Westinghouse's 16-Inch LCD HDTV Bends, but Doesn't Break

Portable TVs ain't exactly the most popular things around, but certain manufacturers do come up with some products of this type that actually manage to raise an eyebrow. And that's exactly the case with the latest announcement from Westinghouse Digital, who has just unveiled the PT-16H610S, a thin and flexible LCD HDTV HDTV that flips and folds to easily fit into any room in the home, especially the kitchen.

As the company informs us, the new PT-16H610S has a very sleek design and can sit on a countertop or be mounted on a wall or on the bottom of a hanging cabinet, with a full 180-degree rotation of the front bezel so the picture image is right side up.

Additionally, the set offers 480i/480p/720p/1080i/1080p HDMI input into native 1366 x 768 resolution with DayBright technology for high contrast for day and night viewing, built-in front-firing speakers (2-3.5 watts), and a 15.6-inch diagonal viewing area. The TV set also supports VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA+ PC resolutions and allows users to choose from the 3 preset color temperature values or to set their own value.

Other important features worth mentioning about the LCD panel itself are the contrast ratio (500:1), number of available colors (16.7-million), color gamut (65% NTSC). Furthermore, the panel covers 65% of the NTSC color gamut, has a 8 ms response time (rather average, for such a display) and 90/65-degree horizontal/vertical viewing angles.

The rather unusual PT-16H610S can only be pre-ordered for the time being and will sell for around 300 US dollars a pop, but there's no info on the exact time frame when the units will be delivered.
