Glad you decided against this. Most games do not support the ultra wide res that curved monitors have. Which means most games you'll play will have thick black lines on all four sides when in full screen. Really only good if you play in borderless windowed mode. Then you can have the game in the middle and other stuff on the sides, similar to what a streamer would have set up.

On a 27" or a 32", 4k is overkill. Stick with 2k and save some money. Because monitors are normally smaller and you sit so much closer to them than tvs, you can't really tell the difference between 4k and 2k. Though like mentioned above, I bet you can find a 32" 4k tv cheaper than you can get a 32" 4k monitor. There are more people who buy tv's than there are that buy monitors so companies have to make up for the smaller consumer base by having higher pricing.
