Can someone explain why PC monitors are so expensive? For that price, you could get a 65" 4K OLED TV. It wouldn't have GSync, but next year's model will have the TV equivalent (HDMI 2.1), and the picture quality will be vastly superior.

I use an ultrawide on my PC which is a great aspect ratio, but the actual quality of the screen is dismal. It's low resolution (3440x1440), SDR, has no local dimming, has insane amounts of IPS light bleed, is incredibly dim (300nits), the black levels are utterly laughable, and it has tons of horrible LCD afterblur and smearing in motion.  It's a Dell and cost around £600 on sale (I believe the normal price was around £800). I've been looking for something better for a while, but there just isn't anything.

There was a time when PC monitors put TVs to shame. Those days are long, long gone. PC monitors are a joke.

The G-Sync module is this monitor alone is said to cost around $700 and the fact it has a FALD backlight and a 144hz @ 4K it all adds up.

The price is still insane i would never pay this but some people will just to have the latest and greatest.

I'm assuming this uses one of those low glow IPS panels?

£1,799 sounds like a bargain when you have tiny iPhones selling for £1,000 lol

The price we pay as an early adopter. Embrace it or steer clear of it.

So true. I have a high end PC but i feel like i cant really take advantage of it properly unless i hook it up to my TV. Most monitors are average or way too expensive.

The price is just ridiculous. I have just put together a new PC, reasonably high end but I didn't update the graphics card (I still have my NVidia 970), as I only have a 24" 1900x1200 HP monitor. I thought, wrongly, I would be able to find a widescreen, 32", HDR monitor at a reasonable refresh rate. So its really not worth updating the graphics card if I can't do the monitor. I did hear AOC are getting close with their Agon AG353UCG, but its not out until later this year and I still haven't seen a price.
