    Those things look godawful, anyway. Natural materials should be used in context; having an LCD glowing out of a wood frame is jarring, not natural. Cherry and granite are great, but in their place.

    Geez, I sound like I've escaped from The Fountainhead...

    You know, i've found that the truly wealthy who actually earned their wealth would more than likely shun the idea of spending $300k on a monitor.

    Probably most of the people buying this crap are either trust fund babies or lottery winners, in other words, people who have no real idea of the value of money.

    Thats obscenely rich.
