I think about 50 production houses will purchase $50K to $500K at a time, while about 10 movie studios will purchase $1M-$10M per invoice.. every other year. So, about 60 customers is probably a fifth of the global market, and they'll get twice the hardware for their dollar.
Editing feature length movies and mastering color ain't like high fps gaming, boy. You're an idiot if you think this is for you, at best you're a garden-variety web surf/gaming/media center/webdev/appdev/commercial business consumer.
These things are for building Star Wars, Toy Story and Avatar for half the cost, while keeping accurate color across the production, not just at the last stage in a single critical and far more expensive bottleneck.
This is end to end parallelized color accuracy and mastering, building-in a process that tacks millions of dollars onto the end of major release films, for a mere ~$10K per workstation, giving more flexibility compared to owning a single highly proprietary $60K workstation.
They will buy these cost-cutter monitors for their interns? It is already established that the real 'pro' gear is priced much higher than this Apple stuff.

$5K for the display, $1K for the stand.
Some Apple supporters are going to be left without a leg to stand on.

How many will still purchase way overpriced craps from Apple?

You're comprehending it wrong.

I don't get it. Why would they use monitors to colour match instead of using the raw underlying colour values that the monitor merely renders?
