Might be a great monitor, but U$1k for a stand? U$200 for a VESA
adapter?

Lost in the noise for an actual video production company. Who won't buy
stands but will buy dual/triple/quad frame-style VESA mounts for their
two/three/four pro display workstations, plus $50k in software licenses
and $100k in storage fabric.

No idea who the $1k stand is for tbh, no-one who would buy it should be
buying this monitor at all. But those who are can clearly afford it.

I would hope such a company would be able to eliminate noise from their
productions.

I't;s a bit much for starting out in the field though. would assume most
Isuch productions companies would already have similar equipment already,
Ibut perhaps this new gear wil be a lot better that what they presently
Ihave, but they might find that it's more than money that they need to
Ithrow about.


No idea who the $1k stand is for tbh,

Just those that want or need a stand because their new display is not
compatible with their old stuff.

It'll be for those that tell their company they want to work at home. We
do that here any academic that wants to work at home we buy them a laptop,
sometimes a desktop for home and one for at work or they might use their
research grant to pay for it.

We are not talking about academic research that's on a months or years
projects, we are talking about people who've got to end the work before
5:00 PM.

no-one who would buy it should be
buying this monitor at all. But those who are can clearly afford it.

or whoever is actually paying for this product and I'd say it's rarely an
individual at these sorts of levels.

Just like buying a NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6 for just $16k

Obviously but I doubt an individual would by this generally speaking it
would be a company or paid for by a company same as the display in most
cases. But as said most companies would use other methodes such as vesa or
other wall mounting kits.

If there are few potential buyers, why make it cheap? You wont sell
more.

and who would that be and why would they have to end before 5pm ?

It seems you never worked in a company that has production deadlines. If
it's on air saturday morning, it's got to be finished friday 5pm or
you'll have to work late.

I wouldn't think that, but you do get a free teleconverter. It's easy to
lend or give out such a lens if your a photogrphic company or individual,
for 5mins or 5 months it's a bit more portable too. You could take it on
holiday with you to a remote island, not many would do that with a
computer display.

I can tell you that if you go on holiday, someone else is maybe going to
need it. So forget about that. Just like an airplane pilot going on
holiday with one of the company's 747s.

That goes for any product.

depends on the product.

in the case of the stand, it's not a stamped piece of metal. it has an
articulating pivoting counterbalanced arm that will only rotate when
the display has sufficient clearance, and is attached by rare earth
magnets for easy set up and teardown.

With Apple though profit is everything.

definitely not. apple does numerous things *without* profit being the
goal.

Do you know companies that last without making profits. Universities
make profits or aim to generate a surplus of income over expenditure
year on year. Even people need to make a profit with their work.

and who would that be and why would they have to end before 5pm ?

It seems you never worked in a company that has production deadlines.

Might not be deadlines for production but we need to have things ready
for the students to start their labs otherwose they can't do their labs.

But I doubt a monitor will make much differnce to deadlines or achieving them.

A 11 bit per color monitor will let you obtain a better 8 bit image at
the end. And this monitor is more or less dedicated to the new $50k
computer when you add all the graphics cards, RAM, hard drives...

If
it's on air saturday morning, it's got to be finished friday 5pm or
you'll have to work late.

Then you'd work late or imporve efficiency.

But people cost more money when they work late. And changing machines is
there to improve efficiency.

That doesn't happen, and you can't lend your 747 to a friend either.

So why, as you say, is it easy to lend or give out a $16k lens?
