What size 4K monitor?

Looking to get a 4K monitor to replace my 1080p twin setup towards the end of the year. But not sure what size to get. 28? 32? ...Is 32" mad?
It will be your bog standard desk setup. Basic Ikea desk http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/desks/desk-computer-desks/adils-linnmon-table-white-spr-29932181/. Ideally I would like at least one of my 1080p monitors off to the side as well but I think I won't have the space.
This will primarily be for gaming (immersion) and youtube etc.

Dont worry about my rig, that will change. I definitely want to go for 4K over ultrawide 1440p for sure. Dont want to get into reasons why but ultrawide isnt for me. I've tried it and it annoys the hell out of me when watching videos on it and in games that dont support it. For me 16:9 is still the sweet Aspect ratio.
I see OCUK dont sell it but if you google Acer RT280K you will see it for an amazing price. Whats the catch? lol

Is 28" TN panel. That's the catch

Still waaay cheaper than all others. and 1ms isn't to be sniffed at

Is that 1ms on the spec sheet? If so, it is marketing guff just like their contrast spec reading.

I would be wary of buying a 4k tn panel at that price, chances are its a poor TN panel.

To be fair it's ACER. Not as if its a no name brand. I would expect it to be "decent enough"

So, for that desk would people say 28 or 32?
