What I like about the Vector is that while it looks fun and interesting all on its own, its shape leads your eyes to the TV.

The downside to the Vector is that TV design is not up to its standards. With choices ranging from silver and black to black and silver, your TV has some catching up to do if it wants to be part of the the purple and lime green crowd.
