It works out lower than a consumer 1920xRGBx1200 monitor, plus you don't 
need to bother with any colour filters which makes things a lot cheaper 
(3 fewer process steps on the panel, plus the backlight can be less 
powerful, so fewer LEDs/smaller CCFL).

Yep, that would need some specialist drivers not used in most consumer 
equipment = expensive!

Also it's probably guaranteed to some medical standards which are much 
stricter than consumer grade = very expensive.
