General rule of thumb.

If display is <50 inches then 4K is an absolute WASTE.  If it's >50 inches then it will be great.

This is not accurate either. 

It is to my eyes.  LOL!!!!!

Plus this is the general rule of thumb for Best Buys and other stores that sell tvs around Ontario.  Is it true?  Hell if I know but I can see what they are getting it from.

TVs you are likely to be sitting at a distance. The distance you are from the screen makes a massive difference. you should know this from using VR. 
If you are gaming or using applications then you are likely sitting much closer. It is very clear difference on my 32inch 4k vs 1080. I think in movies where you sit further away & edges are softer it is harder to tell but with games & apps where you have aliasing harder edges, sharper details & contrasting textures its very different.  

I would say less than 30 with a pc monitor is a bit of a waste although i never try a 27 4k. 

Also it depends on the persons eyeballs as well.  There is no debating that at least.  ;)

I had a 40" 4K TV as a monitor for like a year. I was sitting close, but you could definitely see the resolution quality. It looked very similar to the pixel density on a 27" 1440p, just bigger. I don't know where the cut-off is, and it may be different for different people. IMO 27" 4K is probably a waste but maybe 32" would be noticeable. 40" was.

I might just consider a 55" 4K television now. With the new Geforce cards coming out, it will allow me to max things out should I want to play 2D games.. I've stuck with a 1080p monitor because I can max things out with my Geforce 1080 and this was something I waited many years to do with games.. 

I've been tempted to get an LG Oled television, but I find the picture looks crap to my eyes.

I recently got a Samsung 55" 4K TV (Q7F) as a monitor and I love it. It's kind of extreme, but ends up being really good for gaming (such as for PS4 or 2D PC gaming) or movie watching. On that rig I have RX Vega 64 Crossfire, but multi-GPU can be a hassle (though it's great when it works). If the rumors on new Nvidia card performance are true, the new Titan could definitely power mostly all current games at 4K with no problem.

Personally, I think 55" is maybe too big, I could see something between 40-50" being more practical for desktop usage. The LG OLEDs look good, but I was worried about burn-in, especially using it as a monitor. The Samsung QLED line honestly looked as good or better than LG to me, even though I know OLED does have some technical advantages. Definitely go to the store and check out Samsung QLED, they are nice.

I'm due for a telly upgrade. I bought my 1080p 50" telly just before the 2014 World Cup so I've had it just over 4 years.

I might wait another year then get myself a 4K 55" Noname brand supermarket telly. But then I'm also going to want a Yaw VR motion simulator and a CV2 next year too.

iTunes? Meh...you're better off using iTorrents and doing it all for free lol :p :D
