Monitors: 32" vs 27"

I am looking for a monitor for my M1 MacBook Air 2020; in a year or so I might upgrade to the next Mac Mini M5.

I want to build up a desk setup and have singled out the following two monitors:

• 32 inch Smart Monitor by KTC (A32Q8): 4k@60hz, VA, 65w PD, GoogleTV integrated. - 178€ / 206 USD
• 27 inch business Monitor by Xiaomi (A27ui): 4k@60hz, IPS, 90w PD, pivot. - 234€ / 272 USD.

I will use the monitor for two things:

• 2/3 of the time for work: Reading (for which I also have my iPad Pro 12.9 inch, so it might not be my main reading tool), working with texts, writing emails, that kind of stuff. No creative work etc.
• 1/3 of the time for media consumption: Watching Netflix and stuff, sometimes maybe play a game (but nothing that requires high refresh rate).

I understand the Xiaomi is the better pure work monitor (sharper text at 163 PPI, brighter, better ergonomics), but the KTC is more versatile since it doubles as a standalone streaming device with Google TV and has a bigger screen for movies.

For context: I don't think I'm particularly picky about monitors – I've spent months working on standard-issue office monitors (sub-4K, nothing fancy) and was perfectly fine with them.

This is my first time buying an external monitor – would the difference in text quality between VA and IPS at this size actually be noticeable for everyday office work? Is the 32" worth the trade-offs?
