    Do monitors keep a stable amount of features from one generation to the next? I mean the only real reason to upgrade a monitor is for new features, not because it has incrementally improved on the features it already offered, or size maybe. What would be the basis for calling something a “porkchop” vs a “lizard milkshake”

    I guess you could have like 3 tiers of features, going from Cheapest to most Expensive (i.e, lower end is 60hz, higher end 120+hz) and then each generation you know which monitor is “better”

      Yeah it’s probably more like the monitors keep the same target demographic (business vs gamers) and major features (27" ips vs 32" OLED) but basically every other spec changes whenever new incrementally better panels come out. The TV industry tends to deal with this by tacking a year on the SKU. But they also have fewer SKUs generally.
