Your machine specs?

gtx 1080. I5 3570k.

with my budget is it possible for 4k monitor?

I really doubt you can do 4K gaming with that GPU though - personally I'd go with a 1440p 144Hz monitor setup instead

planning to upgrade next year when new model out. So buying monitor first.

Possible to get - the only problem is you'll end up with 60Hz:

Also 4K at 27 inch is overkill IMHO

Acer Z321QU

LG 32GK650F

4k at 27 inch....... 150%-200% scaling

so 4k at below 30 inch is not worth it? -

Imo its not because things will be hard to read.
It might be worth it if you work on things that need the high resolution though.

does 2k monitors have that read problem?

At 24 inch probably, at 27 inch should be readable

at 4k 27 inch likely that it will be too small. yes you can increase the text size by increasing the scaling to 150% but then some programs may become cacat (esp those older apps)

so 4k what size is best for monitor?

Personally I would go for 43 inch as the ppi is 102 so I don't need to do text scaling. But if you want your text to look sharp you may want to go lower in size but your eyesight need to be good as the text will be smaller

TBH, monitor larger than 27 is overpowered.
