No it isn't. That's just the framing. Yes, reference monitors are expensive. It's not a reference monitor. A reference monitor is a very specialized piece of equipment that fits into infrastructure that you may find at a broadcasting studio:

It's not necessarily the panel itself that makes them so pricey (though OLED vs. LCD does make a difference). Rather, it's the fact that they're niche products.

- threeseed 7y agoCan you clarify what makes it not a reference monitor ? Because a reference monitor is surely not defined based on it being niche or whether you find it in a studio or not.
