That seems incredibly overpriced unless you need absolute color reproduction or some other specialty.

My home one is more than that. It's a 5k ultrawide. Screen real estate is everything for me.
It isn’t about color, it’s about resolution. My LG ultra fine 5k monitor is amazing. Will never go back to cheap monitors again. It pairs perfectly with the 5k iMac Pro.
Dell 24" 4k resolution monitor is $350. You can get 3 of those.

24" at 4k is difficult to read. Larger screen real estate really helps those of us who have already spent too much of our lives staring at screens.
That's a different shape and size than a single 30" panel.
I can buy two 27-inch 2560x1440 Lenovo monitors for 580-680 euro. So you can definitely get resolution (not necessarily pixel density) for pretty cheap.
You can get a 50 inch 4k TV for a few hundred bucks.
