Dell has been flaunting a sleek and sexy concept LCD monitor for some time now, but it looks like CES will be when Dell finally says it’s available to buy, as its specs have been leaked.

Am I missing something or from the last shot does it not just look like a regular monitor with a piece of glass strapped to the front and a funky stand?

Atomic · 3rd Jan 2008, 12:13

I'd bet it's gonna end up on the Executives/Directors Desks...

Skill3d · 3rd Jan 2008, 12:20

hell i'll just mod that glass panel myself in a cheaper lcd...

Bauul · 3rd Jan 2008, 12:21

One black monitor, plus one pane of glass, plus some super glue.... voila, result!

Maybe it looks better in the flesh.

Looks more like a status symbol than anything.

thats exactly what i throught when i first saw it. pretty expensive for a monitor with a sheet of glass glued to it.

That looks like a pretty hideous attempt at minimalist design.

DougEdey · 3rd Jan 2008, 13:49

IIRC it's got display port, touch controls and the usual stuff. It'd be nice if they made it without inbuilt speakers.

Firehed · 3rd Jan 2008, 13:54

$1199 for a 22" screen? I think not. Even Apple doesn't have the nerve to overcharge by that much. Not to mention the complete impracticality for dual-display systems.

naokaji · 3rd Jan 2008, 13:54

at that price it better come with led backlight and be guaranteed TN Panel free.....

lepre · 3rd Jan 2008, 14:16

agree with the standard monitor with piece of glass comments above

chrisb2e9 · 3rd Jan 2008, 14:56

it doesn't even look nice, the monitor could at least have some curves on it, instead of being just a box. and the glass instead of having corners could be rounded.
I would be tempted to take the stand off, dig out the wall beind my desk and mount it so that the monitor is in the wall and the glass is flush with the wall. that might not look so bad.
anyone with too much money in their pocket want to give that a try?

keir · 3rd Jan 2008, 15:08

Looks nice, but viewing it may be hard in the light.

Tibby · 3rd Jan 2008, 15:15

Umm, I quite like it.....

But I agree it is overpriced to hell.

who would buy a 22" TFT for 1000£?
i mean you can get 2x 24" TFT's from dell for less.. linky

Tomm · 3rd Jan 2008, 17:15

Madness. It doesn't even look nice IMO.

Otto69 · 3rd Jan 2008, 17:35

But it's "“premium grade” 4mm ultra-clear tempered glass"!!
