Hello, is it better to play on a 4K TV of 164 with 60 Hz or on a G5 27?

You get better value for money with a TV than a monitor.

Connect it to both and figure out which one you like more. I choose 4k because more pixels. Best of both worlds would be 4k 120hz, TVs with this are not that expensive anymore.

Will I see a big difference between a 4k 60hz TV without technology and a 27 144hz with AMD freesync?

No one can answer this for you, it really just depends on the games you're playing and how sensitive you are to framerate. Some games have a 120fps or 40fps mode and will benefit from the higher refresh rate, others have an unstable framerate and will benefit from freesync. But for those that run at a locked 60fps the monitor is not going to offer any advantage.

Also worth considering the panel type and quality/max brightness of the HDR. That monitor is a VA LED panel with pretty poor HDR. You haven't mentioned the TV model, but there's a good chance the HDR is better than the monitor, and if it's an OLED the image quality and contrast will be much better as well.
