What to replace a 5250 console with

I saw the recent discussion on the HMS vs Lan Console issue and the "dissing" of the good ol' 5250 console. I have a slightly different issue here. My customer has used a 5250 display for the console, in fact, the same one, since their S/36 days (planning to go with the same HMC for 15 years? Yeah, right!). This thing still works great, but it's ugly. There it sits among the bright shiny 20" flat panel displays - It ain't easy being green.....
So my customer says "Pete, get us something new to replace this with!" and I say "Sure thing!" But what? I am guessing, given the low estate of the 5250 console that there ain't no such thing as a 5250 flat panel display. I haven't used the other console options to date because, well, the 5250 console just ALWAYS works. 

So, what do you recommend?  I need something bulletproof and good looking.
