“Pantel Outdoor Weatherproof TVs have changed the way people entertain,” said Joe Pantel, CEO of Pantel Corp. in a press release. “With the weather being a threat to what most people can do outside to entertain, Pantel Corp. makes it easy without worry. Now, we offer even more solutions with five different screen sizes to meet the needs of nearly every application.”
“Our new larger screen sizes, the 65- and 52-inch, will make for the ultimate outdoor home theater experience. They can also be utilized for large venue consumer or commercial applications where bigger screens are required,” added Pantel.
All of Pantel's outdoor TVs are designed to be "rain/snow shielded," "wind/dust shielded," and feature screens the company says are suitable for "outdoor daytime use." They can be used in environments ranging from -40 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degress to 60 degrees Celsius).
