This is loosely based on a real-life scenario; I've just changed the scenario a bit.

(Apologies in advance for the American orientation.)

Let's say you walked up to an Apple Store and outside the door, someone came over to you and said, "I have 10 nice new $100 notes for you to have. The only 'catch' is that you have to spend it in this Apple Store, and you can only get something they have that's in stock."

What do you do? Do you
  1. Buy the closest thing to $1,000 so you don't have to pay any money out of your own pocket?
  2. Buy a super expensive, multi-thousand dollar Mac and pay the difference because you'll never see that kind of 'free money' discount again?
  3. Somewhere in the middle - you buy what you need most, and if it's over $1,000 you'll need to make up the rest with a credit card, but you're OK with that?
Hmmmm I think I would go with a studio display. I would never spend $1500 on it myself but with a $1000 already towards it $500 out of pocket is not bad at all

That’s true, but with a 30” ACD (and a 30” Dell at work) and a 34” LG Ultrawide, I’m pretty used to 30”-or-higher monitors at this point. If only there was a 30” or 32” Studio Display … sigh.
