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.
Head turning is actually why I have a vertical monitor. With a 1440p next to a 1080, I'd have to turn my head a ton to see it all. Now with my 1080p vertical less movement. It also nice that webpages like being above 1000 pixels wide, so splitting two web pages on the vertical keeps them in their desktop version.
