Dell seems be taking interest in the aesthetic aspect of designs along with technical excellence. The Dell Crystal display is the proof for its marvelous work with crystal and metal. Crafted from four millimeter ultra-clear tempered glass, the award-winning 22-inch WXGA 1680 x 1050LCD display is an ingenious blending of art and technology. With smart looks, it sounds cool in its technicality too.

It offers 98% color gamut for more color shades and tones, 2-millisecond response time, 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and a miniature 2-megapixel webcam has well contributed to make it CES Best of Innovations 2008. Very conscious about looks, Dell Crystal houses audio speakers too, but all the wired circuitry is cleverly integrated into its svelte frame. It provides HD connectivity with DVI / HDMI with HDCP, sub-woofer out, and USB. Sleek formation erupts out of tempered glass standing on highly polished metal tripod stand.

The price seems to have taken a big jump to reach at $1199 for this beauty, for which it doesn’t appear to be unworthy of.
