One really recent 12" B&W set I briefly owned was a KTV KTV1210CLR. I can't remember if the boilerplate stated it was made in 1992 or 2002. Two very unusual features for a 12" B&W were it's electronic cable-ready tuner with OSD, and it's cabinet color - CLEAR!.
I had brought the set for $5 at a thrift store while on vacation in Upper Michigan, to use for TV DXing, and left it at the resort when it was time to return home (the set was then thrown away).
The clerk at the thrift store told me that the set came from a prison in town, that they were the only sets sold in the prison store. The cabinet was clear so that the television set could not be used to conceal drugs or weapons.
Picture was not very sharp nor bright, DX performance was decent, however.
