It looks like that newfangled silver motif we spotted a few days back on Dell's 2007WFP was indeed a sign of things to come, as both the 17-inch SE177FP and 19-inch SE197FP have been officially updated to sport a snazzy new silver casing. Thankfully sparing us the bizarre-looking silver / black mishmash design on the rear, these two still sport the same black backside with a new silver bezel and stand arm. Both units tout a 1,280 x 1,024 resolution, 8-millisecond response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness, VGA inputs, and VESA compatibility; the 17-incher also boasts a 500:1 contrast ratio while the larger of the two claims a 700:1 ratio, and both are available as we speak. As for prices, the SE197FP will demand $219, while the more diminutive sibling rings up at just $179.Read - Dell's 19-inch SE197FP LCD

Dell fails to correctly "Free Transform" wallpaper image onto the monitor screen... =(
The neck appears to be very cinema display-like
whats with the blatant apple desktop rip off.
What has apple got a patent on silver bezels now? FFS, do youself a favour fanboy and look at Dell's website and you'll see it's completely different. Plus I've always prefered the Dell monitors to apple's overpriced, underspeced pieces of crap.
Dell is totally Teh Cool®. They's got themselves a see-ment pond AND plastic sofa covers. I declare!
Go Dell Go. Even to a Mac loyalist, these look sharp. Thanks too for the CES updates; we geeks in DC are living vicariously through you. -Jill, http://livingwithgeeks.wordpress.com
Hey these aren't as, uh, sharp as the ultrasharps
I'm a Mac user that'll gladly take a decently designed display from anyone provided the price and specs are right.
It's looking like it's going to be the Samsung 244t though... after using a 20" iMac I'd never go for anything smaller. And the Cinema Displays are out because there's no input for Wii :)
easy chief, I didn't say anything about the bezels. don't get your panties all in a ruffel before you even finish reading a post. I said that the desktop is a rip off, which it is. I am sure it is a quality monitor, but it does rely on a likeness to an established look.
