The 20" panels are pretty bad if you demand higher quality for certain tasks. A huge amount of people just use their computer for light photo use, web surfing, e-mail, word processing, etc. When they read these comments, they immediately think the screen is junk. In their case, the quality is perfect for their level of use.

Very true. It will do fine for most people. That said, a lot of those people would certainly enjoy a better quality panel for the same price. But I guess they had to cut corners somewhere.

I love to hear so many people on this forum who moan about how crappy the glossy screens look on these machines when chances are they've probably never even seen one in person.

Jonathan Ives has a difficult job

when i walked into the store today and saw the new iMacs for the first time, i thought 'whoa.. they're gorgeous'!

that lasted about 1.34 seconds and then it was onto checking out how the new keyboard is (fantastic) and watching a few 1080p movie trailers on the 24"

what then occurred to me is that we now take it for granted that Apple will have amazing drop dead gorgeous (ddg TM) designs which means that the bar is raised higher and higher the better they do

I guess we're seeing this in the pro laptop space where seemingly, there is nowhere to go in terms of improving the design of macbook pro's, only thinner and faster as tech stuff improves

what's the next big thing in hardware design?? Aluminium and glass???
