NEWS: A 57in waterproof LCD for the bathroom?

We had to laugh when the latest email from Aquavision landed in our email box. The company has decided that what the world apparently needs is a mammoth 57in in-wall, waterproof LCD TV.

Now given the size of the average British bathroom, the mind boggles as to how most of us would actually accommodate the thing. Clearly it's aimed at premiership footballers and City slickers, not mere mortals like us.

The TV can be installed in bathrooms and swimming pools (although presumably not underwater), or in the living room for the more conventionally minded.

Snappily called the AVF 57-4LCD, it has Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, analogue and digital tuners, two HDMI inputs and a claimed 2,073,000 pixels. Oh, and two remote controls, one of which is waterproof.

What's more, when the TV is off, it turns into a mirror. Handy for that early morning shave or applying your makeup.

Given that our offices are located by the Thames, we'll be ringing the PR company to ask for one to try out on the river. Only kidding.

If you want to see the AVF 57-4LCD for real, it'll be on show at ISE (Integrated Systems Europe) show in Amsterdam from January 29-31.
