The Apple disease of making everything white is spreading. Yesterday, Sony announced its first white PS3 and now Goodmans is getting all saintly with a new 19in HDTV that sports everything but the kitchen sink.

As usual, it has the sexiest product name ever in ‘GTVL19W17HVFW’ but this white 19in telly features an analogue and digital TV tuner, single HDMI port [a bit stingy], in-built DVD player, SD Card reader for looking at those holiday snaps, USB port and a native resolution of 1440 x 990.

Contrast isn’t anything to write home about at 800:1 but what do you expect for £325? At that price, it’s a reasonably competitive 19in HDTV, although you can nab a black 19in TV from Goodmans for £250 – see, already the white cladding is demanding a Style Tax.

Still, if you want something to blend with your white iPod and Wii, you might be able to stomach the extra £75.-Martin Lynch
