That base is ugly. Totally ruins the whole idea.

VGA? Seriously? Can I get a DP anyone??? Sigh...

 

[memadmax]

meh, you can go only so thin with these things before you render them unusable to do being unable to adjust the position/tilt of these things without breaking them.........

 

[kastraelie]

Yeah the base defeats the whole purpose....what they COULD do is make the base attach to the monitor with a single cable or wirelessly. That way you could mount it to a wall then plug your stuff in 4 feet away in the cabinet.

Its the base that makes this idea possible. There are components in that base, components that are usually on the back of the monitor, making it fatter.

QQ More? The monitor is beautiful, and full LED back lit...at a reasonable price... I want one!!!

Nice, I like a really thin monitor since my desk is almost in the middle of my room.

Now, if only more companies would produce displays with thin bezels, either in addition to, or instead of putting all of their efforts into depth...

Seems so.. Looks like i wont be able to buy a good monitor anymore. Though HP and Dell both have nice 30" ones. I guess if i want a decent resolution ill have to get 3 monitors :/

I thought 1" was thin enough. How about Display Port, higher resolution, & uniform color top to bottom instead of just making things thinner. I actually want improvements that actually improve functionality.

Count me in when a 1600p version is available!

 

[lamorpa]

Wow. Now I can store an extra 0.6" of stuff behind my monitor. I don't need that extra bedroom!

IMHO, the price is reasonable. I was recently thinking about the monster LCD I have on my desk. It must be at least two inches thick. 😉

However, OLED with 100%+ NTSC gamut, is not all that far out now as I see it.

Yeah, know wacha mean. I keep bumping my nose on my screen too. If I could move it back 1.5" it would be sooooo much better (and maybe it would stop fogging up too!)

If they could have thinned that base out and gone HDMI/Display Port/Power only, I think it'd be much more attractive.

 

[eddieroolz]

Holy crap, that is sexy.

....until I saw the base.

Still, if you can cleverly hide the base, then you've got one sexy monitor.
