One TV, two rooms? Introducing the spinscreen360

We love scoops here at Sync, and this is a juicy one. Invented in Toronto, the spinscreen360 reinvents how (and where) you watch TV.
Ideal for condos, lofts and small homes, the spinscreen360 can best be described as a television mounting system that holds a flat-panel TV in a wall, between two rooms. That is, let’s say you’re watching a hockey game in the family room, and when you want to begin cooking dinner you can then spin the TV around, which might be backing onto the kitchen, so you don’t miss a thing.
Cool, huh? Great idea. I was recently given a demonstration of this patented technology in a real home and it worked like a charm.
Advantages of the spinscreen360 are that it maximizes your TV viewing in the home and you can position the TV anywhere within 360 degrees to get that perfect angle. It’s also a neat and tidy solution since you don’t see the cables (as they’re hidden in the wall); there’s a panel that covers the back of the TV (which can be made of almost anything to fit the decor of the room); and the television is actually in the wall and doesn’t protrude into either room.
“Here you have this wonderful slim television, but really doesn’t look that attractive when hung” says Claude Heimann, Director of Marketing at soloV solutions. “Instead, our belief was that the right place for a flat panel television is built into something, like in a wall, and you can watch TV from multiple rooms.”
“This space efficient product also has great appeal for people who are décor-conscious since you can customize the back to your liking.” “And, it’s less expensive than buying two televisions, so there is a good value proposition, too” adds Heimann.
Speaking of costs, the spinscreen360 (mount only) starts at $1,650 for a 32-inch television (up to $1900 for 46-inch TVs). With professional installation (recommended), the spinscreen360 costs $2,750 for 32-inch (up to $3,000 for 46-inches). If you want a television with the spinscreen360, the company has partnered with Sony and its Bravia LCD line, which starts at $4,449 (with installation) for the Sony Bravia 32-inch KDV32XBR2 and spinscreen360 – all the way up to $6,400 for the 46-inch DL46XBR3 and spinscreen360.

Yes sir, That is a great Idea, the spinscreen360. How can I not like it, many years ago I opened the wall separating my dining room and sitting/reading room and after framing it up just right put in a good hefty shelf and chucked one of my small portable TVs in there. I set it on a lazy Susan I had recouped from a kitchen Reno. I had done. worked just fine.
Glad to see someone has developed this into a swell package using the new screens that are now available. Good job, I will surly be recommending this one to people. The examples I viewed on the Spinscreen website are very refined looking and add an impressive amount of usefulness and sophistication to the rooms that are graced by this innovation.
Looking forward to seeing more. Ray
