Super sexy transparent monitor on the way
Dell was always adamant that the Dell Crystal, pictured below, was nothing more than a design concept. That was until the product launched earlier today at dell.com/crystal. Though the launch website has since been pulled for unknown reasons, we can expect this beauty to ship over the next few days.
At just 4mm thick and surrounded by transparent glass - embedded with four speakers and a 2 megapixel webcam no less, the Dell Crystal is as easy on the eye as they come. Measuring in at 22", the display offers a 1680x1050 WSXGA resolution, TrueColour Technology, 2ms response time, 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and DVI, HDMI, and USB for connectivity.
Though the specification isn't bad, it isn't quite as jaw dropping as the style of the display, or indeed the price. The cost of such a sexy display on your desktop? $1,199.
*UPDATE*
The Dell Crystal is now official as the launch page has, well, re-launched over at www.dell.com/crystal
An official announcement is also available on the Direct2Dell blog.
