I feel like a fish out of water - I understand the importance of having an external monitor, maybe even 2 monitors if you're on desktop, but...8K ? 32 inch? curved? 120hz ... wow I feel like I have absolute no problems sitting here with a 27 inch 60 hz monitor alongside my Macbook pro...
Higher refresh rate does make a noticeable difference, if you have 60hz and 120hz or higher side by side you notice it instantly from the mouse cursor movement and scrolling websites etc, it's just buttery in comparison. Definitely not a must, just nice to have.
I don't see the benefit of going higher than 1440p or 1600p though, any higher res just means I need to increase scaling otherwise things are too small to read comfortably for me.
It depends much on the type of work one is doing. I don't have 8k but I'd surely love to have one when I'm editing high resolution 48-bit TIFF files (≥1GB) which I do quite often.
Normally for other work 1920x1080 is more an adequate.
