Images taken from material.angular.io website. Left is md-input and right is md-select.

Why are the labels in different positions?
Same label position in both components.
md-select label is higher than md-input label.
Just look at md-input/md-select help sections in material.angular.io
User experience is not good.
Angular 2.4.4
Angular Material 2.0.0-beta.1
Chrome/IE/Edge
md-input-container is not allowed with md-select
Ok, changing
.md-select-placeholder.md-floating-placeholder { top: -17px; }
.md-select-value { top: 2px; }
.md-select-trigger { height: 25px; }
Also in -17 instead of -22 in:
https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/src/lib/select/select-animations.ts#L24
and
https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/src/lib/select/select-animations.ts#L29
Fixes the position of all elements.
.md-select-trigger {margin: 8px 0;} worked for me
Yeah, select and input should definitely align. There is an existing issue tracking this though (https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/2124), so closing this as a dupe.
show stopper at the moment
