You can't blame them for charging so much because people voted with their wallets with the previous 4K FALD monitors that were $2000. Then people bought the ultrawide version for $2500, so why not charge $3500 for this? Obviously they aren't charging enough because people have no issue buying them. Maybe most of us aren't rich enough to be a high-end PC gamer anymore. I think high-end PC gaming these days is really for a tiny fraction of people with an absolute crap-ton of money to throw around. $3500 is approaching the price of a decent used car, so no one spending that much on a monitor cares about the price at all. They'd just as easily spend twice that. There's no other explanation for that price. Anyone who is price conscious in any way won't be spending $3500 on a 32" screen.

I haven't seen the trends in the financials, as it is really messed up in manufacturing right now anyway - but word around the campfire says; as people are not buying as many new cars and, 2nd hand cars have retained their values better.
Couple of points to consider:
1) Less miles during 2020-202x driven due to 'what is going on right now'.
2) Less need for a new car if current model has less miles on the 'clock.
3) Less demand for travel in cars
4) Increased demand in electric bicycles for commuters
5) Less expenditure on car fuel, and associated costs like repair, taxes, oil, servicing etc
6) People working from home (business costs switch for home working) - making more IT business purchases for home office/remote working.
So, we got a glut of cash in the system due to lowered cost of living, and we got more people needing to work from home - this means $5-10K of expenditure on so-ho, is perfectly reasonable, and, would be included in OPEX of any company right now.
In less than six months, the world goes into the second year of 'this', and this means the accounts department will be shifting the OPEX money around to fully accommodate a more 'fluid' working protocol. These protocols are to make sure the business is always able to meet a 100% operational efficiency.
Having a primary display of this value at home, with a new system, is completely a justifiable business expense - that can be written off in three years anyway.
Anyways, just my mind thinking this through on the stock market and trying to determine anything of value from the big companies on how they see the market unfolding, but I suspect that IT is to be a very strong market for many years to come...

To be fair I think monitors have been ripping people off for a few years now, it's just showing a lot more with how much cheaper and often better TV's can be, assuming you don't mind them a bit bigger
