Written by admin on March 29th, 2008 in Gadgets.
With spring in full swing, who wouldn’t want to enjoy a little TV watching in their patios? With Pantel’s latest pair of weatherproof HDTVs, you can confidently mount them outside and not worry about the spring rain destroying your shiny new TV. In fact, you don’t need to mind the weather at all, as these new panels can withstand just about anything Mother Nature decides to throw at them. The 32-inch PAN320 and 42-inch PAN420 can withstand temperatures of -40 to 140 degrees fahrenheit. Pantel has equipped both TVs with a dual-flow ventilation and built-in heating system to keep them nice ‘n cool in the summer and warm ‘n toasty in the winter. Spec-wise, both models feature 1366 x 768 resolution, an anti-reflective glass, 1600:1 contrast ratio, waterproof remote control, and a wireless RF receiver—which allows users to broadcast HD video and audio to the TV from 150 feet away.
The Pantel PAN320 and PAN420 retail for $3,950 and $4,450. The company has teased that 52 and 60-inch models are in the works, but no details have been announced. We’ll have more information when Pantel decides to dish out.
