Mocked-up Cinema display taunts us with an update

Yup, it's been since then that a Cinema update has seemed to be just around the corner. You can only think of so many ways to update monitors, but it seems that Apple hasn't, so far, liked any of the ideas enough to put them on sale.
Thanks, Jacob!

Are we going to see new Cinema displays by the end of the month? If so, they might look like this-- it's a nice-looking mockup posted by...

I hope thay change it soon the current ones been out for 4 years Dell has been popping out new displays mostly every year to keep up with todays technology, wonder why what's taking Apple so long to update their Cinema displays, Myself want a 30inch but in light news like this i'm willing to hold on buying one but I don't know how long because that Dell (3008) 30 inch looks very tempting 3000:1 contrast ratio were as Apple displays is only 700:1 but I have faith in apple just wish thay hurry up.
iPhone has 162 dpi instead of standard 72 dpi.. Leopard is resolution independant... I hope that a new line of Cinema displays will feature a higher dpi than the standard 72 dpi.
It´s either that (graphic design orientated) or we will see a more commercial update that features HDTV output that works with Appel TV take 2.
I have the new 20" iMac and boy-o-boy would I like a 20" glossy look-a-like cinema display.
I have had my MBP for nearly two years and it has a matt display. I was not sure if I would like the glossy display but, now that I have seen it and worked with it, I think it is great and I do all my imaging stuff on the iMac.
I think if Apple did update them it would be somthing like this:

with a much slimer profile and thinner bezel.
Although i rather like the idea that ecobore brought up about them being completely bezel-less
The cost of the material to make LCDs have gotten a lot cheaper and still continue to get cheaper.
Personally I would love to sell a product with the profit margin of the ACD. I am not arguing quality (I love the ACD), but the prices are *really* hard to swallow (I am not a graphic designer, just Joe Smoe).
If they were glossy, it would put my non-glossy upgrade path in peril. I will not replace my firstgen Intel iMac with a glossy iMac, see. I was thinking about the Mac Pro with a seperate Cinema Display, eventually.
My living room / office space is pretty sunny - which is nice - but unsuitable for glossy screens.
it seems much more likely that when the new cinema screens do appear they will essentially be bezel-less - for multi-screen setups.

I actually really like this design. I think it's where Apple's headed. And remember, the ACD's aren't pro only. Lots of people buy them for their mini's and such. So Apple would probably try to appeal to both spectrums. I would hope Apple would do something similar to this.
