While we at the Engadget HQ regularly present our
LCD TV with offerings of grain and fruit, some people (heathens) might not treat their displays with the same level of respect, and for them there's the new 32-inch MirageVision LCD from Global Outdoor Concepts. There's not a whole lot that sets this display apart from other
outdoor TVs on the market, but the specs aren't anything to scoff at neither. The 720p/1080i display manages a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, weighs 45 pounds and measures a mere 4-inches thick. Best of all, the unit can handle temperatures ranging from -25 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, along with rain, sleet, snow and sunshine. There's no HDMI or DVI to be seen here -- component is the best you can do for HD love -- but there's an optional wireless unit that should help keep your A/V equipment and cables out of the weather. The display should be going for around $4k whenever it drops.

Comon, that's not fair...
Just testing this new posting routine.
HOW UGLY IS THAT????
its very ugly... but so's ray mears, so i guess its just an outdoors thing.
Cons: No HDMI, NO DVI, Its $4000, Did I read theres no HDMI?
Pros: Ohhh no Pros, just Cons!
What is that an image of on the screen? Is that some that's a hell of a lot more interesting than the monitor itself....
Is that a screen-shot from the movie Stealth? That's almost a big of piece of garbage as that TV is!!!
I with you up there... What is that on the screen?
"Is that a screen-shot from the movie Stealth?"
I haven't seen stealth (I doubt I will with the reviews that movie got), but from the previews it looks like it.
Every time I read the headline to this story, it looks like Migraine Vision. Which works too, I guess....
I took a quick glance at the pic and I thought it was one of those cheap knockoff portable DVD players.
Tsk tsk... When I want to watch TV outside, I simply instruct Jeeves to buy another 60" plasma, and throw out the old, rain ruined one. All that effort to waterproof a TV? How wasteful!
Stealth? Hey, lets make a movie about AI powered military equipment that goes crazy and starts killing people, nobody has ever made a movie about that before!
