RE: lcd bathroom project again - success yet?

["Jake Liddell" <jake.liddell@xxxxxxx>]

Or, if you fancy really doing it properly...

www.tilevision.tv

It has a heated screen, so it doesn't steam up, and the buttons are
designed to be toe-operated.  It also comes with a remote control for
set-up, and has a built in amplifier and ceiling waterproof speaker. Not
cheap though!

A long way down my project list, I plan on converting the loft into a
bedroom and on-suite bathroom.  I was wondering whether I could have a
revolving plasma or lcd set into the wall, so I could use it in either
room...  A few hurdles to overcome regarding mounting it, and twisted
wires, I'm sure.

Jake.

Umar,

A couple of thoughts:

For mounting the screen, sink an IP65 box into the wall, insert the
screen and seal the box with a clear perspex cover. Still have to work
out how to make it look "pretty" but it may give you a starting
point.
Alternatively, look at the industrial interfaces offered by the likes of
Siemens (some of their screens incorporate a PC built behind them).

Instead of a wireless keyboard, what about one of these ? (see the pic
at the bottom) http://www.clitheroelancs.co.uk/id8.htm
;-)

HTH,

Given the falling lcd screen prices, I am seriously considering putting
a 15" LCD screen in the bathroom, vga connection to the loft where I
can
site a mini-itx box, with RF keyboard and mouse to control it back in
the bathroom. I have cat5 into the loft, and so I can then access n0 for
divx, mp3, and web-browsing. I can run amplified speakers from mini-itx.


I know others have considered this in a bathroom - has anyone  completed
this project yet? Any tips on how to waterproof the screen?

Maybe given recent x-box thread I should consider putting an x-box in
the loft - but how do I control it, and can I view x-box on a VGA LCD?

Any ideas anyone?

Umar
