Why Parallel AV custom televisions

We've been building custom televisions for nearly fifteen years. We've learned what works and what doesn't, and we know how to truly customize an in-wall television to meet your every need.

Parallel AV televisions are easy enough for a handyman to install

One

Factory, where all design, production, and quality assurance happens

One

Consistent point of contact throughout the entire process

Zero

Surprises. What you sign off on is exactly what you get.

Hand-assembled in our own factory

We design and build all of our televisions in our own factory, by hand. This allows us to control every precise measurement of your custom television, every single part that goes into its production, and the end-to-end QA and inspection process along the way.

It really is a partnership

You get a real plan and price within 24 hours of providing your requirements, and we don’t start building until you’ve signed off on the full design. No guessing, no surprises, and a real person on the other end the whole way through.

TVs for virtually any room and environment

Our TVs are built from durable glass and steel to go where other televisions can’t. Bathroom showers, kitchen cabinets, saunas, living rooms, pool rooms, bar backs, gyms, retail, restaurants. If you can describe it, we’ve probably already built for it.

Custom packaging, too

We design and build our shipping packaging just as carefully as the television. Every custom TV is unique, with its own nuances. Our shipping packaging is specifically designed for each individual project to ensure its protection while it’s on its way to you.

Handyman Approved

Simple to install or hang, including the required brackets for in-wall installation. Any handyman can get it done. You probably can, too.

Flexibile options

Prefer to hang your TV on the wall or fasten it to an adjustable mount? We have you covered. Worried that our TV won’t fit your cabinets? We have options. And if you need something custom-made, our custom shop can likely get it done.

Perfect for the Shower

Our bathroom TVs are IPX4-certified and install flush into the wall. This means they're certified splash-proof and out of the way when installed in a shower.

Built for direct steam and splash

Our TVs are IPX4-certified to handle splashing and steam from any direction. That’s the certification that matters in a shower environment, where steam and water contact are constant rather than occasional.

Flush into the wall

Our shower TVs install directly into your shower wall, flush with the tile. No edges protrude into the shower space, there’s no visible mount, and nothing to catch water or interrupt the design of the room.

The right size for the right distance

Shower viewing distances are short: typically four to six feet. A 24″ screen is the right starting point for most shower installations, delivering a sharp, comfortable picture at close range without overwhelming the space.

This mirror TV is built into the wall using a special box, and the cover on the case additionally protects all wires from moisture. Vibration speakers are placed behind the glass, they provide clear and surround sound. If you want, you can also connect amplifiers and soundbars.

Space saving style

Because our Kitchen Cabinet Televisions integrate into your cabinetry, they don’t take up the counter space of a standard or under-cabinet television. And because they replace only the cabinet door, you can still use all the cabinet space behind them.

Modern, clean integration

Our Kitchen Cabinet Televisions come in white, black or Magic Mirror finishes to complement any modern kitchen. And they integrate directly into your cabinetry, just like a built-in microwave or oven. You’ll forget there’s a TV there. Until you turn it on.

Fits standard cabinetry

Our 24” Kitchen Cabinet TVs come in 455x600mm and 382х600mm forms. Our 32” models are sized at 756x514mm. These are all standard cabinet widths, meaning there’s an option for nearly all kitchen cabinet plans and designs.

Installable
In-wall

Our televisions are built to sit flush within the wall, creating a seamless finish where mirror TVs look exactly like mirrors and sauna or bathroom TVs stay out of your way. Traditional wall mounting works too.

Thin enough for virtually any wall.

Our largest televisions require fewer than three inches of in-wall depth for a flush installation. And that required depth shrinks as you move to smaller TVs.
