“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 Pantel Corp.

“Completely water-resistant, 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.”

About Pantel
Pantel Corp., based in Orange County, Calif., is a worldwide leader in the design and distribution of high-end, weatherproof and water-resistant LCD television solutions and accessories for nearly unlimited indoor and outdoor applications. Pantel’s product line consists of five screen sizes of outdoor weatherproof LCD HDTVs with integrated wireless distribution packages, four water/weatherproof “Mirror TV” screen sizes, wireless speakers, dust covers, consoles, and mounting solutions.

Pantel has created such products for use in both residential and commercial applications, such as in backyards, sports fields, restaurants, golf courses, amusement parks, and wherever entertainment, advertisement, and demonstrations would be hosted outdoors. Other such indoor residential and commercial applications include bathrooms/showers, spas, saunas, and wherever a customer wants video entertainment without fear of it being damaged by moisture.

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
