Sanyo has just announced its first weatherproof LCD TV, the 42-inch 42LM4WPN model. To stand from any unconditional environment, the TV comes with an anti-reflective, tamper-resistant glass to emit crystal clear HD signals that can work even under the rain. It also complies to the IP56 weather resistance standard already, just like those military gadgets used to be.

One highlighted feature is the PJ-NET organizer. It allows users to use the 42LM4WPN LCD TV as a computer monitor without additional driver / software, so one can take advantage of the TV to browse the internet or play some games. Regarding specs, it has a resolution of 1366 x 768, a brightness of 500cd/m2, a contrast ratio of 800:1, a viewing angle of 178 degree, and a response time of 8ms. It is also equipped with a VGA, HDMI (HDCP-compliant), RGBHV (BNC), component, composite, audio out, and an RS-232 serial port.
