Thanks for the clarification.
Many people I talk to, who are NOT in our "business", are notoriously
"outraged" by the idea of a monitor price anything higher than what the
computer cost them. $200 to $400 are considered "very good" for most people,
just look at what's on sale at Staples. Anything above that range is
considered preposterous. But I agree $25,000 for a 32" SONY BVM studio
display ain't cheap (keep buying those lottery tickets...). I remember when
I purchased my NEC 19u CRT monitors, many years ago, was it ever expensive!
And paying several thousands of the first Eizo CG21 was beyond "ludicrous",
for me. Dell, BenQ, ASUS, HP and the likes are considered relatively
inexpensive but I can see they long entered the high-end market with HP
being one of the first with its DreamColor (that I can remember). I don't
think I'd be ready to give BenQ $1500 for a monitor, even with the hood...
Again, after combing some of these monitors's User Guides, not a sliver of
stated chromaticities anywhere? Seems everyone is satisfied with using a
relative metric such as "X % of AdobeRGB" or some other "meaningful" gamut.
Even PCWorld or DPreview type of articles, completely silent. Why not, at
least, take advantage of the article to "educate" potential buyers about
what makes a monitor gamut? I suspect the guys (or girls) who write these
articles don't have a clue themselves...
Question: doesn't SONY offers smaller (cheaper) BVM monitors? I seem to
remember they did, maybe in a previous generation... And to what extent
wouldn't a "good" high-end monitor like a NEC or an Eizo not be comparable?
Side by side? I confess I never seen a SONY BVM "in person" (I don't go to
video shows), but I would tend to think it is "overpriced", I mean, compared
to a well-calibrated, well-characterized display? On the other hand, it is
true that professional studios who are wall-to-wall Avid users, for
example, like a local station I know, can't claim even the most basic color
management -- such an archaic system (?), if you want my opinion, no ICC
profiling of any kind, anywhere to be seen! --, creating the necessity for
monitors that are Rec709 or some other standard "out-of-the-box".

A 32in Sony BVM studio display at $25,000 street is my idea of not cheap.
So I'm being flippant.
What I mean by "commodities" is a product widely available and suitable to a
consumer's preferences are taste, rather than a product that satisfies a
specific industrial process which cost must be tolerated by that process.
Vague, I admit...
