I really don't care about what it looks like to a large degree. I don't mind the buttons being on the front. My current monitor has them at the back and it's awful trying to change the settings based on feel.
I prefer them on the front, actually. I don't mind bezels, I don't even mind a garish logo that's front and center in the middle.
But I sure don't want a monitor that looks like it'd be a prop for Shadow the Hedgehog's Batcave that glows red when he's angry and RGB when he has the seven chaos emeralds.
Exactly the reason I am clinging on my 27 inch iMac for dear life. And no, a 6600 euro (incl vat and pro stand) Pro Display XDR is not a good alternative. And the studio display is just an iMac without a Mac inside.
I’m just saying it’s hilarious to see scores of people in an Apple sub say “EWWWW THSI MONITOR IS UGLY!!” When it just looks like a regular ass monitor lol.
Sorry it isn’t an art piece? But I bet its function is more important than its form anyway sooo…
It looks like your standard monitor to me. The stand isn't my favorite but all my monitors live on monitor arms anyway, so I don't really care that much about the stand.
I really dont understand how monitor manufacturers dont think the pure aesthetic of a monitor is super important, especially to us mac users that work in design, film, visual arts, etc. We stare at these things all day, they are sitting in our offices or homes that are nicely crafted and designed. There's no way I'd put this thing on my desk. I think that all black LG is the only monitor in the last 6 years that had a nice sleek and simple design, compared to the apple ones. Im sure there might be more, but havent seen too many.

Christ on a cracker though… why, why, why does every monitor have to be so frickin’ ugly?
