What would they add to them?
They already have far and away the nicest displays on the market..... maybe integrated isight or something like that is all I can think of.

I'd like to see support for other/secondary inputs... They're such beautiful screens. It's a shame I can't rig up a set top box as well as my mac. Probably a long shot though.

I think we'll see faster response times, but not much else. Apple ought to be waiting for the Intel releases to do major revisions to any of it's computer products (i.e. not iPods).
Price drops would be nice.

I don't think there's a lot they can do to them...
More USB ports
Other inputs
Built in iSight
Smaller bezels

Only think of one improvement (apart from making them easier for me to purchase by costing less) that would be to add a HDMI port so you can connect set top box/DVD etc direct and use it as a TV monitor, I know you can get DVI to HDMI convertors but any conversion always equals some kind of signal loss. :unsure:

I think HDMI and DVI are effectively the same , just HDMI has audio and other "added value" stuff, there is no "conversion" needed- I think

They wont do this but

integrated isight and ipods not using firewire - it will be dropped and it will pick up 2 extra USB and be just 4 port USB2 like the Dell

Apple remote on the side and the IR receiver built in - the sides of cinema displays are white and frontrow bundles.

That way you can get front row on all macs provided you purchase an Apple display with your mac.

Sounds like good idea to The Architect.mac h34r:

Intergrated iSight would be nice...but I dont think so.

Price drop is a must.

Pushing the 20" to support at least 1920x1080 is a must for HD, preferably higher.

HMDI or DVI supporting HDCP is a must.

23" going to 24" or 26" with higer resolution would be nice.

A new 17" like the new PB 17" screen would be great for switchers.
