Displays Beautiful monitors

Most of the monitors out there are "function" over form, lets be honest. The GF just got a new Mac Mini for under £400 w/8GB ram (Apple pricing mistake in Taiwan hahaha).

Apart from the Apple Cinema Display which is silly money (28000NT = shitacularly expensive in TW) I'm not entirely sure what there is? Anyone come across anything nice on their internet travels?

TIA!

 

I quite like the look of the ASUS MS236H, no idea if its any good as a monitor though.

 

Wow that looks fantastic.

This looks shmexy

Perhaps a bit more affordable

wow that really is shmexy, would look amazing on my glass desk

 

i like the looks of this sony


and this asus

if it was 1920x1080 i would have bought it so good looking

 

that silver thing on the back of the asus is a sub woofer

 

Aww.. I thought it was a mini jet engine. Just for the fact that you can proclaim you have one, on your monitor.

 

There has been a lot of interest in monitors recently (and I will soon be in the market!), any chance bit net could do a round up?

 

would be great until you turned it on and the monitor smashed into a load bearing wall, literally bringing down the house

 

same still on a 17" monitor

i want a really good looking monitor but still with great screen quality

 

On an 860 i7? :O

 

only a 8800gt

but am getting 460GTX which makes my rig even more point less

will make sure i get a new monitor for christmas

only 5 months and 1 day to go yay

 

get the monitor, then the 460? seems more logical

 

i will get them at the same time

 

I wouldn't consider most monitors to be "function over form"

I have a pair of big Asus LCDs. Both of them have a glossy black bezel and a couple of buttons in the bottom right corner. That seems to be pretty much the standard layout.

IMO, what makes a bigger difference is the stand. Buy a monitor with a good stand, or get a good VESA stand for it.

Most LCDs I've owned have had very basic stands - no rotation (turning left to right, or switching portrait to landscale), and no height adjustment, just very basic tilt adjustment.

We have Dell 22" screens at work. They have portrait/landscape rotation. They have left/right rotation. They adjust up and down, and still tilt.

Most monitors have a pretty similar bezel (black, sometimes flat and sometimes glossy, with silver accents). Get a stand that looks nice and is ergonomic, that's a much better improvement.

 

The trouble with a nice stand is that they often cost about half the amount of a monitor

Saying that, I can whole-heartedly recommend the Ergotron LX

 

I picked up a pair of basic desk-clamped arms, and it is so much better than the stands the monitor came with. Only paid about $20 each. They're essentially a foot long metal post that clamps to the back edge of your desk, and then there are two horizontal arms coming from it, so you can do all sorts of adjustments.

 

I dont know about you... but i just love Samsung's Tv's, they are of great quality image Plus the great looks of the thing (I love them since i first saw they were the first to make those hide in speakers)

I use an 26'' Samsung LCD on my gaming Rig... again... Just love them

 

26'' Samsung LCD? that's a nice monitor, but now i use asus monitor and feel rather good.

 

I really like the looks of my Dell U2410, granted I've seen better looking monitors and I've seen much worst. Plus I really like the touch sensitive buttons.
