Just curious if any of you wonder, like me, what the next installment of apple displays will be like. I hope that integrate the isight camera, similar to what they've done on the imac and macbook pro.

Anyone else have any requests/predictions/needs?

more of each port would be killer. include atleast one fw800. the isight thing yes, but keep the same look all around. make the student prices standard price, and keep the student prices still 200 bucks off.

This would be my prediction for the next revision, too. Otherwise, no high-def DVD on the Mac.

HDMI will probably be a must, due to HD DVD and/or Blu-ray. And, a small price drop would be great too. Overall, It seems like monitor prices are dropping a lot lately.

Cheaper, brighter, better contrast and with an iSight.

Not sure about HDMI because not many video cards have it and no current apple products to.

for now it might be best just to leave DVI as an HDMI adapter is pretty cheap and doesn't result in a loss in quality.

More important than the HDMI connector is HDCP support.

I'd also like to see additional USB & FW ports.
I gotta have more cowbell.
