Ever since flat-panel TVs began adorning walls, manufacturers have assumed that they should be treated like fine art--even to the point of disguising the sets as paintings or antique mirrors. We tend to think that even the most doltish burglar would see through this subterfuge, but maybe we're just optimists.
Sony apparently disagrees, or perhaps it truly thinks that some of its latest LCD TVs deserve to mingle permanently with museum-quality oils. Available on the U.K. market in screen sizes of 26, 32, and 40 inches, the Bravia E4000 includes a "Picture Frame Mode" that will automatically display one of six "artistic masterpieces" when the TV is turned off. Or you can load your own photos through its USB connection, though please refrain from displaying gigantic wedding photos for the sake of all involved.
