Good morning everyone.
In the first place I do believe this is the right place to make the post, but if it's not, please move it, and accept my apologies. *EDIT* Sorry, I think this would have to go on buying advice...
I have a hackintosh, but I do also own a mid 2010 27'' iMac. I've had a long list of problems with the apple pice of *@^ (let's say, hardware), and now the screen starts flickering for the second time in history (I got the imac changed for this reason like when it was almost two years old, just before the waranty was about to expire, not without going into the 50 km away apple store with the giantic and heavy mac a few times and have several discussions with so called "geniuses". FYI I'll list the other problems: the SD card reader does not automount (luckily I found a command that does mount the thing), and the CD drive died in warranty period and was not replaced because Apple said it was a consumable (WTF?).
The thing is, I was thinking that maybe it's time to replace the iMac with a hackintosh (I could also wait to see the new iMacs, but after several problems with several mac products I do NOT trust their hardware: iMac and like 5/6 faulty iPhones). The only real drawback / problem with my hacintosh has been the updates breaking things (which generally exasperates me to the limit, that's the only reason I would buy Apple hardware again). The other reason, which I admit it's not a technical issue, but an aesthetic one. The iMac is beautiful, and the monitor alternatives are ugly. Besides, iMac screen has built in speakers and camera, and it's really rare to find the same in another screens.
TL;DR: So I'm asking if someone knows some monitor that is phisically beautiful. I do understand it will not be as beautiful as an iMac screen, but I aspire to find something close to it.
Thanks for your help, patience, and answers.
