4k is nice but do you need it and can your laptop run it?

Obviously bigger is better (?) but does anyone have experience of working about 60-70cm from a 32 inch screen? I've only used up to 28's and got nothing to reference at home - is this actually too big?
70cm away from a 43" 4K monitor:-

It takes a bit of getting used to, and I tend to only use chunks of the screen at a time, rather than looking at the whole thing, but it's really helped as I can have multiple things open at the same time, spaced nicely, and also have rarely used items (email, Slack, spotify, etc) open and visible in the outer reaches of the screen.

34" ultrawide (21:9) at 65cm is fine here.
Equivalent width 16:9 would be 36".

I have a 34" ultrawide which I sat about 60-70cm away from and it's fine. (This one https://www.cclonline.com/product/philips-345b1c-curved-monitor-34-inch-3440-x-1440-uwqhd-va-panel-amd-freesync-black-345b1c-00-318559/ it's a bit pricier but the one USB C cable for power, video, sound and USB hub is great.)
I wouldn't be so keen on a 4K monitor. Comparing the dimensions of that to mine I think it would be too much looking up/down if you're that close.

I've just got a new sit-stand desk expensed and delivered from work which I'm going to put in at the weekend. I'm going to spring for a new monitor and was thinking of this:

(Happy for any similar priced suggestions - I've never bought one before)
