Glossary
- Median
- The middle value of a sorted list. Half the monitors cost less than it and half cost more; one very expensive monitor doesn’t pull it up.
- Spec sheet score
- Score from 0 to 10 that the Radar calculates from image, smoothness, connections, ergonomics and recency. It doesn’t measure what the specs don’t show.

Frequently asked questions
What is the median price of a new monitor today?
In the 06/11/2026 catalog, the median price is $224, across 415 new monitors from trusted sellers. Half cost less than that and half cost more.
How much does each score point cost?
It depends on the range: about $123 among the lowest scores and about $148 among the highest. The math divides the difference in median price by the difference in median score between neighboring ranges.
Why the median and not the average?
Because a few very expensive monitors pull the average up and hide the price most people pay. The median shows the monitor in the middle.
How often does the overview change?
Every day, with each new collection. Each collection saves a snapshot of the price and score of each monitor, and the "What changed" section compares today’s with the previous one and, when available, with the one from about a week earlier.
