Exactly, Prad Peoples taste and opinions are very different, also when its about design.
Currently I have a huge butt-ugly 17" CRT monitor - and the main reason for me to get a TFT instead would be 1) The size and 2) The design. I'm sure the NEC is one of the best TFT's - but just not in the size and design section.
What would be the point of me getting a Monitor replacement if its huge (compared to most TFTs) and ugly - when that was the exact opposite reason i wanted one from the start (?). From the side and behind its not a pretty sight, in my opinion - and as my office room is right now, it will be very visible as my desk isnt lined up at the wall, but sticks out from it.
Personally I'm actually amazed how bad the NEC design is, considering every other TFT Monitor i've seen looks really nice. I thought the design was a huuuge priority in making/producing TFTs - but maybe they concentrated so hard on the features and insides of the NEC, that it'd cost too much to begin making a beautiful design - who knows
