Our take
27-inch 4K is the size we recommend for people who live in documents. 32-inch 4K makes you turn your neck. 1080p at 27 inches makes you squint. This is the boring correct answer.
If the Amazon listing includes USB-C with laptop charging, that one cable is the whole desk upgrade. If it is HDMI-only, you will still need the laptop brick. Read that line twice.
