Well, well... How times have changed!
I just have a look at monitor prices, and discovered that you can now
like, that's another matter...)
At the other end of the spectrum (you see what I did there?), we have:

Hopefully you realize that each of these costs probably less than a week's
salary of the person using it, right? :-)

A clever marketer (an oxymoron, I know) would pair it with an EKG monitor... for
the people who have a heart attack when they see the price.
Seriously, does anyone know if the device contains any technology which is
actually required by the device's purpose that justifies the cost rather than
this being a case of "We'll take the money because we can get it from people who
are used to throwing around other people's money" ?
Best Regards,

Well, it *does* have a higher resolution than anything else in the
entire product catalogue...

...there are people who use colour-calibrated monitors?

No. That's why they sell them :-P

I take it you didn't actually read the description, then.

Very high resolution, 10-bit grayscale, and (if in the USA) probably a third
of the cost is insurance for people who sue the maker of the monitor because
they got breast cancer and the radiologist didn't see it.

Even though you aren't /exactly/ asking for recommendations, I
nevertheless feel compelled to divulge some info about my current monitor:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/602277-REG/Acer_ET_WH3HP_002_H213H_bmid_21_5_Widescreen.html
It's got a native resolution of 1920x1080, cost me about $155, and
there's *not*one* pixel out of place. The viewing angle is very
satisfactory. Games with frame rates relying on vsync are actually very
smooth. There's no "GameBoy Ghosting" that I have seen. It's humongous
compared to my last monitor (Sony Multiscan CRT, 1152x1024, $400,
refurbished, circa 1999). Brand new, this Acer 213H cost me less $,
out-performs my last video peripheral, and doesn't make me feel like
I've got photonic daggers penetrating my eyes.
Of course, this is my first LCD monitor, so take everything I say with a
grain of sodium chloride. But I've seen other comparably-priced LCDs,
and I must say, this thing is awesome :)
Sam
