I'm looking to buy a bog standard black 21" telly for my sitting room but nowhere seems to be doing them anymore. I hate those blasted silver-coloured things - they are just so ugly (and surely won't do any justice to my lovely black pioneer unit). Can anyone help me?

I think silver is the colour of choice as it is cheaper colour to use in manufacturing.
