can't believe i'm typing this... 'attractive' Dell crystal display!

It looks too interesting.

I want what's ON My screen to look interesting, not the screen itself.

Dell must be desperate.

But...it sure beats how most of their hardware stuff looks. I'll give 'em that.

looks like a bitch to keep clean

Reminds me of the Sony XBR TVs -- 3 extra inches of stuff all around just for "looks"...

[jdc]

although not ground breaking, their 27" is really nice looking

glass base...

$1200 for a 22 inch, 1680 x 1050 display?

OUCH!

Makes that piece of plexiglass worth its weight in gold.

Dell must be desperate.

EVERYbody is desperate. Style is about the thing looking as good off as it does on.

Every manufacturer adopts some kind of style to that end, except maybe vendors of milspec.

I don't like the tripod.

It's probably no harder to keep clean than any other monitor. It will just be easier to spot the dirt. Wipe it off once in a while and nobody will get hurt.

And I like the Sony Bravia line. The clear acrylic around the edge is a styling cue taken from picture frames. Looks good to me. But then I don't mind things looking as good in from as they do in function.
