Color Me Radd: Hü - Custom Colored TV's, Mounts & Speakers

032108-unplggdHu01.jpgWe knew this was bound to happen with all the custom colour options for laptops, iPods and gaming consoles. Now you can send in your own paint swatch, and the Home Technology Store will custom paint your flat panel tv, speakers, and any other home electronics to compliment that "Seafoam Mist" interior wall colour in your living room...

 
 

032108-unplggdHu02.jpgThe custom job is a three step process:

  1. Purchase any TV, Mount or select speakers from the Home Technology Store along with this Hü Coloring Service (we wish there was an option like ordering car tires online, where you could send your purchased tires from a selection of shops for installation to save money.)
  2. Download and sign an agreement form, alongside a paint swatch for the color paint matching.
  3. Once received and approved, Hu will match your color, custom paint your product and ship it out.

Expect to pay from $175 for speakers to $399 for a 43"+ flat panel television. This could be a big selling point for husbands or wives who do want a bigger television, but not a bigger honking decor-unfriendly presence in the living room. Just in the nick of time for March Madness, no?

mmkay, does anyone else notice this trend of attaching screens high up on the wall??
I mean, come on, there suppose to be eye level why not just attach the bloody thing to the roof and be done with it.

Ben: I agree. I always cringe seeing people place displays at higher positions, almost ensuring improper viewing angle and a cramped neck.
