Pantel's Launching 20-, 52-, And 65-Inch PAN Series Outdoor LCD TV's, All Featuing Monster Price Tags

If you found those Pantel Outdoor LCD TV's we told you about a couple of months back kinda interesting, but weren't too thrilled with the sole 32- and 42-inch size offerings, maybe this'll pique your interest a little more. Pantel has just launched three more sizes: a 20-inch PAN-200 priced at $2999, a 52-inch PAN-520 priced at $9999, and finally a monster 65-inch PAN-650 that comes with an even-more-monster price tag of $25999 (this one's a special order). The huge price tags are paying for the outdoor, weatherproof convenience of these high-def LCD sets more than anything because the specs aren't anything extraordinary. The PAN-200 features 720p resolution, a 700:1 contrast ratio and a 16:9 aspect ratio, while the larger PAN-520 and PAN-650 can boast 1080p resolution, 2000:1 contrast ratio and 16:9 aspect ratio. Oh, and of course an included waterproof/weatherproof remote. The tech spec that should really be highlighted, but is really a must for outdoor HDTV's is the included 802.11a wireless package which will catch audio and video streams from up to 150 feet away.
