Priced at $898 (that's $799 for the display and $99 for the stand), it's considerably cheaper than the $1,599 Apple Studio Display (fave.co/3E5nXK4).
It's easy to find a 27-inch, 4K display that's cheaper than the Studio Display, but they are not usually on par with Apple's quality. The Spectrum One, however, comes very close-so close that for a lot of people, it's a viable alternative to the Studio Display. As you might expect, a few compromises are made, but you also get a few features that you either can't find or have to pay extra for in the Studio Display.
If you are thinking of buying the Spectrum One, you should know about Dough's history. It used to be Eve, but it developed a bad reputation due to problematic products and customer service. I can't speak to the company's current service record, but the switch to Dough (fave.co/3Py3mtw) involves efforts to provide better service and products to reestablish itself and clean up its image.
