5K is a price outlier. LG Display are the only panel manufacturer, and they appeared in very few retail products. It just didn't become an industry standard size (8K has a better chance).

You can buy a 4K screen with the same pixel density for under 300USD, from a well-known brand.

You can buy four of those for less than that single 5K display. So I would suggest dual 4K.

Not even close.

Sub $300 4k displays are TN panels, or cheap IPS panels with sRGB color gamut, horrible viewing angles, poor calibration, contrast ratio, etc.

If you want to compare, compare it with something like Dell UP2718Q which costs a whopping $1500.

I think a better question is how many need the perfect monitor and how many could do with these "horrible" IPs panel.

I am not a graphic designer, I don't really need the best of the best. But what percentage of the market do??

There is a difference between not “needing” expensive hardware and saying the hardware is overpriced compared to the competition.

If you haven’t noticed, Apple doesn’t sell low end products. You’re not going to find a Mac with an “Intel® Pentium® Gold Processor G5400” with 4GB OF RAM for $349.

What Im saying is that this is a very niche market. Other companies are barely present here.

It's the same with Microsofts 40" Surface machines. If you let that define "The workstation" then no one has a real alternative to that.

The submitted article is about:

- An Apple product

- a 32 inch monitor with a 6K display for $6000

- that will probably be sold with a $5000 computer that is expandable to 1.5TB of RAM and a 28 core workstation class processor.

Which part of this discussion is not about a niche product?

On the other hand, the entire desktop market is a niche market. Most PCs being sold today are laptops.
