Editor’s Picks: 5 Faves from CEDIA Expo 2009

You can say a lot of nice things about my house. It’s uniquely laid out. It’s spacious. It has an awesome view. But it’s definitely no high-tech wonderland. Built in the early 80s, it boasts no high-speed wiring network to support much of anything. Yes, I could always pay to have Category 5 routed throughout, but based on the obstacles we ran into when having satellite system wired up, I’d rather not. My poor broom closet has more holes in it than a slice of…

10 Pieces of A/V Furniture We Should Have Bought
EH Staff

3 Comments
Furniture?! What is furniture doing on ElectronicHouse.com, whose 95-percent male audience loves their manly amplifiers, speakers and big screens? Consumers can become so preoccupied with the aesthetics of A/V furniture that they forget about the high-tech features that make them an integral part of an entertainment system. That’s something that EH editors Julie Jacobson and Lisa Montgomery forgot when they bought their own media consoles on the merits of style (next page). Before you buy, make sure to consider these furniture features. And for the…

Review: OmniMount Power55 Motorized Wall Mount
Arlen Schweiger

My home is tiny, so every square foot is precious. My viewing appetite, on the other hand, is so large that our console-mounted 50-inch plasma TV overwhelms the family room. Let’s just say reviewing OmniMount’s Power55 motorized wall mount—one that tilts, pans and swivels—presented an ideal way to measure its space-saving benefits and other features. Mounting a flat-panel TV can be tackled yourself, but for larger sets of 42 inches or more, invite a few brawny friends over or hire a custom electronics pro—especially if…

Poof! Hiding That Big-Screen TV
Arlen Schweiger

Sometimes you feel like a TV nut, sometimes you don’t—and sometimes you don’t even want to see the thing. The owners of this modern colonial home didn’t want a blank big screen standing in the way of quaint window views when they weren’t watching TV in their formal living room. “There’s a large bank of windows where they wanted to put the TV, and they wanted to be able to look outside when they were listening to music,” says Paul Diggin, project principal for custom…

7 Tips to Downsizing Your Electronics
Lisa Montgomery

According to the U.S. Census Data, the median size of a home dipped in 2008. This is the first decline in 13 years, and home sizes are expected to drop in 2009. In this economy, it’s not surprising. Although people are opting for less square footage, there’s still plenty of room for electronics. “You just need to know how to maximize the space,” says Rich Conklin, a custom electronics (CE) professional at Grand Home Automation, Grand Rapids, Mich. “We’ve put $1 million worth of electronics…

Can Mounting a Flat Panel Really Be This Easy?
Jason Unger

The steps to mount a flat panel TV on your wall normally involve quite a bit of work, even for the seasoned do-it-yourselfer. OmniMount hopes to change that, with its new self-named omnimount. The company says installation takes only three steps: attach the panel spacers to the TV’s back, mount the wall brackets and hang the flat panel. Can it really be that easy? “At OmniMount, we pride ourselves on pushing the envelope to constantly offer our customers the most innovative mount solutions available. The…

How Do You Secure Your Big-Screen TV?

They’re not likening it to swine flu just yet, but NBC recently gave some Nightly News airtime to a report about the dangers of TVs when it comes to children’s safety. For anyone whose toddler likes to run up and push things—like TVs—or grab books and remotes from on top of the TVs, you know this can be a major hazard. Hopefully you haven’t encountered it. But NBC cited a study that found that in 2007 alone almost 17,000 children had ER visits because furniture…

Review: Peerless In-Wall Flat Panel TV Mount
Audioholics.com

When you purchase a flat panel, the biggest travesty (in my humble opinion) is to set it on a piece of furniture as if it is business as usual. With today’s available inventory of flat panel TV wall mounts, it’s insane to not want to place these beautiful masterpieces of technology up on the wall where they belong. And if you have an even newer flat panel display that is less than two inches in thickness, why not try to get that TV right up…

Mount Solves Room’s Poor Viewing Angles
Lisa Montgomery

Bonus rooms over garages are notorious for having slanted walls, angled ceilings and other structural abnormalities. With flat surfaces in short supply, it can be difficult to find a good spot for a plasma or LCD TV. Audio Input of Joplin, MO, devised a clever solution to this common problem while designing an entertainment system for a bonus room-turned-guest suite. The best location for a TV in a bedroom is typically the wall directly across from the bed. Unfortunately, in this project that particular wall…
