Philips' white TV: in any colour, as long as it's black

Philips_2 

Black and glossy has been the finish of choice for TVs for the last couple of years, so a promotional video from Philips showing a white-framed set in the company's Design Collection seemed to be something of a departure. Oddly, though, when the people at the Philips booth were asked about it, they knew nothing about it. A call to the press office confirmed that the Design Collection is available only in black, and that any white-framed imagery was just for show.

It looked good in white, if a little like the last-generation iMac.

....and I also have one of those pesky white Samsung TVs. It was the best looking TV in the shop among a sea of black or grey. So I bought it :-)
