I am certainly no expert but I truly cannot understand how they arrive at the $4000 price point, when the 16" larger tv is almost a quarter of that price. Is it that difficult to manufacture medium size oled displays?

I believe these are RGB subpixel color grading monitors? That's what you are paying for

Makes sense, or else the price would be pretty ridiculous.

Yeah but something like the Pro Display XDR is expensive because of the dimming zones in relation to the very high peak brightness. This Oled Pro tops out at a whopping 250 nits in sdr and less than 600 nits in hdr, so it's not even a true hdr monitor. I don't doubt that it looks gorgeous but I just cant understand the price.
