Well, you can get that.

There's the Huawei MateView. 4K, 3:2, IPS, 500 nits, about $800.

There's also countless cheaper 27-inch ones on Amazon, ranging from $240 to $700. Including an LG with 400 nits and IPS (and even 60W power delivery), for $480.

Which, like I said. The pricing on the LG Ultrafine and the Apple Studio Display is just way out of whack. Part of that has got to be lacking economies of scale, but I imagine the margin is still quite high.

(Yes, Apples does offer some niceties, like a webcam with Center Stage*, better charging, better integration, yadda yadda. But you do pay for it.)

*) which, over in Microsoft land, they want $800 for. Just the webcam.
