Great write up mate covered some interesting points that most of us don't consider.

Personally 4k on a small sized screen is a waste of time I can barely see anything at such a high resolution and for stuff like coding etc 1080p or 2k is enough I think.

4k on a large TV is right and the Samsung 55" curved model I have has very little input lag great for the PS4 Pro but also doubles up as a second screen for my laptop (albeit at an unusable high resolution).

Great having all these high resolution panels but I think some common sense is required when choosing one for day to day use (I had a 4k laptop panel was not practical or comfortable).
