Flat displays from the big makers regularly come with two inputs. The best I've seen (like Dell 2001FP and some of the Eyegonomic screens) also have composite, and the features don't seem to cost much if Dell uses them.
It's a huge selling point for me if I can plug another computer into the same screen. Even better if the game console can join in as well.
The sad thing was that I sat and tried to visualize which axis the design would limit and I still got it wrong
Yeah, you could move it up and down, or tilt it up and down but be limited to only only moving shifting it with no real angle change side to side.... A rotation side to side movement would be needed.
It's a difficult problem.
I think best solved by those dedicated monitor arms that are heavy duty and meant to be wall mounted.
I think vertical adjustment and forward and back tilt would be adequate but Apple has set a formidable standard with the iMac. Whether they'll be able to meet that standard with new stand-alone displays is yet to be seen. Almost any kind of adjustment would be better than the current displays and better than the example where this thread got started.
30" display customers have a different definition of affordable and don't have average desks. Such a monitor would sell very well (and very profitably) to high end users.
Agreed. A potential 30inch screen would satisfy pro users ie FCP & shake but there are custom solutions out there currently - ie trading room floor monitors ect... I hope to god though that apple get it right with all there screen sizes and give us a design and form factor with thin bezel face so that when monitors and placed next to each other and spanned there is a the smallest physical gap from screen to screen.
This is more Apple, but it's unlike Apple to just copy a previous design, I don;t know. I see these design and i don't think yeah that's it, i have done with previous models and i'm usually right!!
Secondly, an old point, the LCD monitors did not look exactly the same as the old PowerMacs which is what i was saying that's why they all went together, that's why this design can;t look to like the G5 it has to allow growth for design.

good idea

But with two arms you limit vertical maneuverability.
Horizantal maneuverability?

What if the joints were some type of ball and socket joint rather than a hinge...

Whatever, same diff

(Sort of like those deck lamp arms.)

No LCD has horizontal movement, only vertical & tilt forward & backward.

iMac LCD displays have horizontal movement.
