Trident has introduced two waterproof widescreen televisions from Videotree that are approved for wet room applications. The new LCD television sets are available in a 17.1 inch in-wall or wall mount type or a 7.2 inch size that is designed to be stand-alone, so it can be mounted virtually anywhere in a bathroom using a "swan-neck" arm. The 7.2 inch version also features auto screen reverse if the unit is inverted, providing extra flexibility in use. The smaller unit can be connected as a slave to a main bedroom or lounge television, allowing entertainment or information to be extended into another room, such as a bathroom.

Each TV is safe to use in a wet-room environment meeting IP65 sealing requirements and including suitable external speakers. An appropriate 12Vdc, 3.0A power adapter is included as well as a waterproof remote control unit. The units can also be customised with a variety of coloured front inlays and backplates to complement surrounding décor or branding.

The widescreen LCD panels enable a very slim outline, while each has an integrated digital receiver allowing delivery of free-to-air and subscription digital channels. The units are multi-standard PAL/SECAM/NTSC, allowing easy integration into designs intended for sale in major markets throughout Europe, Asia and the Americas. The screens are video quality TFT-LCDs, having high brightness and contrast ratios for clear and easy viewing.

With the larger version it is possible to deliver power, audio, radio, television, video and security camera feeds via a single coaxial cable, enabling rapid connection to numerous services without extensive and unsightly wiring.
