I like the future tech of Camerons Avatar better than the bulky consoles in Star Treck and the like.
These are so far apart though. Future tech in a movie from 2009 (where we already had LCDs and iPhones) compared to TNG in 1987.
Even if they could have been even more forward thinking in their design, they wouldn't have been able to film I back then. LCARS was just backlit scribs with some CRT displays undreneath in areas that needed to animate. You couldn't CG it then and have it look believable.
