There is no argument, or you failed to articulate it anyway. I am not battling anyone's opinion, you ask for the cost of the monitor and that kind of 17" consumer monitor that you see in picture on the parent blog post cannot be bought new anymore, the only 15 and 17" screens on the market are POS tactiles screens, industrial ones with metal frames or portable ones.
I am happily separating the cost of monitor in the desktop world anyway as user don't tend to replace them at the same frequency as the compute unit. For example, my dad only bought 5 different monitors in 40 years.

How much does the monitor cost?
You can get a used 15" or 17" monitor for free or next to nothing.
That kind of breaks the argument, doesn't it? You can get an old pc for free or next to nothing also.
