Although the Apple commentary put this in troll territory, I'd have to otherwise agree. The monitor definitely doesn't say 'high end' the way the Apple or other expensive monitors in the market do. They really couldn't give it slicker design that doesn't match their $299 monitors? http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/category.aspx?c=us&l=en&s...

If you look carefully you'll notice that the only difference between the $299 monitors and the Ultra HD monitor in term of design is a thinner bezel. Maybe it would have increased the price much more for virtually nothing to have a thinner bezel on their new screen. Also, they don't have any competitor for this screen, so they don't need to distinguish themselves from the competition like they do with the "borderless" 24" screen.

I personally don't find them cheap looking and I'd rather have a "plastic" looking bezel with a mate screen over a sleek looking screen with an all-glass shiny front.

I agree. Dell monitors' matte screens are really nice.
