Buying Monitor for Readings Text

[Nasser]

Dears,
I'm looking to buy a 24 inches monitor, I want to use it for office work mostly reading mail texts and sometimes watching graphs.

I find two monitor models:

One has 4K resolution with 1:000 contrast ratio.

Another one has only full HD resolution but with higher contrast ratio of 1:3000.

Which monitor I will feel more comfortable, more clear and better view experience for reading text, the one that has higher resolution or that has higher contrast ratio.

Regards

Welcome aboard.

Text reading doesn't need any ultimate contrast.
Actually super high contrast between background and text even hurts reading comfort:

Hence any monitor above potato is good enough in that.

Also 4K with properly chosen scaling gives superior readability, because of text characters being clearer/finer defined.
(more like that in print, whose DPI/PPI is far above monitors)

And 1:3000 contrast tells it's VA type LCD.
Some of which have RGB subpixels split to two parts, which hurts clarity of text with possibly only half of pixel illuminated causing gaps.
