What do you mean the rez is too high? I know ppl rec a 32in for 4k, but is it that noticeable?
Not the op, but I've been using a triple monitor setup with one 32" 4K and two 27" - one in 1440p and other in 4K. Messy, I know. They are all within 2.5' viewing distance and the 27" 4K is sharp but not by much, but I have to change the scaling on that one because everything looks tiny at native res and it can get annoying at times when I drag windows between monitors and scaling gets locked into one res or the other. If I could do it over again, I would have just gotten all in 32" @ 4k, or settle for all in 27" but keep to 1440p and go for higher refresh and response time instead.

Your computer displays items by lighting up pixels. A 4k display has more pixels than a 1440p display, so if you have the same physical sized screen, the pixels on the 4k display will show smaller to your eye (more pixels crammed into the same physical space). A toolbar that is 80 pixels high will therefore look smaller to you on a 4k screen than a 1440p screen.
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.
