Price vs. Cost & Space

Two views of the same 35-monitor dataset. Sticker price alone hides two things buyers get burned by: subscription-heavy units that cost far more over 5 years than they look, and cheap radar units that need a surprising amount of room depth. Click any point for that monitor's full page.

Price vs. 5-year true cost

Points above the diagonal cost meaningfully more than their sticker price once required memberships and sim software are counted — the further above, the bigger the gap.

Price vs. required room depth

Overhead and side-camera units cluster at low depth regardless of price; behind-the-ball radar units pay a "radar tax" in extra depth. Cheap and compact don't always go together.
