OK, but the 30-inch ACD was introduced alongside the 20- and 23-inch. And Steve kinda new that this was the special premium thing.
The 20-inch was $1,299.
And in any case, if Apple only wants to do luxury displays? OK. Figure out a way to convince third parties to do non-luxury displays that make macOS look good. Or bring back subpixel rendering.
