that had them in the black bezel. Everyone else had them in white
bezels only. I don't think they carry them any more, as they are now a
6+ month old model, but I see they are still available online at Amazon
and others. That Samsung unit was the closest one in width that I found
when I was hunting earlier this year. I was out there with my measuring
tape going store to store! There may be more choices now. Also, the
smaller sizes only come in 720p. Forget looking for that size in 1080.
They don't exist. That unit was so good, we ended up getting a 46"
Samsung Touch Of Color model (LN46A650) for the house and it is like
looking thru a window rather than watching a TV!! In fact Samsung has a
LN22A650 model that would fit in there OK and that is a current model
that should be readily available. I have thought about one for the
bedroom in the bus.
