For all of those that think these LCDs are of poor design, you have to see them in person, they are truely breath taking! I just got back from the South Coast Plaza Apple store and I was WAY impressed. The casings are a perfect match with the G5's!
The 20" LCD is about an inch thick while the 23" is slightly thicker. The left and right ends of the LCDs are white plastic; the birghtness and sleep buttons are identical to the touch sensitive buttons on the 3G iPod and are located on the right side. Imagine a matchbox, the outer case being aluminum, while the inner sliding part is white, that's what these monitors look like. Adjusting tilt of the screen is incredibly easy and takes only one finger like the curent iMac. The single leg doesn't look as horrible as in pictures, although it is a little large, but is the perfect place to store the keyboard when not in use. The quality compared to the older acyrlic LCDs in the store is amazing, these new LCDs are way brighter and sharper, especially when you compare them to the notebook displays! Just had to share how impressed I am by them! Any questions? |

Yeah the bastards even photograph better than the last ones. The increased brightness is much better.

I NEVER noticed that in any of the dozens of promo photos I have seen. I thought the displays were entirely clad in aluminium! I not sure what I think about that... stangmatt66, if you see what I wrote in another thread commenting that the displays are all aluminium, ignore it bouncy bouncy |

Hehehe... I saw them today, sexy things they are.
But did you notice that the back of the monitors were warm? It felt like a laptop... Anybody see any discounts on the older flat panels? |

Also note, in the above shot, how well these new screens maintain brightness and color sharpness when viewed from the side.

Tricksy Apple, trying to hide the design cues of the new iMac...

Just ordered mine yesterday (Wednesday) morning, and it shipped that afternoon, despite the "2-4 weeks" shipping time. Yay for overly conservative shipping estimates! *wipes drool* Can't wait. Personally, I think mine shipped fast because Messiahtosh's iPod was slow, and I did Apple's work for them: flaming him for being stupid. Thanks for being yourself, 'tosh!

As for the controls on the side, they look cool. Also, to the guy who took the photo, why do you have an iPod and iPod mini? m. :smokey: Killing me isn't going to help you. It isn't going to do me much good either, is it? — The Doctor |

Escher I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever. |

No wonder Steve came across as more than a little taken by them in the Keynote.
