Westinghouse's acrobatic HDTV

Mike Yamamoto | Apr 24, 2008

In our longstanding tradition of featuring gadgets that do yoga, Crave is pleased to announce a first in the illustrious category: A contortionist television set.

Westinghouse has created a flip-style HDTV that can actually be folded, to a degree, to fit into the most cramped areas and corners of any given abode. The front bezel of the dual-hinged Flexible Lifestyle Display can be rotated 180 degrees on a tabletop, according to Electronic House, or the TV can be suspended from the wall or bottom of a cabinet, trapeze-style.

The PT-16H610S must maintain a petite frame to accomplish these feats, so its LCD is no larger than 16 inches. The set has full 1080p high-definition resolution, but we're frankly not sure if that's really necessary: If you're installing this in a Manhattan apartment where a hot plate passes for a gourmet kitchen, for example, your nose will probably never be more than 2ft from the screen.
