Every day sees more evidence that people are spending their entire lives in the bathroom. Take TVs, for example: No longer is it unusual to find a waterproof flat screen situated above the sink, in the shower, or pretty much anywhere else one can imagine (which we'd rather not, thank you).

Instead, it's become a question of how big the bathroom TV is. And Aquavision has an answer, to the tune of a 57-inch LCD in full 1080p HD glory, according to Dvice, with a reflective screen that serves as a mirror when turned off.

All this is getting increasingly passe as the bathroom TV market gets, well, saturated. What we really want to see is a "Pimped Out John" for the masses.

This is fantastic technology. I couldn't find the 57" on the Aquavision web site. But, I found a company right here in the US that makes something similar. SEURA makes mirror/tv hybrids for the bathroom AND for primary tv-viewing. You can get all the way up to 65" HD LCDs.
