for a 4k screen, at 27" you want 1440p, and at 24" 1080p is good. 4K also works very well at 24" since 4k is exactly double the height and width of 1080p in pixels, so you can scale it perfectly and it looks very sharp. For a 27" display, 5k is double 1440p, and in fact that's what Apple likes to do with their displays.
