If it were price per pixel, the 4k monitor i drooled over a few pages ago would be outrageous if the same price-per-pixel made its way into phone land. The past 2 years have been the industry orgasm-ing over HDTVs and it's only now that it's starting to fade. The size of the 23" monitor i bought on black friday fits me JUST fine, despite desperately wanting 4k res.
But also, that Dell is for artists and extreme enthusiasts like Freelancer who spends $5,500 per computer. It supports adobe RGB and sRGB color ranges, so that's also a part of the reason for the increase in price. (note that the lag is 8ms, which may create a ghosting effect while gaming due to the enhanced color precision)
