> Ridiculous Option: Apple Pro Display XDR
I'll admit, a monitor that costs more than my first car is beyond affordable for 99% of the population.
But saying that, many of the people reading this are pulling truly exotic salaries right now. After devoting untold hours to reaching the top of their profession.
Let's say you're a professional earning $300k plus in software.
You're often working 100% remote, using your monitor 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, just for work. Plus untold hours of HackerNews (strictly after 5pm of course).
I just find that's truly not an unlikely situation to be in.
Without reference to the technical merits of the Apple Display, I don't think dropping $5000 on a monitor is outlandish for any professional in the situation I've described.
My hairdresser for example has a $4000 pair of scissors. He uses the damn things every day, and he sharpens them twice a day.
Whilst it's not essential, taking pride and investing in the tools of your trade is not a thing to frown upon.
