Also with due respect, you are in no position to judge whether I am in denial or not.
Like many others, when the display was announced, I was less than impressed with the product aesthetics but needed an external monitor to improve productivity as I sit in front of my computer for 8+ hours a day. I went to an Apple Store to see the display in person and remained unimpressed but decided to order a pair anyway, knowing I had a 14 day return window. I honestly expected I would be returning the displays and even discussed this with the Apple salesperson in the store to confirm that purchases made via the business team were eligible for 14 day return window.
That was just over a month ago and despite swapping my displays due to the interference issue, I can honestly say I am delighted with the aesthetics when viewed in the context of my own home-office surroundings. Product shots, especially those taken in a typical brightly lit, white background tend to highlight the black bezels whereas, in a more typical setting, with ambient lighting and visual breaks behind the displays, the only thing you see in daily use is the image.
And what an image it is!
So, thanks for your psychoanalysis on my "denial" problem, I'll be sure to mention it to my doctor next time I visit.
We can agree on one thing - I do see what I want to see...a gorgeous display image!
