picture window screens

Post by mike0404 »

Hi
I plan to add thin hd tv screens wherever i can even blinding the "larger" windows. I will use cameras , probably one (maybe 2) for each port, bow and one aft stern. They will also be connected to my satellite tv and internet. I'll connect my dvd players to them. I will watch all the games i want.
This way i will not have my wife complaining about people peaking inside. She will be able to walk naked inside , no more blinds, except for the skylights.
This will beat the picture windows on the Leopard 44 catamaran. As much view as the bi-loup 30 but no washing the windows.
More power , so what. Mostly at the marina anyway , swiming pool , parties, etc etc
Lots of solar panels and wind turbines for anchorages .
This will be good in bad weather and night vision. I can zoom at the bow ...
Now i need to find a way to add a tv into the mac x toilet.

I was considering , brain storming, cutting out the sides and add 2 ft extensions and picture windows at both port sides, too much work. It would be a nice feature for the new Tattoo 26 ex. More headroom too, 6'-4" minimum ...

Has anyone tried screens additions ?
