Hi Daniel, thanks for the reply. Yep, gonna go for the Toshiba; it actually is all black. My present 27" TV is black, and all of my other components are black; even the digital cable box.

Many, many years ago, when the manufacturers changed from silver to black, my components were all silver--and over time I converted to all black at great expense. I have no desire, nor can I afford, to go through that again. Must confess, though, that I _do_ have a Sony RM-VL900 remote, which is silver. ALL of my other (seemingly dozens of) remotes, including the RM-VL700, are black.
