5,999$ probably lmao.
Otherwise: that screen, more people than you think are tired of low contrast and light bleeding, lack of proper HDR.
It's time to focus on quality because guess what, no one gives a toss about 500Hz besides a handful and a lot of people want better screen quality !
OLED for instance has excellent response time in addition to being able to reach 200+Hz so not only it's amazing for HDR and contrast (albeit needs more SDR brightness) but very interesting for games too !
We have an OLED we love it. But it's not the end all be all. We have some sort of souped up LED as well (I didn't bother to get too much into that one it's a second TV) and in some cases the picture is just better. True, in most cases the OLED is better, but it simply can't match the brightness of the second TV and that plays out in odd ways with some content.
200hz+ is interesting but there is a catch. Can you actually push those frames? That's really just not taking place at 4k with all the bells and whistles. By the time that can be done everyone is going to be screaming about 8k micro LED.
I can see the relatively worsened image quality even on a 15+ inch screen.
Have you ever wondered why your 1000-dollar smartphone has no screen-door effect, while your 150-dollar PC screen has it or at least there is a discussion about it?
The solution is - increase the PPI, or make screens without gaps between the pixels.
That comes down to what people actually use. Keep in mind this forum has mostly extreme edge case users. Most people mostly use their smartphone for most things and their TV for streaming stuff. Maybe a tablet is tossed into that mix. Their computer is some 512, 16, i7 they got from work and they don't do anything but work on it. For those who have fancy screens they are "creatives" or some other small field and they get dual 4ks or some 1600p+ monster ultrawide at the office. So most people do not give a rats ass about the quality of their PC display. Those who have too for work, well work will pay through their teeth for it or if they are doing it as consulting it pays for itself so who cares the cost!
You may find it crazy, but for most people their phone is their computer!
