Runco Weatherproof Plasma Is For Rich People Who Like Pina Coladas...
Posted by Wilson Rothman at 1:51 AM on October 24, 2007
...and getting caught in the rain. The $US9,000 Runco Climate Portfolio WP-42HD outdoor plasma is built to withstand "adverse environmental conditions including temperature, exposure to moisture, dust, oils and intermittent direct water spray." It has a sealed aluminium housing and internal ventilation, along with jacks that adhere to international weatherproof standards. It even has optimised circuitry to operate at temperatures as low as 20°C, for that ski-lodge hot-tub appeal. Still, at $9K, the 42" TV itself isn't terribly exciting: native resolution of 1366x768 and support for video up to 1080i only, and DVI with HDCP inputs but no HDMI. [Runco/Planar]

Screw the 42inch, $8200 dollar tv. Just sell me the case for $800.

Just a thought.
I could buy a Vizio and put it outdoors and if it gets ruined. Buy another one every year for eight years for the price of this one?

I'm pretty sure putting "who like Pina Coladas" after any people identifier is simply redundant.
