Isn't the canonical answer to these kinds of questions that you're missing the sales tax that would inevitably be added on to the US/Canada prices?

Although, having said that, checking Quebec[1] gives me CAD803 which is ~GBP443 -- ~GBP150 lower than Amazon's UK price of GBP599.99

A trend that appears to be synonymous across a lot of markets (electronics, fashion, etc)... just swap that '$' out for a '£' and call it job done!

Why? Because they can.

$649 in US (without sales tax)

$721 in Sweden (without VAT, http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=2596044)

$836 in UK (without VAT, http://pricespy.co.uk/product.php?p=2596044)

Just look at the difference in prices for laptops, those are nuts. I'm importing everything from the US, even if it's more expensive (and it never is), because I will not support this kind of price gouging.

I can't find it right now but I read about a study that concluded British people would chose x£ over x$. That's probably being exploited here.

But still, at £600 it's much less expensive than most other available 4K displays (that I've seen)

There's a Samsung 4k pre-order for £500 on Amazon, Overclockers etc.

You wouldn't happen to have a link or know the model number would you?

There's also a Dell UHD for 450

U28D590 - You can get it on eBay from Korea for £450 including VAT and customs duty.

Although probably better to buy in country for warranty reasons.

700 Euro at Redcoon.

Import tax + VAT.
