WoW!! $40K for this new monitor!!!
Hmm....wonder how this compares to the new Apple high end monitor that comes at $5K - $6K?
Cursory glance seems, that the Canon is 4K while the Apple is 6K.
The Canon seems about double brightness and contrast (if I'm reading it right).....
But, could someone that knows and uses these really HIGH end monitors give an educated comparison?
I'd be really curious to know what this $40K monitor has over the $6K monitor that makes it that much more valuable...?

We have four of the older Canon OLED models which have absolutely rock solid 10-bit HDR colour stability. What you see is what you get from the camera itself. If you shoot FULL RAW 10 bits per channel at up to 60 fps then this display is for you when you are doing your colour grading and final mastering. It is TRULY A STUNNING DISPLAY to see! If you are a HIGH END digital video editing, post production, animation and/or mastering house THIS and its Sony equivalent are the ones to get! The colours DO NOT DRIFT over time and you only have to do a colour correction/camera card synchronization/calibration maybe once a week! Contrast Ratio and dynamic range is WAY BEYOND what you get in any other type of monitor even the Eizos and they are fully Rec.2020 compliant.
They originally cost us $34,000 EACH so that's like $136,000 for a full 4-monitor production system!
.... HOWEVER ....
if you can spare a little extra time with your SpyderX Colour correction system, the below-described 27 inch UHDTV 4K display from Asus will more than enough handle ALL your editing, post production, animation, office and gaming needs in ONE single display at only $1000 U.S. (about 800 Euros). So for about $3000 you could have three of them for your editing/gaming pleasure!
DO REMEMBER to buy the 3rd party Colour Calibration system from SpyderX to ensure your camera, printer and display ALL MATCH perfectly. You need to do the 10 minutes or so colour calibration routine about every 3 to 5 days to ensure the display pixel values don't drift.
SypderX Elite Colour Calibration for Professionals:
This means when you pair the $370 SpyderX Elite colour calibration with THREE of the below monitors, you get 97% of the functionality of the $40000 Canon displays for 1/10th the price of just one of the Canons!
Asus ROG Swift PG27AQ
This 4K IPS display is one of the very best 4K monitors
Specifications

Resolution: 3840 x 2160
Refresh rate: 60Hz
Panel technology: IPS
Inputs: 1 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort
USB: 2 x USB 3.0
Reasons to buy
+G-Sync on a 4K IPS display!+10-bit colour accuracy
The ROG Swift PG27AQ has an IPS panel, 178-degree viewing angles, and also delivers G-Sync adaptive-sync technology, which reduces the screen tearing and micro-stutter that you often get in games.
G-Sync only goes up to 60Hz rather than the 144Hz seen on other non-4K displays, but it still looks great in games, with extremely fluid animation and minimal ghosting, thanks to a 4ms response time. The screen offers excellent contrast and good brightness, and it also uses a 10-bit panel for superb colour accuracy.
And like other ROG Swift displays, the on-screen menus are controlled with a small red joystick behind the monitor, letting you quickly flick through settings. If you're looking for a 4K monitor for both work and play, then this is among the very best on the market in 2019
