What is Digg?135 Comments
- StealthGod, on 10/11/2007, -6/+306Ultra-thin AND Ultra-REFLECTIVE!
Maybe it's just the picture, but if my monitor had that much glare and reflection it would be fairly unusable. - robbh66, on 10/11/2007, -63/+177Engadget business model:

Marked spam. Link to the original content instead. - CircleFusion, on 10/11/2007, -2/+59Can I get one without all of the clear plastic around the outside?
I would really want a LCD monitor with a thin frame so multi-monitor setups would work better. - masonreloaded, on 10/11/2007, -18/+69@Robbh66 - ***** you and ***** everybody who shouts "spam" at every ***** article. 80% of the internet is simply links to other pages, thats HOW THE ***** INTERNET WORKS, and its how digg works. Engadget (like 90% of websites) contains stories that it thinks it's readers will be interested in, often with links to the original article or related articles. get over yourself you *****.

Dell uses the same LCD Panel as Apple. So to me Dell being Cheaper and with built in card reader is better than Apple. - Philodox, on 10/11/2007, -1/+44Thank you for your insight, oh noble one.
- Ramble, on 10/11/2007, -17/+55Dell monitors have always been better than Mac monitors.
- gharding, on 10/11/2007, -2/+37I think it looks tacky. Get rid of that giant plastic frame and just give me a slim monitor. Think of how annoying dual monitors with those panels would be. It looks like there'd be half a foot of space between them.

Um, and how does Digg work again??????????? - hellbent88, on 10/11/2007, -13/+40salivates...........I want one
- maxsunset, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26Dugg for NOT titling the article "COOLEST. MONITOR. EVAR." It's refreshing really.
- rebopper, on 10/11/2007, -5/+30The glare probably isn't that bad (no more than a standard CRT), the photographer just took the photo at a dumb angle; however, I do wonder if they will offer a reduced glare version.
- Po0py, on 10/11/2007, -3/+27I don't want to see my damn face in it. I want to see my code in it.
- BigFloppy, on 10/11/2007, -7/+30@ramble
Dell and Apple are using the same LG-Philips built LCD panels. - SomaSynth, on 10/11/2007, -8/+30Nobody informed me attaching an acrylic plate and some ridiculously ***** speakers to an LCD is the new cool. I'll make a note of it.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/11/2007, -0/+20You need to die.
- griz, on 10/11/2007, -3/+22What's with the crappy glaring frame?
- SickFinga, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21meh, looks like they just added a glass frame to a regular LCD
- neuropsychguy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21Great looking monitor, I just wish/hope there really won't be that much "border" around the monitor. Get rid of the speakers (although if you don't care about sound quality it can be nice to have built in speakers), make the border smaller, and it would be nearly perfect.
- Chicken, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13I bet a tech article on Digg will always have a comment that is in some way relevant to Apple.
- BobTurtle, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13You are so hard core man
- merdiesel, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Is that Harry Potter in the reflection?
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9do you do that with your honda too?
- simpleid, on 10/11/2007, -1/+102007WFP, IPS panel ;-)
You just never know if you're going to get an IPS panel until you get it and see. :-(
(and the banding issue's are fixed, I know. :-)
The two things (and only two) I like about DELL is their LCD's, and that minimalistic multimedia keyboard they make. - griz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Go digg that article then.
- BrokenWind, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8oh thank god, i was so stressed-out by my 2.5" thick dell monitor.
I can't wait until they're measured in nanometer thickness, nirvana! - mglmouser, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12Not so fast. The story is from Engadget. Might be a fake internal memo again.
- twobztwop, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Dell monitors are fantastic, especially if cost is a consideration.
As for this panel, remove the plexiglass and I'd be more impressed -- notice the width of the actual (black) bezel around the monitor. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks to be about 1mm. - MarkCiccone, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Reminds me of the screens from Children of Men
- BobTurtle, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9How typical... Apple is always playing catch-up with Dell
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6name one electronics company that doesn't put their logo on their products.
- MauiMac, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6
- bvnay, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Holy *****. Its nice.
- bmartin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'd scratch off the Kia logo if I owned one.

"The two things (and only two) I like about DELL is their LCD's, and that minimalistic multimedia keyboard they make."
haha... I, too, have a 2007WFP and that keyboard as the only Dell hardware I own. :-)
(though I opted for the non-multimedia version of the keyboard, since it costs half as much and I don't use multimedia keys anyway. And I got the speaker add-on for the monitor because it's less of a wire mess than a freestanding desk speaker system, and sounds nearly as good.) - retral, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I'll take one.. without the extra huge bezel & crappy speakers (or whatever those are) on the sides.
- waterdrop, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I wanted the Apple Cinema 20" Widescreen display, but when I found out the Dell 2005FPW used the exact same LG.Phillips LCD panel inside, I got that instead. Also at the time, the Apple was $800, and the Dell was $400. I got the Dell since it used the same LCD panel inside, and was half the price. Also it has DVI, VGA, S-Video, Composite, and a 4 port USB Hub. I'm pretty sure the Apple Cinema display had DVI only. Also the Dell does Picture-In-Picture and Picture-By-Picture. So yeah, it was no contest, I had to get the Dell over the Apple Cinema Display.
- orbit1979, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I agree that the "glass" cover extends too far to the right and left, but perhaps for now there is a reason for it. It has to start somewhere. I remember when a low resolution LCD with low contrast ratio with a 13' screen was a $1000+. But they get bigger, better and cheaper. Not to mention more stylish. I bought a 17' back in '05 for $500 it was a bargain back then. Just a few months ago I bought a thinner, 19' widescreen with higher contrast ratio and higher ms for $200.
Just give it time. - DreKor, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7i don't know about you, but i don't want to accidentally cut myself in half when i walk into the side of a nanometer-thick monitor
- Wyzard, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4@worxman02:
DisplayPort isn't "about" DRM. You're thinking of the fact that it supports something similar to HDCP (I don't think it's actually HDCP), but DVI already supports HDCP. The DRM capability is nothing new.
As I understand it, DisplayPort is meant to be a higher-bandwidth (allowing for higher resolutions) and simpler-to-implement (less electronics in the monitor, so they can be thinner) successor to DVI. - antiver, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Why don't they use the same monitors that they put into laptop monitors into free standing monitors?
I realize there's probably some extra hardware in laptops that's housed below the keyboard, but it can't be too hard of an engineering problem to move it somewhere else (in the base? in the video cable, brick style?)...
It'd be sweet to have a couple .5" monitors cleanly mounted to the wall behind my desk :) - GeneralKickass, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5***** I read "coolest monitor" as "cookie monster". I need to see my shrink again.
- samuelking, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4*you're
- orbit1979, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7"Oh and whats up with the display port stuff? I know its all about DRM and that *****, but do we really need another HD standerd(sic), including one that doesnt(sic) have support aboug(sic) graphics cards yet?"
What? - shawnanigans, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Not just to you. I think when it costs almost twice as much for the same size monitor made with the same panel and the cheaper one has about every connection imaginable and more USB ports then a pretty silver case can't save Apple (who hasn't updated their display in over a year)........
- po43292, on 10/11/2007, -6/+9Dell monitors are pretty much the only thing I will buy from them.

If that's what Engadget is, what do you think Digg is??? Your a hypocrite just like the great Al Sharpton! - Stelex, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It reminds me of a concept Apple iMac that Adam Benton did some time ago. http://www.silvermac.com/2006/new-imac-design/
- kurtu5, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Thank you. One reads comments, and reads, and somewhere deep in there are the gems.
LOL. No really, lol. -
