Today's TVs could have lots of design flair if they took a cue from Apple. I have thought that a set using a brushed aluminum bezel in a champagne or bronze color with a maching metal stand and a simple stamped steel back would be great. You would have an all metal set with a premium look and finish with sturdy build. I don't expect it would cost that much more since bezels on newer sets are rather thin. The sets could be very serviceable if parts and repair data were available. Most sets are already modular. There just needs to be better quality components used and good service support. We need to stop thinking of TV sets as disposable appliances and start valuing them again as treasured household posessions.
