Plus, I'm holding off my final judgement 'til I see a better picture from a different angle. But from what I see here, it's ugly.

Not that Dell doesn't deserve some props for trying something new...]]>Jan 12th 2007 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 13th 2007 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 13th 2007 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/

The Glass-with-built-in-speaker thing is ugly and built in speakers are a bad idea. They never sound very good and for those people that actually want to use nice speakers, they are stuck with those monstrosities sticking off the side of their display.

I say send those designers back to the lab, back to school, or better yet, give them 10 minutes to pack their desks up and get out. ]]>Jan 12th 2007 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/vistalicious baby! i'll take one come Jan 30th

How anyone can seriously think this looks good is beyond me...]]>Jan 12th 2007 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/
I wonder if you can tilt it back and whip up a hot snack as well?

The heat output from the lcd backlights could be ramped up to to toast stuff.

The great thing, multimedia cooking lessons could be viewed at the same time.

Are you sure it's not another secret project?

Dell could be flying under the radar with this one.

Stealthing up on the kitchen appliance market.

Most of the models the goatee crowd whines about are business models.

Dell, this is ugly. You have to be kidding me if you think this is good design. It looks like a computer geek's amateurish case mod. I can't wait for the day that companies start recognizing the value of design...]]>Jan 12th 2007 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 13th 2007 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 12th 2007 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/
You got some really weird concept of "ugly" and of "beautiful". The displays Dell currently sells look totally ok. That display in the photo on the other hand looks terrible. So to sum up: I do not share your opinions on beauty. That alone would not be a problem, if you would not behave as if you were the ultimate reference on good design. But you do, and so it's an annoyance. I suppose you had too much contact with Apple, and Apple's general hipster hybris has rubbed off on you.

Please, in the future: Simply report on new products, and keep the comments (and other irrelevant news) to a minimum. Thanks.]]>Jan 13th 2007 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 13th 2007 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 13th 2007 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/aols-linux-based-smartscreen-media-device-flies-in-from-left/]]>Jan 13th 2007 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 13th 2007 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/
Seriously, if you were able to make a rational argument I can appreciate that. Then again you would be designing, not writing about tech gadgets.

Soviet design? You're kidding right? What part of Dell's monitors has anything to do with Soviet design?? Hell if you said "The Empire" or "Darth Vader" I could see it... At least point out what you don't like and explain what would be better, in your opinion. Otherwise people just need to surprise me, and maybe not post the same stupid crap.

God, just report on the new stuff, it's functionality, pro's and con's... Leave it up to people to decide if they like the way it looks. Seriously, some of you geeks on here all think your sooooo o o o o stylish, yeah, OK.

Oh yeah that new monitor, I don't like it. My personal taste leans towards something sleeker, attracting less attention. Lose the speakers, shave the glass down to about 2-3 times the width of that black border around the edge of the screen- that would be attractive. The less components bundled with a product the better webacm, mic, ok, but not speakers. Too many people have their own preference for sound, and it just makes it that much more expensive.]]>Jan 13th 2007 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 14th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 14th 2007 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/Jan 14th 2007 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/12/dell-finally-uses-its-designers-sheds-ugly-duckling-facade/just UUUUUGGGGGGLLLLLLLLYYYYYY ]]>May 19th 2007 8:26AM
