CES: Dell Crystal Display Emulates Apple
Dell introduced its newest monitor at CES this week, which boasts a sleek, eye-catching design reminiscent of Apple.
The Dell Crystal is a 22" widescreen flat panel monitor that, unlike other Dell displays, is housed in 4mm thick tempered glass. The Crystal features four built-in speakers and touch controls in the lower right-hand corner of the display. The model uses Dell’s TrueColor technology and offers a resolution of 1680 x 1050.
The Dell Crystal display also features a 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 2 millisecond response time. In addition, the monitor has a 2.0 megapixel webcam with a microphone and comes with high definition connectivity (DVI / HDMI with HDCP). The Crystal is priced at $1,199 and available via Dell.com.

Very nice design! I don't see how they are "Emulating" apple just because they use tempered glass in their design. Apple's experimentations with glass never had quite the same striking effect as this - and the last time I checked, Apple don't own the rights to using glass in the design of a monitor :-) But seriously - a GREAT move by Dell and a sign of things to come. Very desirable.
I guess you have to actually be there in order to appreciate it, because it looks pretty cheap and tacky off of the photo. Not digging the speakers or see-through buttons at all.
That's a lot of cash for a monitor. Considering Apple's (already "overpriced") 23" model sells for $300 less and delivers a higher native resolution, I think I know where'd I'd send my money...
I've got to agree with the other poster, though. This really isn't emulating Apple so much as it's emulating Sony and their XBR LCD flatscreens.
