Everything i'm going to say here is conjecture, but I don't believe that market pressures have allowed for much innovation in the high-quality PC monitor space. In the last 5-8 years we have seen the disappearance of small economical 4k high-quality monitors for example, because gamers are buying low-quality but fast refresh monitors on the high end, and pretty much everything else is a race to the bottom when it comes to cost - office computers. The price of 24" 4k and up non-gaming monitors (with decent backlights) has gone up, 27" is now the smallest you can expect to find, and there is no market for high-quality workstation monitors outside of Apple's products. See also the disappearance of 12-13" 4k laptops.
