I last bought a monitor in 2009! Got 2 Samsung 24inch 1900by1200 monitors currently.

Have decided it is time to replace them with a new 4k monitor (just the one) as feel I'd get more benefit and really have very little use for dual display. Guessing with a 4k monitor you rarely need to drag stuff onto a second screen too.

I used to always think 24inch was the ideal size but looking more like the standard is 27/28 inches for 4k ones?

Anyone got a recommendations? My main considerations are:

-Needs to good for gaming (low input lag) and general internet browsing
-Needs a well designed (and hopefully small) base and stand with options to align it up and down

Size wise, I am open minded but feel like anything over 28 inch could be too much for gaming and/or general internet browsing?

I am guessing DisplayPort is the way to go over HDMI too (although all modern ones seem to have both options). Also, bit worried about how small font will be on a max res. Does anyone find it a strain?
 
Yeah I have to use DisplayPort as my GTX 960 HDMI output pins got snapped!

That is bit more than I was looking to spend though. Anything closer to the 300-400 mark?
 
The more I look into this the more I am thinking of just sticking to my 2 24" ones for now. 1900by1200 is a good general res for most stuff.
