Not really. Did you see a 2048x1536 LCD for $999? Nope. $1500 minimum. That's more than twice what I paid for my 21" CRT - several year ago!
For that slight increase in resolution and refresh, you pay that much! I can buy three Sony G520's currently at that cost (that's 6144x1536 depending upon how you spread the multi-monitor display). This monitor is already several years old - so the cost should be around $400 or less used. You can get cheaper 21" monitors that do the same, you know. I'm comparing what I have - a medium range CRT monitor. A Daewoo or something might be $200 for a 21" with these resolutions. I could run circles around you (literally - a circle of monitors) at the same cost as ONE LCD.
Nope, I don't see a 2048x1536 LCD for $750 mentioned there - do you?

foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
