I think the fact that the 27" monitors next to it are closer to the camera in that photo makes the TV look artificially smaller. It absolutely dwarfs the 27" monitors. If you're close to any store that carries 40" 4k TVs, though, just go there and stand 28" away from one. I think you'll see what I'm saying about having to turn your head to comfortably read text in the corners, something that has never been the case for me with smaller monitors.
I just bought (today) a 32" 1080p monitor and I'm lovin' it.
I think it's more productive to use a single big screen then set up a two monitor setup.
My old setup consisted of two monitors, one 23" and one 21". One day I realized that my 23" monitor could not reproduce colors. I needed to photoshop a picture. I sent the retouched version to my phone, but as I couldn't see the color depth on the 23" one, the image looked ugly on the better screen. At that time I learnt not to buy the cheapest monitor, just by looking at its size and resolution. So, I sold that monitor, and bought a 32" 1080p monitor at a bargain price.
Of course it would be better if I could buy a 1440p monitor at this size, (or even 4K OMG :)). But considering my budget this was all I could purchase.
I had serious doubts about the pixel density, however there was nothing to be afraid of. In usual tasks (e.g. browsing, writing code in emacs, terminal) nothing disturbs my eye, it's beautiful. However, if I open a 1080p youtube video fullscreen, it looks like as if it were a high quality SD video, because of the pixel density. I am standing close to the monitor, and although I cannot see any pixel points, I can notice the difference.
I bought my monitor for 900 Turkish Lira, equivalant to 254 dollars and I think it is a great investment.
