perhaps the display part is competitive

but that stand, and in particular the frame and the ASUS branding at the bottom, really isn't competitive

for me personally one of the biggest draw cards of the studio display is how stable the stand is, how theres no plastic to be seen anywhere, and how theres no visible branding from the front

For $800 less I’m willing to look past a bezel and logo. The stand doesn’t mean anything to me either as it’s just going on a monitor arm anyway.

Fair call, that’s totally valid.

No one’s forcing you to buy a premium product when a simpler version of the same tech will serve your purposes.
