24" or 27" monitor for text/documents?

I would strongly encourage you to get a 4K monitor.
I deal with text a lot (writing, reading PDFs), as well as some graphics work (Keynote, sciencey graphs and plots, omnigraffle, mind maps).
I recently ditched my dual-24” HD monitor setups (home and school/lab) for a single 27” 4K monitor (one at home, one at the lab), and it is so much better, and easier on my eyes. Having one screen is also less distracting, and helps me focus. My laptop is always clamshelled when I’m working.
