Is there a monitor with high PPI?

You want a 32” (or smaller) 6K monitor, a 27” (or smaller) 5K monitor, or a 24” (or smaller) 4K monitor to get Retina-level PPI. I have the Dell 3224KB, the ViewSonic VP2788-5K, and the espresso 17. Having three Retina-level displays is fantastic.

Appple Studio Display owners, is it really worth that high price?

Not exactly a true statement. There’s BenQ, ASUS, and ViewSonic 5k monitors available. Do they have the same build quality as the ASD? No, not exactly. Are they cheaper? Absolutely, albeit the BenQ with its tariff increase approaches the price point of the base ASD. Do they offer the same 5k 218 PPI

4k 27 feels too small. Would 5k 27 feel too small as well?

I have a viewSonic 5k 27" and it's way clearer than what you're seeing 4k. I looked at 4k displays but was so disappointed in the visual experience. 5k displays are pricey.

Put your monitor in Rec 709 mode using either the monitor's OSD or ViewSonic's ColorPro Display manager. Make sure that you go into your Mac Settings under Displays — choose your monitor and set the colour profile to VP2788-5K_XXXXXXXXX_rec709.icc.That way your monitor and macOS have a matching colour

Best alternative to the Studio Display?

I wanted Retina-level resolution on my displays, but can’t afford multiple Apple displays, so I have a Dell U3234KB (32” 6K), a ViewSonic VP2788-5K (27” 5K), and an espresso 17 Pro (17” 4K), and I am very happy with them.
