Adjustable Displays?

They'd still need a decent base to hold it down. And if it was a 23" it would have to be a pretty big base - sort of defeating the purpose of a thin panel.
But I can't wait to see the new designs!

It'd be nice if it was as adjustable as the iMac display. Maybe even do the same set-up, but with a very small and dense/heavy base. That way it would have a small footprint, but because you don't need to worry about what is stored in there they could make it heavy enough to counteract the torque from a 23". Hmmmm, anyone know if OLED's are lighter than other screens? I think they are, and that would help a lot. Just a thought.
wouldn't it be cool to have a heavy base w/ optical drive, firewire ports, USB, and iPod dock? All with a single cable going to the CPU...
That way the base could be heavy and have as much adjustibility as the iMac- kinda like the really thin sony displays that have the seperate box, but connect the display to the box and put an optical drive and stuff in there.

Re: How 'bout
You may want this (and I would while playing MAME!) but I don't think there's a large demand for it. Maybe we need a poll for this question!
OLED prices are getting better. The catch is that nobody has even ventured into the world of big OLEDs. Remember, Think Secret thinks that's where Apple's displays are headed.
But, about the LCD rumor, this is a truly vague report from LoopRumors if I ever one. It's more speculation and wishful thinking than anything else. They don't even explain how it would really work.
i actually read that OLEDS are also easier to make, with less required parts to assemble than LCDS.
More Flexible
I know I like my original 15 inch LCD betetr than my ADC 15 screen. I liek the tilt, swivel and height adjustments.
In the day of ergonomics, this is an area where adjustability is key. One big complaint I have heard about apple monitors is that is requires an expensive desk to properly adjust the screen to the user, while a cheaper screen or PC can be adjusted to most desks to a safe viewing placement.
I think the introduction of screens with more adjustments will be welcome in many settings that take ergonomics seriosuly and for those with some limited desk realestate.

I still love my 15-inch Studio Display to pieces. It's very adjustable, stylish, and you can even take it off its base. I hope Apple goes with something like it again.
The entire powermac line, tower / displays / keyboard / mouse all need freshing up. It was slick looking 2 years ago... but now it is just MOTS (more of the same).
how much less adjustable are they than other brand lcd's? i have an el cheapo 15" lcd that i rarely use, and it's actually less adjustable than the apple ones.
how heavy is the 23"?

This is GREAT if it's true - as far as I can tell, my 15" is almost completely non-adjustable, altho it is a beautiful pixel-perfect monitor... but LoopRumors hasn't been accurate in the past. Definitely page 2.
Ditto on that. Except for the 17" iMac. I still think this is the sexiest machine ever built (not counting the Cherry 2000).

hmm. at first i thought, damn that's heavy...but then i saw This 23" LCD a simple pedistal like this gets about a 25 degree tilt and a 90 degree swivel. and this thing weighs about 40lbs.
It's not just the adjustability that needs to change. The current Apple LCD monitors are huge, with tons of wasted space.
Notice how large the bezel is on an Apple 17" Studio display compared to an NEC display. Apple's 17" monitors are as big as other companies' 19" LCD monitors.
They need to be sleeker. That should also make them lighter.

I don't really know if this is just me, or if it is some non-Apple monitor, but has anyone seen the picture at the bottom of the WWDC page on apple.com?
Sure looks to me like an adjustable display....

Right there.
Someone please just let me know if i am seeing things or what...
