Can anyone explain why monitor and TV prices are so vastly different for the same size? Could you not substitute a small flat screen in place of a monitor and save a few hundred?

Do you mean in general or for these particular monitors?

I'm a bit curious why both the 24" and the 32" are priced over 1k, yet they are able to get the 28" down below that mark. That's not to say that I'm not incredibly excited to see how this ends up! I've been looking for a sub-1.5k 28" monitor with high resolution for a while, and though I love my Apple Thunderbolt Display I use at work, I am hesitant that if I buy one for myself, I'll be buying right before a refresh.…

WHY WHY WHY is this so CONFUSING? DELL! C'Mon man! The "24" that you mentioned actually seems to also be a 28" screen? "With the same remarkable, pin-point clarity, the Dell UltraSharp 24 Ultra HD Monitor, users can enjoy color consistency and precision from virtually any angle thanks to an ultra-wide viewing angle on a 28.3-inch screen. "

That is almost certainly a typo.

I'm more interested in the 24" model, although the press release goes a long way to convince me it's actually 28.3" display despite the name.

edit: the tech specs page convince me the name is not ridiculously misleading. Seriously interested of this one.

I'd bet it's panel type. The 32/24 may be IPS while the 28 may be IGZO.

I think the press release may be incorrect. The "Tech Specs" tab on the product page[1] says the diagonal for the 24 is 23.8 inches.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That is almost certainly a typo.

Even so, The difference between the high-end and entry-level models is the former are "Dell UltraSharp XX Ultra HD Monitor" and "Dell XX Ultra HD Monitor".

It doesn't have to be this way.
