MBP 15" display: 2880 x 1800 @ 220ppi
LG Ultrafine 27": 5120 x 2880 @ 218ppi

macOS by default will scale these high ppi displays (at least it does so for my 5K and laptop screen) so what you see does not actually look so small but it does look crisp. One of my best investments besides that 5K monitor was getting proper eyeglasses for working with the computer. I'm comfortably sitting back a few feet (if you wear reading glasses like me definitely ask your optometrist about proper eyeglasses for working at a computer).
Awesome, thanks so much. Looks like LG is the way to go. Also looks like Amazon has em for $450 at the moment, assuming this is the one you guys mean: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...l9fDSJ53YyoLpR
