for example: $31k at release in early 2018

I have seen both good and bad reviews for this monitor, when it was first released they had sample to sample uniformity issues, I'm not sure of that's fixed now or not.

Hey Dan, how would you go about displaying HDR on that BenQ (or any HDR capable) display? This is the problem I'm trying to solve (monitoring HDR while editing Rec2020 in FCPX) and the Ultrastudio 4K Mini is a great price for HDR output, but this does NOT display HDR on the BenQ or, as far as I know, any standard computer monitor. The HDR capability of monitors like that are for playback from gaming consoles and other HDR playback devices (HDR10), but not editing.
So with that in mind, when you say that what you want is a
"true 10bit monitor with 100% coverage of the SRG/rec.709 color space", how do you mean to view that? If you're just connecting this display to your Mac normally over Thunderbolt or HDMI, I don't believe you're going to see anything other than a simulated HDR image, and not what you'd get on playback on, say, an HDR TV or an HDR smartphone.
If the objective is to edit HDR for consumption on consumer HDR displays, what's the pathway for editing? I can walk into Costco and get a pretty awesome looking, huge 4K HDR display for under a thousand bucks, but I don't think there's any way to play HDR content on there from the Final Cut (or any NLE) timeline. Right?
It's right about now that we realize the $6,000 Apple XDR display is actually a really good deal… yikes.
