Here you can get a pretty good look at the E2290's footstand. The front is reflective and the top has a hazy silver finish.

From this angle, you can see that the bezel is not silver exactly, but more silver with a purplish hue.

You can't tell from this angle, but the back of the E2290 is extremely reflective and continues that silver/purple finish we saw on the bezel.

One of our least favorite traits of the E2290 is how deeply the connections are embedded within the footstand. Useful assortment though.

This angle shows the LED dots that represent the buttons of the On Screen Display (OSD) array. On the right is the cool-looking power button, all lit up.
