There is only one other monitor on the market with the pixel density and screen size equal to or greater than the Studio 27", eight year old panel or not.[0] If you want high PPI, right now, you get this, or you buy the 16:9, 60Hz 8K 32" Dell monitor and pray you can get the dual DP cables to work with your setup.

Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells the LG Ultrafine 5K [1], and no one knows if LG is even going to restock them.[2] So, you'll have to find one used, and you'll have to hope that LG continues to service this incredibly flaky series of monitors when you inevitably run into an issue.

On the flip side, if you don't care about the pixel density, you could have bought any of the low res gaming monitors, or 4k 28" monitors, or whatever other ultrawide, low PPI monstrosity the market has coughed up in the past eight years. They've been waiting this long for a reason.

You are stuck choosing between those modern features you listed and a >200ppi display. That is the state of the market right now. Until Apple solves this issue and charges you like $3,000 for the privilege later this year.[3]
