Hanspree Lifestyle TV's
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "HARDWARE" @ 07:00 AM
"Call it thinking outside the box: Taiwanese electronics outfit Hannspree is literally revolutionizing the way we look at TV. Behold the company’s newest invention, a signature line of flat-screen 9.6” to 23” LCD sets modeled in dozens of unlikely shapes from dogs to fire trucks, cellos, soccer balls and sailboats. The brainchild of Yu-Chi Chiao, chairman of HannStar, the world’s fifth largest maker of liquid crystal displays, over 120 models will be rolling out this October. Units are available for direct order from www.hannspree.com and the company’s Beverly Hills and San Francisco retail outlets at prices ranging from $449.99 to $1399."
I saw these in a magazine a while ago, and they look pretty interesting. In a marketplace full of look-alike flat panel TVs, each one with identical specifications, this may be the only way to stand out above the rest. Hanspree is a self-admitted "design-centric" company, which is refreshing to see these days. It seems like most consumer electronics are just cookie-cutter copies of every other product out there.
