Sony also makes dual-layer LCDs, they even introduced a new model in 2023: https://pro.sony/en_GB/products/broadcastpromonitors/bvm-hx3...

Good to know, but that spec sheet neatly demonstrates the efficiency challenges of dual-layer LCD. That's a 31" panel which burns up to 610 watts!
Also, it costs $25,000. But that might not be related to it being a dual-layer LCD, but rather other exacting tolerances for professional mastering use.
That's probably illegal to sell in the EU?
Those rules and regulations only apply to consumer products, business/professional products are exempt. This product is obviously not a consumer product.
It's a professional reference monitor not a TV so maybe there's an exception.
