Do you want 1080p or move up to different resolution like 2560x1440?
Or even 2560x1080?

Your RX480 ain't going to cut the 4K monitor, but again if you keep AA off, and lower bit the ress will be ok. Leaving 4K for content only.

Imho also look at some reviews on this one
LG 29UM68-P 29" 2560x1080 IPS FREESYNC

Will look into the LG one. I think it would be best to stay around the 1080p mark. I think i would rather have a higher Hz than higher res
