Aquavision introduces new ranges of waterproof TVs (7/6/2004)

Kitchen TV

Designed to fit into standard kitchen units, two new waterproof and greaseproof flat LCD TVs were launched by Aquavision at CEDIA 2004. Both the Aquavision K5 (500mm wide) and Aquavision K6 (600mm wide) incorporate a 17" wide screen LCD screen with IPS technology providing a 176 degree, all round viewing angle. The Aquavisions are supplied with small bookshelf type speakers, standard and waterproof remote controls and are simple to mount into standard 500 or 600mm wide kitchen units. Front panels are available in a choice of white, brown or polished stainless steel so they will blend in with other kitchen appliances and won't look out of place above the oven or microwave.

Bathroom TV

In response to feedback from CEDIA installers, Aquavision introduced an improved version of their well established range of bathroom TVs. The new units now have an 8mm polished stainless steel flange on the front to cover any rough edges on tiles etc. The patented new design reduces the build-in depth whilst simplifying flush-mount installation in solid walls and panels such as kitchen, bedroom and bathroom doors. A full range of screens will be available in the new design including 10.4" and 15" (4:3) plus 17" and 23" (16:9).

Towelrail TV

Aquavision introduced a new concept in bathroom TVs. Available in three sizes (500 X 800mm, 1000 X 760mm and 1000 X 1800mm) and designated Aquavision T1, T2 and T3, all models incorporate a 17" widescreen LCD TV with two built-in speakers and MirrorVision glass on the front. The patented screens look like designer towel rail mirrors but when powered up, a TV image appears from behind the mirror.

"This will open up a new "retrofit" market for us. The Towelrail TV is ideal for property developers as they are simple to install and can be added to an options list when marketing new or renovated smart-home properties" said Alastair Benn, MD of Aquavision.

MirrorVision for Plasma & LCD Screens

Available as mirror glass only for mounting in a picture frame or, for wet areas such as bathrooms, pools and spas, with a waterproof enclosure to fit most 42" and some 50" plasma screens. The MirrorVision glass looks like a normal mirror but when powered up the TV image appears from behind the mirror.

Alastair Benn, MD of Aquavision said "This is an ideal way to conceal large flat panel TV screens in period properties or smart-homes where all the technology is out of sight. When the screen is turned off it's a mirror, when turned on it's a TV".
