Hi. I am thinking of buying the LG Ergo Monitor for my MacBook Pro 13", as I like the look and ergonomics, but am not sure which version to buy.

LG 27UN880-B (163 PPI)

LG 32UN880-B (140 PPI)

LG 27QN880-B (108 PPI)

Anyone has experience with above monitors? I do a lot of reading and writing on the computer, so my biggest concern is that the text will feel blurry. I read somewhere that a PPI of 110 or 220 would be best when used with the MacBook, which fits the 27QN880-B?
 
there's tons of videos on youtube about these but no one say something about the relation with the macbook pro.

the 32 is down to $550 is tempting, I want it for the future 14 inch macbook pro
 
A PPI of 110 will be terrible and cause blurry fonts. You want at least a 32" 4K, i.e. ≈140 ppi, so that macOS enables the HiDPI ("Retina") modes with their vastly better font rendering. The higher the PPI, the better though.
