hmmmm 159,000.00 I guess in US dollars, I cant help but think it's a lil
over priced. The central obstruction looks to be massive. I think I would
much prefer the 43" I posted in the ATM section.

Looks to be well made though

I wonder how long it would take for me to damage the mirror, I'm not a really a clumsy person but a 100% exposed mirror scares me a little. I also couldn't find a price.
