Just throwing my hat into the ring here.

Actually, when using a (almost comically) large screen, I generally drop the resolution to 720p. This, as someone previously mentioned, enlarges everything on the screen. This is usually a comfort thing, as reading small 1080p text on a large screen three feet away can give you awesome headaches. You can adjust these things in the user setting (such as scaling), but dropping the resolution is just a quick and dirty way to do the same thing.

Be a little weary of 1440p (Or 2k) Monitors. Not every application has native 1440 support, so you might find yourself battling upscalling.

If I was to pick the next great thing for studio LCD/LED/OLED monitors, it would be the Ultra Wides. These guys will show you tracks for days, and look amazing (bonus points if you get a curved one). Unfortunately the industry as a whole is becoming a little turbulent. We were complacent with a 1080p standard for well over a decade, but now there is so many choices between 2K, 4K, Ultra Wide, HRD, 60-120Hz, curved, etc. Unfortunately when dealing with so many options, the support is not in place yet, as early adopters of 4K have found out.

Just remember, the size of the screen does not automatically equate to more content you can fit in there.

Also, just to confirm, unless you leave the exact same screen on for months or years, screen burn just is not a thing anymore.
