I currently use 3ea 27" 4K Monitors at about 36" on bride of studio desk. This is too wide and though I have studio monitors in front, I suspect I have some interference.
I want to push them back, another 2 feet. If I do, what size monitor would you recommend to use at about 4-5feet that would provide the same experience as the 27" at 3'?

For reference, at 5 feet distance the recommended TV screen size would be 50". Different aspect ratio obviously but using an actual TV monitor might be your best bet at that distance

+1 to Tbone81's suggestion, although if you're worried about about losing out on fine detail you could always supplement this with a small local monitor screen on a tilt/swivel stand that you can pull in front of you for detailed editing, and then push it back out of the way when you're only interested in the bigger picture.

I find even my 24" monitor a distraction and have a shortcut to a "blank" screen saver I am constantly activating as soon as I want to listen to something. A 50" screen in a studio setting would very unsettling for me personally. I know a very large amount of people do this know, I just don't know how they put up with that amount of artificial light intrusion! Fortunately, I'm good making music with a 24" screen, I wear glass so I need the screen to be 1m away for focus reasons and then with my speakers on stands behind the desk I get no audio interference. |

A 4K 27" monitor should be viewed at 2'. A 4K 50" would have the same effective pixel density at around 5' according to the online TV distance calculators.

I use a 50" curved 4k Samsung about 4 ft. back from my chair. I can't run it at 4k resolution though. Text and windows are too small. I have to lower the resolution until it looks like a computer monitor would at normal distance. Only downside is my TV has some HDMI latency, even on the gamer setting, compared to computer monitors. Once aware of it, can be dealt with.

Once aware of it, can be dealt with. Samsung TVs used to have a feature where you could rename the HDMI input to "PC" and it would change how it worked. I had a Samsung TV as a monitor and I tried it and it looked and felt much better. Unsure if the newer TVs can do this or not. |

 Dual 52" TV screens. NOT 4K or 8K (hate that kind of resolution...too much). 10' from my chair. Yes, looking up is sometimes a little bit of strain on the neck but also keeps me from being glued to the screen. |

Anyone know if it's better to use a big tv mounted on the front wall vs a smaller monitor closer to you, acoustics-wise?

The important thing is to make sure that whatever monitor screen you use, it's at least level with the front of your monitor speakers, or preferably behind them. Even a small screen in front of your speakers will result in acoustic reflections that mess with your stereo imaging.
