hahaha. That's funny I have the exact opposite opinion I like them black so you cant see them at night and as little bezel as possible. I guess to each his/her own.

 If I was buying a non-Apple m,monitor, the only one I'd look at is the NEC EA231WMi.

 
I can vouch for that NEC. It's a value performer and calibrates really well. I think Dell and Viewsonic sourced the same panel for a couple of their 23" models, so you may even be able to find them under $300 on sale. The Dell, especially may be the way to go. I really like their stand design. I got my NEC for a shade over $300 and I love it. The case and stand are really plain, but mine's on a VESA compatible arm, so no matter.

To all the people arguing about the Apple "theater monitors" or whatever they are, This is my response:

Hi!
 
Here is my Computer/Desktop rig. I don't use it to play, just to edit and listen to music and some internet time.
 

 
The grey thing is a lamp of optical hairs that glow in different colours. It's a pity that doesn't appear well in the pic. Those speakers are just 3 pieces of crap and gonna rip them off. Of course, as you can see I'm not such a cable manager and have them my way hehehe.
 
Specs:
 
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition QuadCore 3,4 Ghz
Asus M4A785TD-V Evo
2x Kingston HyperX 2mb DDR3 1600 RAM in Dual Channel
Cooler Master CM690 Dominator with 6 Tacens fans of 12 cms 
NOX Apex 600W Modular
LG GSA-4082B DVD-RW
Seagate Barracuda 320Gb@7200rpm
WD MyBook 500Gb
Logitech Wave Keyboard
Rainbow optical mouse
Windows 7 Ultimate N x64
J-River MediaCenter 14
AKG K 324 P IEMS
J·S J-5901 crappy 2.1 speakers
Konnex 01MTP209 Power socket with overload protection and switch (9 sockets)
 
It's gonna be upgraded very soon with HDD 2Tb@7200rpm, BD unit, 16Gb of RAM, a good and cheap GPU, E-MU 1212m or M-Audio Audiophile 192, Little Dot MKIII or Maverick Audio A1 vacuum tube headphone amp and a set of AKG K 271 MK II or Shure SRH840.
 
Maybe I will make a dual boot system with Windows 7 and Mac OS Snow Leopard.
 
Later I will add a Numark NS7 and a pair of Genelec Monitors.

And just for giggles here's a few pictures of my 3 year old computer setup that really should upgrade (Has the Q6600 which was the first quad core processor out).  I've always believed that everything should be super clean inside the computer for maximum airflow:
