Reading this message on a 4k (3840x2160 UHD) monitor I bought ten (10) years ago for $250usd.
Still bemoaning the loss of the basically impossible (50"? I can't remember precisely) 4k TV we bought that same year for $800usd when every other 4k model that existed at the time was $3.3k and up.
It's black point was "when rendering a black frame the set 100% appears to be unpowered" and the whitepoint was "congratulations, this is what it looks like to stare into baseball stadium floodlights". We kept it at 10% brightness as a matter of course and still playing arbitrary content obviated the need for any other form of lighting in our living room and dining room combined at night.
It was too pure for this world and got destroyed by one of the kids throwing something about in the living room. :(
