Television sets have changed quite a bit from the CRT models to today's LCD TVs. In general, the appearance of modern TVs has gone through many changes represented by 3 stages. The first stage was a full plastic appearance where the entire television appeared in all plastic, such as heavy CRT TVs, projection TVs and earlier LCD TVs. This design was mainly due to age limiting technology, manufacturing abilities and the internal structure of a television, and of course for reducing costs.
The third stage is the stage of an all-metal exterior. This has been a result mainly of the market requirements from people wanting something more elegant to show. Television is no longer just a pure entertainment device; it is returning to its original place as a center piece of the living room becoming a work of art in the home to be displayed in and of itself. Manufacturers are starting to focus on the art of the TV appearance and are striving to present something that can go with the overall harmony of the home. For such a result, an all-metal exterior with metal base design has emerged, such as KTC's L91F series TV.

From a practicality standpoint, a TV appearance with an all-metal material is not only able to better reduce electromagnetic interference signals and help dissipate heat, but is also more stable in the long run. At the same time the metal shell will not burn in a fire, a good safety factor to consider. Also the metal base is more sturdy and strong as opposed to a plastic base one.
From an aesthetic point of view, a thinner and narrower metal frame can better blend with the TV screen, with the visual effect being closer to a borderless result. The ultra-narrow metal frame shell, as if a piece of art carved, exudes a calm yet strong atmosphere.
