To all those who've been using 27" 1440p displays, How far do you sit from your monitor? I ask because my 22"1080p monitor has been acting up and i've to replace it soon . I am torn between 24" 1080p and 27" 1440p . The problem is, i sit just at an arms length from my monitor and wonder if i will regret buying anything bigger than 24.

32 is great and works well at arms length for me too. Now 27 looks small to me. 42 seems impractical at same distance so limit is somewhere in between.

27 1440p - will be fine and good upgrade from 1080p 21. 24 1080p has lower ppi. acer KV v2 is nice.

Don't usually see people buying a 22" 1080p but it has a ppi of 100.13 while 27" 1440p has a ppi of 108.79
The 27" 1440p will be sharper than the 22" 1080p at any reasonable distance given the higher ppi. Arms length will be fine but too far and the UI & text might be too small.

Things you should consider when going to 1440p though is the increased performance cost of games, UI being sharper but smaller and finally, if you watch a lot of movies/shows on the monitor it won't look as sharp given that all movies and shows release in 1080p or 4k, both of which do not divided neatly into 1440p. (colors and contrast could be better on the new monitor so the overall image quality might still be a net positive depending on your current display)

I got used to the slightly blurrier movies after a week or so but comparing them side by side (old 24" 1080p to 27" 1440p) the 1080p is much sharper. 4k will probably get the 1440p much closer given the larger screen size but I didn't care enough to test it.

27" 1440p in my opinion is the best display experience ever. Take it from someone like me who has tried 18" to 32" monitors. Even if you do end up thinking its large you won't regret having 1440p res crisp display in front of you more so specially since you sit closer.
BTW I use acer vg271U M3 that I bought 2 months ago for 16k INR.

p.s we all sit closer to the display than we should yet we use bigger displays so don't think too much.
