Ubiquitous Black Televisions
Posted by: Jason Damon on 14 December 2009
Why are the vast majority of new televisions black, and on the whole made from cheap plastics. I can't wait for this fashion to change.
I can understand that costs need to be kept down for companies to remain competitive but how difficult would it be to design televisions that have some form of aesthetic identity. Visit any television retailer and you will be met by a wall of black shiny plastic. I can't be the only one who would appreciate more diversity in design and finishes than is currently available, this goes for surround systems too. I cannot afford a B&O or Loewe TV but I would pay slightly more for a television that looks more appealing.
Does anyone else share my thoughts on this ?

I've Googled but can't find who makes or sells Ubiquitous TVs.
