Starting with the newer 27-inch ViewFinity S9 5K Display, this monitor is available for $1,299.99, down from $1,599.99. This is a match of the all-time low price on the device, which we last tracked around Prime Day, and you'll find the same price on Amazon.

If that had this as the default price from the beginning, a lot more people would have been interested. The trouble is the people who were waiting for the Samsung S9 5K ended up just getting an Apple display when the saw the price was the same.

To be fair, the S9 includes an anti-clear coating and a fully-adjustable stand that are $700 for the Studio Display. It also offers both TB and (mini)DP inputs so it is easier to use with both a Mac and PC.

That's what I'm holding out for as long as it has respectable horsepower for gaming.
