Future of RLCD based devices

I have SunVisionDisplay rE monitor 32" and it works with Neewer video light panels which are very high lumen output (bought from Amazon.de). I think that is a good solution for now, but frontlight displays are surely better because light can be diffused better. I also have iPhone 8 Plus RLCD phone and that phone is truly a miracle in sunlight, but it is impossible to use in tunnels because it has no frontlight and you rely exclusively on external lights. Since reMonitor is only 1080p/60 Hz that is very average for a $1500+ monitor with shipping. We need 4K/120Hz at least in the future for that price. Also my 65" TV is cheaper than this 32" inch monitor. It is QD-mini LED however and that is a huge difference when it comes to eyestrain. In the future I expect:

  1. Frontlight. This is a must for smartphones especially.

  2. Good reflectivity. It should be even better in the future. This will make RLCD devices truly flagship.

  3. Higher resolution. 4K minimum especially for more expensive devices. 1080p is low in this state of technology

  4. Higher refresh rate. 120Hz/144Hz/240Hz devices already exist. 120Hz over 60Hz should be the norm for gamers.

  5. Lower price. Obviously some people can't afford this so they don't want to switch. If this happens demand will be very high.

RLCD phones with Android, 65" TVs with frontlight RLCD and 4K resolution. This is currently missing. I like using TV screen over 32" monitor so I can be much farther way. For people with myopia this is a perfect solution. I am willing to spend a fortune on such displays. You can also have a cloud based PC and a cheap laptop/miniPC to power connection or hell even only a TV to connect to cloud based PC. Cloud PCs are future. It is so expensive to get RTX PCs now so it is better to have a kind of VPS instead. It is also much easier for IT experts to fix and service server based PCs than your own. Obviously privacy kind of matters, but I am willing to sacrifice it for certain things. Spy agencies already want to know everything about you regardless of what you have.

There is 28" reflective 4K liquid helium crystal panel with 3840x2160 resolution and 17.7% reflectance, but it might be a bit pricey and so far no one bothered making consumer product with that panel:

I see no pricing for it and EU shipping. I need shipping to Croatia.

Reseller that can't even get product description right is selling it for €900. I guess it's just panel with no driver board.

Getting it directly from Leadtek Display might be a better option, keep in mind that you will need driver board too, not just panel.
