wish I had seen the 32" model before I purchased mine. With 4k the extra size of the screen is really important, because the text especially will be more readable. Graphics wise... It doesn't matter, you are going to be impressed with a native 4k display despite of the size..So I think I am going to get one of these

just getting a second or third or fourth opinion lol
Hm, looking at the 27" HDR model, it has your average backlight with just 350CD intensity, and the colorspace is listed as SRGB, so probably very crummy HDR on the whole. I would go with Cyan's advice and take the larger screen of the two, if these are the models you are interested in. You probably won't be missing much in the way of "HDR" anyway and a bigger screen means more epic vistas in-game. (And more easily readable text as Cyan said. Gods know my own eyes aren't getting any better with age. Fuuuu....)just getting a second or third or fourth opinion lol
Yea i think for the extra hundred i will buy the 32 and it will hold me for a number of years. For text i still plan on keeping my 2 24 inch monitors or at least one of themwish I had seen the 32" model before I purchased mine.

The little details that 4k brings out are quite easy to nice -you go like.. "hey I didnt notice that thing before in my previous displays.." or "wow, even if it's a 2D game, it looks so sharp now, I was missing some details"... That happened to me when playing a classic 2D game, Age of Empires 1, with a HD patch -alas, the patch only allows resolutions up to 1440p, but even at 1440p, the details come to life compared to how I played that amazing game before in the late 90s and in the following years.
However text can look very small, although if you game on a console that shouldn't be an issue, I was talking about your typical PC OS.

I wouldn't trust that. As Clukos mentions the brightness is to increase the available - real-world - dynamic range. Not the fake 100,000:1 dynamic range mentioned in the monitor's specs. And SRGB doesn't fit wide color gamut either as mentioned, so it'll probably be some kind of tone mapping fakery there as well.I have read that since your closer to a monitor you don't need the 1,000CD for the monitor to display HDR properly
you are a true hero. It's not easy not to fall for new technologies in this space to keep up pace. Hopefully my 4k monitor will last as long as yours if not more! But back in 2007 I "had" to purchase a 720p HD Ready TV because it was a thing and I had a X360. I still have it although I gave it away to my mom.I'm still using my ancient 24" Dell 2405 from 2005 as my primary display for browsing and developing. It would be nice to have a better monitor as the image retention is nasty on this old thing, but I've made it this long and it would be a real shame to get anything short of a proper HDR display now.

Indeed! "They don't build 'em like they used to..."The build quality is extremely professional and feels premium.
I've got the next model 2007 24" dell, 16:10 1920x1200 using it as my secondary display, starting to crap out the last year or so, occasionally green vertical lines, and more often lots of horizontal lines dancing around,I'm still using my ancient 24" Dell 2405 from 2005 as my primary display for browsing and developing.
