Regular consumers probably don't buy these displays in bulk, when you can get very nice displays for less than half the price that are 98% the same on specs. So targeting checkbox-compliance for places like hospital systems is probably an easy win to generating / keeping some long term contracts.

I don't think you can get a DICOM-certified display at 5K and 27" for half the price. Probably like $1k less but that's it - and if you're a radiologist making $300k+ you're not going to want to cheap out on a display.

  No I'm saying regular consumers don't care about DICOM certification. They care about the other 98% of the specs, and can find a suitable alternative.

  If you're a radiologist making $300k+ you're going to want to use certified displays so that you don't get sued for using non-approved devices for diagnostic use, and that's going to cost you maybe $6k for a 21" monitor. https://www.monitors.com/products/jvc-cl-s500-rn?variant=42733194051673 https://www.monitors.com/products/jvc-cl-s500-rn?variant=427... $3300 for a 27" display is ridiculous in comparison. (Acknowledging that the link I provided is for a pair of monitors, but also those monitors are half price because they're refurbished)

> you can get very nice displays for less than half the price that are 98% the same on specs. Can you recommend any displays with PPI and brightness equivalent to the studio display, with 120Hz+ refresh rates? I was waiting for this announcement to buy a studio display because I thought they might bring 120Hz to the base model, but $3300 is a lot to spend on a single display. I have an original studio display and a high refresh rate 4K OLED monitor, and they are both compromises unfortunately.

  The price point is super painful. 2k would have been bad enough but I would have considered it. It’s a no go at $3,300 for me.

I haven't found a glossy competitor, or even one with the same HDR spec, but this is the closest I could find so far.
