GARDEN GROVE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2008 — Pantel (www.panteltv.com), the worldwide leader in outdoor weatherproof TV solutions, is proud to announce that it will feature its new waterproof “Mirror TV” product line at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held in Las Vegas, Nev. from Jan 8-11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth #S27024 (South Hall). The four new 17-, 20-, 26-, and 32-inch screen sizes will be available via special order in Q4 2008, and are perfect not only for certain outdoor applications, but specifically for indoor applications such as 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 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.
