I believe they made a few TVs back in the day.

Yes, nothing new, you could buy them directly from Dish at one time.

I thought they were RCA models with a Dish logo on them?

Yeah they were made for dish and could buy them directly through dish. If I recall correctly it was a big flop. They were not the best and kind of pricey. Although you got to give them credit for always trying things.

If I recall correctly it was the 34" or a 40" and a 811 receiver.

Looks like they predated HDMI. I have one good thing to say for them. At least they aren't BLACK.

Yes, HD inputs are component and DVI, no HDMI to be found.

 

[3HaloODST]

HDMI was just kicking off back then.

IMHO silver is not that great. Black doesn't stand out, so it doesn't distract you from the picture.

Note it says "discontinued" and no price or buy button.

Crapola, even for the time, IMHO.

That would depend upon the wall color, light conditions, and whether the TV was off (I admit that always is black) or on displaying a brightly lit scene. We have a white TV in our bedroom.

Well considering that dark scenes are when you are most likely to notice the bezel (because the TV is emitting the least amount of light) I would still say that black is less distracting, on or off. I guess I'm just biased. White TVs/computers look so old-fashioned to me. Silver TVs too. Two of my HDTVs have silver frames, that looks good, but solid silver? Bleh.

I bought a 34" Dish-branded CRT for our partially-finished basement years ago. Has the flat, glass front (read: really heavy). Cut out a hole in the drywall-wall, so the back-end was in an unfinished, storage area, and the front was flush with the wall. This was before affordable flat panels, but it worked out really well--was rocking the Voom box for HD widescreen OTA. Now, 8-9 years later, I've dry-walled the hole in the wall, sold that house, trashed the Voom boxes, and moved, but the tv still works great in the basement for my son's xbox...

Damn, why don't they make TVs with a wood-grain bezel?

The problem with black is all these companies make it shiny black.
I don't want to see reflections.
