So just an update here and request for some help! I ended up grabbing a Dell Ultrasharp 27in 4k. Its 163ppi and I tested it as a 2nd display on my iMac prior to moving across to windows and I was able to tell line weight difference up to 0.18mm However, for some reason now that I am on VW on PC, lineweights do not show up until 0.35mm! Could this be an issue with the settings? WhenI zoom in and out it seems to display the thickness difference, however, once I move the cursor the line weights go back to all being the same. This is driving me nuts.

I'm also having this problem after switching to PC. However I tested my new Dell Ultrasharp 4k 163ppi monitor as a second display with my iMac prior to moving across to widows. I found that I could see line weight difference between 0.18~0.25. 5K retina clearly showed 0.18. For some reason now that I am running on PC, the 4K display is only showing liveweights from 0.35. Would somebody have any idea what's going on?

Hey Zoomer, thank you very much for the detailed response. I too looked at the Samsung Viewfinity S9 but here in Australia they are sold for the exact same price as the apple display which is over $2200AUD RRP. I've taken a look at it in person and not impressed with the build quality at all. It looks fantastic online but it turned out to be plastic everywhere and the hinges seem to be rather squeaky. Your information on the 4K display was very educational with regards to the issues faced when scaling as I was thinking about moving down to a 24in. I think the conclusion is to suck it up and stick to the 5K Studio display.

Thanks for the reply EFA. I considered the Luna but will certainly face issues when I am rendering with Enscape which forms a considerable part of my daily work. I recall using a cheaper 4k Monitor at my previous workplace which provided notably improved lineweight distinction from a 1080p set up but it was still adjusting 2 or 3 weights.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but hoping to get some of your input in 2023. Im coming off an 27in imac to a PC and looking for a high ppi monitor that can guarantee to show all line weights with precision, like the retina display achives. Alonce you get used to the superb crisp detailing of lines you simply cannot go back. I would rather not fork out $2000aud for a 218ppi monitor so is anybody able to confirm at what resolution/ppi do the standard line weights become fully distinguishable? Thank you

Hello. Please advise availability for the license. I am based in AU. Thank you.

I am based in Australia and it seems the perpetual license purchase option is no longer available already - what the hell is going on here? The distributor office is closed until the 6th of Jan but the license purchase cut off is the 1st of January. How am I meant to purchase prior to lapsing!
