If this is more than 180 dollars it's not going to sell many units.

A monitor able to show a black background with teal code ... woah !

I don't know that I really care much about the "coding" features of the monitors. But, anything to have more 16:10 monitor options is nice to see. And supports daisy chain is supper helpful for multi-monitor setups. We've been using Dell for many years as it's been one of the only option for 16:10 monitors with daisy chain. These usually cost > $300. So if these are less than that, I could definitely see these as an option. Assuming the 28" 4K+ is also 16:10, that would be the only option for something like that. I'm going to keep an eye on these.

I'm disappointed LG Dualup didn't catch on. That was the ultimate monitor for productivity.
It had a 16:18 2560x2880 panel.
You didn't have to worry about text looking weird in windows due to pixel orientation.
