The "$2000" monitor does not have a BOM anywhere near $2000. The biggest expense, the panel, is the same as the cheap TV, and the PCB isn't that different. You might be paying for calibration and hand-selected panels and likely for being able to sell to businesses as a purpose-built product-- it would look weird to see a TV on your graphic designer's desk next to a new Mac Pro. The cheapest sets-- the off-off-off brand ones-- are still not smart here. I suspect this is because they're being pitched by bottom-feeder pure-hardware firms-- they don't have the resources to do a software stack (and there's not really an off-the-shelf package with monetization to buy) or the connections to sell the data.
