Because 4K wasn't a new standard: it first came out 2001, and was in the
consumer market by 2013.  So by 2021, 4K displays were pretty
commonplace (even Apple had had them in iMacs for 7 years) and 'gamer'
ones had already dropped to just $500 ('regular' ones were even less):

I paid $200 for mine.  It's two years old.  It was an impulse buy when
my old monitor was dying.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
