Why?

Because for the first time ever, apple copied everyone else.

That's right. That display looks generic. Sure it has a snazzy little 'foot', but it's still common. 99% of LCD displays sold today have that same basic look, with the L shaped foot and the flat screen... heck I think sony even made monitors with the controls on the side like that.


Ok so apart for the fact that Apples are metal while evrybody elses are just silver painted plastic, there isn't really very much you can do with a flat rectangular shape that has to be highly ajustable. Ok so it looks the same as almost every flat pannel display out there (all the way from giant wall mount plasmas, down to desktop LCD's). Compaired to the rest of the market the old 'pinstripe' LCD's look bulky, the new designs at least have more ajustment and the quality of the finish and of the materials used makes them look more 'solid' than the rest.
