Why 4k HDR monitors are so much expensive comprared to 4k HDR tv?

[SHREDDER]

I was in a shop to buy ink for my printer, and while i eas there i chwcked prices of 4K HDR tv that they have there for sale and i saw that a 49' 4k HDR tv costs only 550 euros. For same money you buy a 27'' o4 28'' 4k monitor without HDR. I was wondering why so much big difference in price? All 4k HDR monitors that are releaseed so far costs more than 1000 euros and the 144hz Gsync 4k HDR that are coming soon will cost more than 2000 euros. That not fair. I realy hope they fail in sales and sell less than 1000 units so monitor makers can understand that they cant sell 4k HDR monitor for so much higher price compared to 4k HDR TV.

4k HDR monitors are going to cost the same as a high end gaming pc

And, honestly, youll need to sell a kidney to even run at 4k at 100fps

So much BS. A monitor even 4K is no where near the cost of a high end Gaming PC. Not even half of it.
Besides who talks about running 4K at 100fps? Not that it going to be more easily in future beside the fact that most ppl don't replace the monitor befor 10 years... Mostly ppl stick with their monitor for far longer.

Depends. Regular 4k monitors are not expensive at all. But im sure fancy 4K HDR gaming monitors will be VERY expensive. Like for example the upcoming ASUS PG27UQ, 27inch, 4k, 144hz with HDR and g-sync. I plan to buy one, but i read some rumors saying it will cost >£2000. My top end gaming pc didnt cost anywhere near that much...

is a 4k HDR monitor worth the money are they that much better then a freesync or gsync 144 hz monitor? i know hdr has a option where it gives a level of darkness or something and when you enable it, it blows your mind how amazing it looks.

[tacoshy]

Andrius the high cost are neither because of 4K nor HDR. A bit is added through 144Hz and most because of G-Sync... A normal 60Hz monitor with HDR at 4K goes for around 500-600€...

HDR does not only come with 144Hz nor with G-Sync. And gaming monitor doesn't mean you need 144Hz nor G-Sync either. Many ppl have AMD cards that can't even use G-Sync.

Depends on the person.

Same I been reading the same rumors as well, and seeing how HDR just bring the cost of thing up a little, I can see this being a problem with Gsync as well, when compare to freesync, especially getting 144hz.

HDR has less to do with darkness but the advantage lies in the lighting. You can have a city at night for example where everywhere it is deep black but the light, star and the moon are actually glowing. Giving you much realistic color and lighting effects. Enough examples on the web.

HDR has nothing to do with 4K nor G-Sync nor 144Hz.
You can get HDR for lower resolution too. For 60Hz and 50Hz and don't need G-Sync at all as AMD FreeSync monitors cans have it too as well as every ordinary screen like a TV either.

The new monitors are going to be atleast 2000usd. Theyre 4k, hdr, gsync and 144hz

The same thing, but in 1440p, is around 1000usd. And its not even near 8.3 million pixels

[tacoshy]

again the new monitors costing 2,000USD do cost that much not because of HDR or 4K but ebcause of G-Sync and 144Hz. The technology to combine all 4 things is brand new and not 100% released yet.

If we talk about 4K + HDR (which we need when comparing to TV's as no TV has true 144Hz nor G-Sync) then we far below that. Then we are in a category of 500-600€...So 4K monitors + HDR does not need to be expensive.

500-600€ for 4K + HDR is no where close to the cost of High End PC's of 1500-2000€...

Are you intentionally forgetting 144hz?
