Wilkerson's M21 Flat-Panel TV looks like a two-dimensional version of the huge console TV I grew up watching in my grandparents' basement rec-room. All it needs is one of those ancient Zenith acoustic remotes that used a bunch of buttons poised over miniature tuning forks, which emitted inaudible sounds that caused the channel to change (you could mute the TV by sneezing and turn it off by jingling your keys!). No price yet, but I'm guessing not cheap. What shall we call this 1950s-meets-today design aesthetic? Beaverpunk?
