MARKET NOTE

US street-price snapshot for 2026-07-14; monitor pricing moves quickly, so the low/high bands matter more than MSRP. Honest tiers: $170–$300 buys excellent office or 1440p gaming hardware; $320–$550 is the value peak for calibrated creator, mini-LED HDR and 4K high-refresh models; $750–$950 is justified only when OLED’s per-pixel contrast/motion or a specialized professional feature is essential.
