Pantel is proud to announce that it will launch its new water/weatherproof “Mirror TV” product line at the 2008 CEDIA Expo. The three new 20-, 32-, and 42-inch screen sizes are now shipping via special order, and are perfect for not only the outdoors, but for indoor bathrooms, showers, and saunas, as well.

“As customers are looking to put TVs in every room of the house, Pantel’s new mirror TV is perfect for indoor quarters where they can act both as a mirror when not in use, and a high-quality TV when turned on,” said Joe Pantel, Chief Executive Officer of Surfside Concepts and Pantel Corp. “Completely weatherproof, they are perfect for certain areas outdoors. But, more specifically, they have been designed for the indoors where they can get wet with no fear of them being damaged. In a bathroom, for instance, they can be placed over a tub or within the shower. For commercial applications, they can be utilized in saunas. Basically, anywhere someone wants to relax and have the option of watching the game, music videos, whatever! Then, when not in use, it acts like a mirror for aesthetic purposes.”

I saw these a while back on line and they are super cool, but do you really need to watch TV while you shave???
