I used 1080p for 5 years with a 33 inch screen, it was very good.
For 4 years I have used a 27-29 inch screen at 2k, that's incredible. I now use a 34" wide angle screen at 2k, which I find even better, since I have a bit more width without much (or any?) extra height.
At this exact moment I am on a 34" ultrawide and it's too wide for me I have to turn my head too much.
Bottom line, you can get 27" 2k screens for very cheap now and it's a step up from the 1080p, but yeah, the 1920x1080 is fine.
