???

By 2006, LCDs were just finally getting around to not sucking so hard, after they replaced CRTs for very obvious stairway-safety reasons.

My memory of monitors since is that they keep getting larger and cheaper. Where have you ever spent 3x the price of the last monitor?

They've gotten cheaper and then expensive again. In recent years you have niggers paying $500 at a minimum for some bogus features like VRR, HDR, VRR 2.0 with HDR, full array local dimming, wide gamut version 774317, a few extra Hz, ultrawide + fixes to make it work, some other shit features that we forgot existed 5 months after shilling ended, etc. Shit even the marketing campaign of renaming LCD screens to "LED monitors" had everyone trashing their current trash and buying a new trash with LED backlight instead of CCFL.

>Larger and cheaper

The standard has been ~24" for like 10 years now, with lots of people moving to 27" recently (in the 16:9 market). Not that any of that makes a huge difference. Pixel density only became a thing (outside the sane 0.1%ers) recently too.

And to top this all off, not only does each generation have 10x more bugs, but each improvement necessarily trades something off. Like going to 120Hz/144Hz resulted in tons of horse-shit response times.
