If I'm reading your post correctly I'd say the 27" is your ticket for max viewing real estate that can "fit" w\ most computer desk designs today. This is what I also did according to my existing computer desk design as it is 1 of the "enclosed" hutch designed desks and a 27" LCD monitor was the largest size that would fit this desk design's symmetry and not impede access to any of it's departments.

In the end though it is up to you.

After considering a 27", cost and fact that some of the lager monitors use the same resolution (1920x1080) on a larger area.
I went with this one and it is perfect for my GPU (EVGA gt980oc). I get very high framerates in AH3.
The build quality and screen controls are the best I have ever seen. A perfect choice for me YMMV <S>.

How close are you sitting and do they have the same resolution? I sit 2 ft away with a 27. Since I started using a
VR headset it looks small.
