Sanyo’s LVT-WD40 waterproof portable TV

November 19th, 2007 | Category: Portable Video

For a couple seconds there we couldn’t fairly figure out what we’d do with a waterproof portable TV to shout our very own, since jogging through the rain while watching our favorite shows on 1seg seems a little bit melodramatic, but Sanyo says its aiming that LVT-WD40 thing at bathroom and kitchen usage, which makes a bit increasingly sense. Features are pretty standard, the 4-inch LCD sports a 480 x 272 resolution,

and Sanyo claims about six hours of battery life. Unfortunately, while the player can be used anywhere — including being fully submerged in a bathtub — its media capabilities seems to be increasingly limited, since there’s no media compatibility to speak of beyond the standard 1seg TV access. that one’s selling on the 21st in Japan for 50,000 yen ($453 US).
