Odd coloured tvs.

The world seems to be pretty boring according to a friend of mine. He wants
to buy a tv with a green coloured cabinet to match some decor. Do any
manufacturers make one? I did point out that surely its better to buy a tv
on its specs, facilities and its picture quality rather than what colour the
cabinet is. After all there is hardly any cabinet these days, is there?

Newer TV sets are more or less rim less.

And what plastic casing there is on modern equipment tends to be *glossy*
plastic. Where did the current fad for making everything highly reflective
come from? Cases, laptop/TV screens - they are all glossy. Grrrr! I remember
searching far and wide for a laptop with a matt screen so I could use it in
the car or on a train without seeing myself and the car/train windows
reflected in the screen. When that needed replacing there were no
matt-screen laptops so I had to bite the bullet. Likewise the case is
reflective glossy plastic which shows every scuff and scratch.

The best coloured cabinet was the Murphy 'Acoustic Deluxe' Television, they
don't make them like that anymore!

If you want something different, how does this grab you?

[Sorry Brian, you won't be able to see the picture - but it's a TV built
into a large furry stuffed animal - allegedly a camel.]

We had some of them in our showroom but didn't manage to sell any.

Have it vinyl wrapped like buses and tasteless cars?

I once helped to move some hi-fi loudspeakers that had been painted
green. I recognised them as a KEF design that was normally available
in several wood finishes with a black grill down the middle, so it
appeared that the wooden parts had been painted. Actually, it was a
pale green with random flecks of red, presumably intended to look like
green onyx marble, and the speakers had also been fitted with little
gold lions' paw feet at the corners. I've never seen anything like it
in any hi-fi catalogue, and I guess you'd also search in vain to find
it as a standard option on a TV set. If your friend is determined to
get a green TV he may have to modify one himself.

Rod.

Thank Gawd!

QED! :-)

The last thing you need is a rather distracting bezel, especially one
that is using a bright primary colour such as red or green. The
'content' is barely interesting enough these days for most programmes
as it is without having to face stiff competition for the viewer's
attention by way of a 'high visibility colour scheme' within said
viewer's sight.

A darker neutral colour (i.e some dark shade of grey) is the best
option for such things as TV sets and computer monitors.
