LED Video Table Plays Movies, Games
It's a cool concept but could ultimately be a pain in the neck.
Although not quite as nifty as an armored golf cart, the LED video table from Customized Designs would be rather cool to have in the living room or gaming area. According to the manufacturer, the device can connect to any video feed, whether its from a laptop or an iPod Touch.
This might be ideal when you want to play a game while the significant other watches soap operas on the TV, or if you want to display a subliminal message to keep those nasty feet off the furniture.
The drawback to this gadget is that it's not cheap by any means-- the basic version without video feeds costs just under $1499. For an additional $150, Customized Designs will throw in the LED underglow lighting as seen in the image. There's also an option to purchase a netbook with pre-programmed visuals, costing an extra $350.
The table actually looks rather simple: a 32-inch LCD screen mounted onto an upright backbox. The specs reveal that the tabletop consists of 3/8-inch glass to protect the LCD from spills and scratches. The actual dimensions of the box are 37 (W) x 25 (D) x 20 (H), and comes in various finishes.

waste of money
I could build this for $800 less... full featured...
I should start inventing thing. People buy the dumbest shit sometimes...
Whilst pretty, for any practical application this is utterly useless.
You might as well spend half as much and just put a tv on the floor, you'll cripple your neck fast either way...
That is LCD- still expensive. With the full arrival of LED, screens and lights in furniture will soon become usual in design.
i could see something like this fun at places like bars, though, sort of a waste unless you have the expendable income
does it have touch and sync options like the nice ones that Microsoft has?
I think it's mainly meant for a bar or restaurant application...judging by the other products they make
I don't think most people understand that this is intended for businesses, not individual consumers so don't complain about the price. $1500 isn't that much for a thriving business. Anyways, I still think Microsoft Surface would be way better than this because it actually has multi-touch.
I'm not sure i understand why you'd want one commercially or for home use. I'd rather just have a flatscreen LED frameless TV on the wall displaying whatever things i'd have displaying on this table in my business (if i had one
)
To be honest even if I was a rich man I'd have an issue getting something this stupid. I wouldn't play games on it, watch tv, surf the web.. Only thing it'd be used for is for a pretty screen saver to make it look cool.
Why would a business have a need for this? I sure can't think of anything other then something to say, "hey look what we have".
I ultimately think it's a bit much but I HONESTLY would love to have one! I just wouldn't want it solid like that.
