TV turning into Mirror.

[Smokey]

The latest entry from Philips is its line of MiraVision televisions. These unique sets, designed to look like mirrors, offer dual functionality as both a reflective surface and a television. The sets, shown at CES 2006, will soon be available in 32 and 42-inch sizes, according to the company.

So how do they work? A reflective surface inside the television becomes visible when the set is turned off, instantly turning the device into a mirror. MiraVision can even function simultaneously as a mirror and a television. Viewers can choose to display TV on half the set and turn the other half off, bringing out its instantly reflective qualities.

That would be an expensive "mirror" to be mounted on the ceiling...unless you want to watch your favorites TV shows laying on your back :D
