5k (5120x2880 resolution) on 27" monitor makes difference for text. It looks crisp clear on 200 PPI, much better compared to 4k.

I still use HP Z27q bought in 2016. I wonder why the industry has so few offers for 27" 5120p monitors.

I'm guessing it's due to the influence of the TV market on the digital display industry. TV users don't care for >4k, which could make manufacturing >4k more difficult. It's only a guess, and not a very educated one either.
It's 2880p. the p is for progressive lines.
