True. It's fugly though...
Is there a good (better than apple) wide gamut monitor on the market that looks good too? ideally silver and black...
Not that I know of. To be honest with you, you'll have to choose between cute/overprices/limited functionality and extremely functional/well spec'd/well priced.
Sadly, the Apple displays are priced very well, and the high end Eizos and others are as well, but will cost you much more, and won't be very ..... "cute"
