It's no surprise that many buyers of high-end Macs end up buying a non-Apple monitor instead. Hilarious reviews were written about it on Amazon, and even competitors like MSI took their turn at mocking the steep price of Apple's best monitor.

Nobody can explain it better than the guy behind the code.
