I am currently looking for two 27" or larger IPS monitors for use with my laptop. My distance from screen will be 75 cms. I currently doesn't play any games but may do that in future. I would need speakers on the monitors.

I was looking at 4K, but most of them have only 60hz refresh rate. Any thing with higher refresh rates are very highly priced.

Shall I go for a WQHD 27" monitor with high refresh rate?

Will a 32" monitor fit my desk considering the 75 cms viewing distance?

Which brands are best?

Any good offers running at the moment?
 

There is not much space on my desk to put speakers though there is plenty of space on floor. Not a big audiophile. Or I can put a small desk soundbar that would do the job.

I have a similar set to the above and it works well for my needs (mostly video calls). The small speakers can be put on a shelf or elsewhere out of the way.

If desk space is tight and there is a wall behind where the screen is going, you could consider wall mounting the screen to reclaim some extra space underneath.
 
Would it be advisable to buy a single 32" monitor and use several desktops on it for various tasks rather than buying two 27" monitors?
 
Any opinion on the below monitor?

LG 32" UHD 4K Monitor 32UN650P

Will it be enough to watch 4K movies, productivity, music, youtube content etc?
 
Thanks. I have ordered one fron very.ie

Let me try it and see whether it is of any good.

I bought a pair of Creative Pebble v3 speakers, think they were around 30 to 35 euros, they are very nice and utilise the unused usb C on my dock. Most monitors don't come with speakers now, or if they do, they are very poor. As for monitors, I found same thing with 27 inch versions - there are "gaming monitors" that give better resolution but most 4k panels are made for tvs with 42 inches or bigger.
