Ciil Technologies Outdoor Television Keeps Moisture Out

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets


It's the time of year when the big Sunday football games are on but the weather is still decent. But you don't have to choose between indoors and outside with the Ciil Technologies outdoor television. It is the first 100 percent, fully-sealed 1080p HD flat panel display. The Ciil design has zero vents or filters making it impossible for moisture or dust to collect inside. The ventless system keeps the internal components safely warmed in extreme cold and properly cooled in extreme heat without the need for exhaust ventilation. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness to best match the lighting conditions and an anti-reflective impact-resistant safety glass protects the screen against damage. It comes in three sizes, 32" - $2,800, 42" - $3,200 and 47" - $3,750.

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets



Bachelor pads and home theaters may be appropriate venues for making your flatscreen television the centerpiece of the room, but for those looking for something a little more original, a little more...artistic, Restoration Hardware offers this television easel.

Styled to look like an artist's easel, the flatscreen stand is crafted from mahogany, hand-lacquered, fitted with integrated storage for components and cables, and can accommodate screens up to 60 inches large. Plasma and LCD televisions that big don't come cheap, but then neither does this stand, at a nickel under a grand.

Mirror Collage Plasma TV Cabinet

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets


Some plasma televisions are works of art in and of themselves and to hide them would be a shame. But most aren't so fabulous and are better kept out of sight when not in use. There are lots of clever ways to conceal a flat-screen television - I've seen them behind panels, paintings and drapes as well as inside pop-up entertainment centers. But as far as a remedy to the unsightly black hole of the television, this one gets points for creativity. Wood-framed beveled mirrors of different sizes overlap in an artful arrangement that not only hides your flat-screen television, but adds light and space to your room. The overall dimensions are 71"W x 11"D x 51" and the cabinet will accommodate most 50" plasma televisions. $4649.
