That makes sense, stonemason. You answered your statement on this: 'big' studios. Big studios can afford to spend thousands per high-quality LCD (three or four per user depending on their part in production, even). Apple LCD displays are medium-quality and priced well. But I must agree with SamTherapy on the resolution issue. There is an upper limit on TFT/LCD which cannot be overcome except by buying a new TFT/LCD. And any resolutions lower than this are interpolated (i.e.: fuzzy). If I wanted to replace my Sony Trinitron 21" CRT @ 2048x1536 with a comparable TFT/LCD, say the Apple 30" LCD Display which does 2560x1600, that's a difference in the CRT cost ($700) and the LCD ($2500) of $1800 - nearly thrice the cost of the CRT! Believe me, this Apple Display is nicely priced compared to other LCDs of similar resolution ($4K to $6K and up, up, and away!).

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
