Fortis.TV - candy-colored HDTVs for Japan

Is the Fortis.TV from display-maker Eizo Nanao the ugliest HDTV ever made? While our peeps at HD Beat may think so, we're not too sure — though given the relatively short history of the HD industry, it may just qualify. Regardless, we have to admit that the sets, which come in sizes from 19 inches to 26 inches, don't exactly make the best use of space. By mounting the candy-colored speakers on a full-width panel under the set, Eizo takes away any options in terms of mounting this anywhere but on its built-in stand. However, given that these are designed for diminutive Japanese homes, Eizo may have just assumed that customers wouldn't have the space for a big U.S.-style media console, and mounting everything on a slim pedestal would be the best way to go. And the larger sizes do come in more muted color choices, including black and gray.
