Black because I use it as a mirror to see the TV behind me when I was in my dorm and I haven't bothered to change it. I need to to some cleaning, but it usually has to get pretty bad before I do a good cleaning.

If you have a glossy finish on your LCD it works pretty good with something that emits light like a TV screen. Even better if the room is dark. However many LCDs have a finish that prevents it.
