How long have the 17 inch and the 20 inch displays been without the pinstripes? I downloaded the data sheet pdf from apple and the image clearly shows this.
The 23 inch still has them however. I don't remember them looking like this at the Apple store.

They all don't have pinstripes, download this image and see http://www.apple.com/pr/photos/displ...agreement.html
Those will look decent with the G5.
We just bought two new 17s for the office; they were delivered last Friday and they are stripetastic.
The fact that the 20-inch was designed with stripes makes me think Apple will keep them. It's not like the pinstriped displays have matched the last two G4 towers.
Well...panther dosen't have pinstriping anymore, so I'd wager the next new displays won't either
Thats a bit extreme there. \
Does anyone have a Apple LCD that does not have pinstripes? And don't say yeah my iMac...

Wrong. I take it you haven't seen any of my 140-something loss-less screenshots in the Mac OS X forum's sticky. \
Has ANYONE bought an Apple LCD that does NOT have pinstripes?

Like Brad has already said, the pin stripes are still there. They've just been toned down. Take a look for yourself.
I think that suggests apple is moving away from that type of design, which would sugest that the next displays may very well be pinstripe-less.
I haven't been to the SOHO store in a couple of weeks and I didn't notice if new monitors had been changed or not... besides they probably don't swtich monitors if it's only a minor cosmetic change.
If anyone has purchased one in the last week or two... lemme know.
The pinstripes have been pulled in addition to switching all apple logos to the metallic color, rather than the old translucent graphite color. After viewing the press photo on my 17" Flat Panel, I can tell you there is a noticable difference.
I was concerned about the "No New Displays" issue when I purchase my G5, but at this point I'm looking forward to it all!

The 20 and 23-inch displays never had the graphite logos; they have had the chrome Apples since they were introduced. The 23 was the first to have the new look as the 17 and 22 still had the graphite logo. The 17 was changed (I think) when the 20 was introduced last winter, if not before.
As I said a few posts back, our brand-new 17s (chrome logos) are stripetacular. And see the photo here. Looks stripey to me.

My 17 inch display is supposed to come out tommorow so I guess I will have to wait until then to see.
