That's a little unfair, considering the current 27" display retails for less than a third of the 30" model. The fact of the matter is that manufacturing large, high-resolution displays is expensive, and that's due to a number of factors: the limited market for high-end desktop displays, the 2-4x increase in subpixel failures as resolutions scale 2-4x, and Windows. Now that 4k tech is figured out, and Windows is no longer a complete failure at scaling to high pixel densities, expect the market to increase and prices to fall accordingly.
