Philips Introduces Mirror TV

UnknowingFool writes "PCWorld.com is reporting that Philips is introducing mirror TV. It is a combination mirror with LCD monitor that will be rolling out to hotels. The screens will be 1280 x 768 resolution and come in 17, 23, and 30 inch sizes. It reminds me of TV PiP where the main part is the mirror and the smaller part is the monitor. Philips hopes to install it in homes later."

    But why would anyone want a monitor in their mirror at home???

    For when you want to watch TV in the morning while shaving/washing/applying makeup? A mirror in the hallway that also shows when the Next Bus is coming along? A mirror over your wet bar that can show cocktail recipies via the Internet? A mirror in your main room that can also be a control panel for your TiVO/MP3 jukebox/digital camera gallery?

    "watching a newscast while naked and showering"

    a) We geeks don't see too well in the shower once our glasses get all fogged up and wet.

    b) Tom Brokaw is not has much to sign along too in the shower.

    c) Put in porno and people would be in there a little too long.

    I hear great things from my friend about his Samsung 15" 151MP. It's got a remote, too.

    The superstition came from France and it was true only when the maid broke the mirror. The rule was that she would have to work seven years for free for her employer.
