yes there is.
Go for the 4k display, you will have a much cleaner display with the ability to get more windows on the screen.
the 1080p display will have 1920x1080 pixel resolution, on a 17"monitor this will be unpleasant to work with.
The other option will be 4k ie 3840x2160. In other words you get 4 times the HD screen to work with.
On a 17" monitor it means you will have crisp letters.
Not sure if you will be able to game at 4k resolution.
Best bet is to go into a shop and look at a 4K monitor vs a Full HD monitor to get an idea of what it would be like.
