We need to know your hardware as 4k will need a very good gpu like a 1080 ti for more modern games.

Also I would avoid using tv's for computer gaming obviously.

I wouldn't go above 27 inches for 1080p myself for a computer monitor as 1080p is prime for 24ish inch really and ultrawides may extend it a but but once you start getting this big you monitor will suffer on such a low resolution.

If this is for computer gaming stick to the normal 24 inch 1080p or 27 inch 1440p and their normal ultrawide comparisons as a default.

I am aware my pc isnt capable of running most modern games at 4k but I do watch a lot of movies.

The only reason I picked out a large monitor is because I have been using a 50 inch tv for the past year and also due to my poor eyesight

40 inches is too small to notice a difference with 4k anyway, and TVs aren't made for PC gaming.

GTX 1070 is fine for 2560x1080 but not really good enough for 4K, you would want GTX 1080 Ti for 4K.
29" ultrawide will look basicly same as 24" 1920x1080 when it comes to pixel density and 34" ultrawide basicly same as 27" 1920x1080, the pixel size may seem little large to some with 34" ultrawide and 27" 1080p but some people are fine with it.

My suggestion would be to go to a brick and mortar store and see what these look like for you.

It would be hard to suggest either for gaming for me but because of your issues larger monitors may be needed however make sure they are further away from where you sit as anything over 27 inches is hard to view the entire screen for a normal desk position.

34'' 2560x1080 monitor for the best performance and size. 40 inches is too big and 4k wont be that noticable on it. TV's arent suitible for PC gaming either so I'd personally go for the 34" one.
