Maybe you need a waterproof TV. Crave describes, "[Sanyo's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shanling-ct90) unveiled their waterproof TV that caught attention during CeBIT last week. It appears they were showing off the sexily-named 42LM4WPR-E, a [42-inch HDTV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-rgb) that stands out among a sea of HDTVs (pun intended) by being one of the few waterproof models on the market today. Although, a waterproof TV does not have that much of a practical use in real life. Still, having one of those is cool." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Waterproof Tvs:** Opportunity for innovation in developing more advanced, versatile and practical waterproof TVs for outdoor use. - **Outdoor Entertainment:** Opportunity to create innovative outdoor entertainment solutions that go beyond traditional TVs, including interactive displays and smart technology. - **Water-resistant Electronics:** Opportunity to develop water-resistant technology for a wider range of consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, and audio devices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can explore opportunities to enhance their product line with waterproof and water-resistant devices. - **Hospitality and Leisure:** Hotels, resorts, and outdoor venues can invest in waterproof TVs and outdoor entertainment systems to enhance the guest experience. - **Outdoor Retail:** Outdoor retailers can expand their product offerings to include waterproof TVs and outdoor entertainment solutions for camping, boating, and RVing enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dazzling Weatherproof TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvox-deck-pro-qled.md) - [Waterproof Bathroom TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-smart-magic-mirror-bathroom-tv.md) - [Weather-Resistant Outdoor TV Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-tv-series.md) - [Outdoor-Centric Smart Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrace-full-sun.md) - [Weatherproof 4K TV Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furrion-aurora-sun.md) - [Patio-Ready Outdoor TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ep400ab55r.md) - [Foldable Outdoor TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-seed.md) - [Sculptural Outdoor 4K Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-seed-n1-outdoor-tv.md) - [Premium Camouflage Television Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rca-1.md)
