New monitor dilemma

[Dagon]

Ugh, choosing a new monitor is indeed tough. My current monitor is 27 inch 60Hz, I'm thinking of upgrading to 32 inch. I've kind of narrowed it down (I'm limited by depth) to these options:

Monitor A
32 inch
Curved VA panel
144Hz

Monitor B
32 inch
Flat IPS panel
165Hz

Use is approx 9 hours a day work (Teams, Notepad++, Netbeans etc), 2 hours gaming

Which would you pick?

To me 32" seems the logical progression. I started out with a 14" CRT, then a 17" CRT (that was a big bugger), then 22" flat screen, now I've had a 27" at 1080p 60Hz for years.

I may be wrong but 32" at 1440p should look better than 27" at 1080p. Anyway it doesn't need to be fantastic, my eyesight has never been great and earlier this year I got diagnosed with glaucoma.

I don't game competitively, if I play an FPS it'll be Fallout/Bioshock pace.

And now to attempt to defy the laws of physics...

Current setup with 27" screen 1080p - distance from back of desk to front of screen = 15 cm.
So if the new 32" monitor is > 15 cm from back of stand to front of screen then it will be closer to my face than the 27" is.

If the stand would allow for overhanging the back of the desk there is an additional 5cm gap between the back of the desk and the wall.
Which rules out all these tripod-y style stands.

I was originally looking at an LG but the overall depth (back of stand to front of stand) was 30cm, it's hard to say exactly what the distance (back of stand to front of screen) is but it looks a bit much.
Now I'm looking at the iiyama monitors, they have a nice flat square base which might be OK to overhang a little.
