High-end gaming monitors can go for about half the price see this benq monitor for example http://gaming.benq.com/gaming-monitor/xl2411z http://gaming.benq.com/

  Eh, 24 inches, no *-sync, 144hz refresh, 1080p, 1ms "grey-to-grey", and it's TN not IPS. More on the high-end is Acer Predator X34: [0] 34" cinema 21:9, g-sync, 100hz refresh, 1440p, and IPS (also full 100% sRGB coverage). This thing retails for ~$1300 and is sold-out almost everywhere.

    120hz+ is super important for pro gaming, much more than the other stats. 100hz is pretty good already though.

      If we're talking pro-gamers, they probably don't want a 34 21:9 cinema display either. While I haven't tried it, I'm guessing g-sync @ 100hz makes having a insane refresh rate unnecessary. But at $300-400, I'm guessing most progamers will go with the minimum necessary to get their frame rate optimal.

      Why is 100+hz so important?

        In reflex based games, given two otherwise equal setups with players having equal reflexes, the one who gets the stimulus first due to higher refresh rate will win. The standard 60 Hz means new data is sent every 17ms. With 144 Hz you cut it down to 7ms. With equal reflexes, the player who receives the stimulus 10ms earlier will execute the necessary actions 10ms earlier. In practice no two players are that equal, but it's still beneficial to accumulate every advantage you can.

  That's not really a high-end monitor. It's pretty average except for its refresh rate.
