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… View this story

Furniture?! What is furniture doing on ElectronicHouse.com, whose 95-percent male audience loves their manly amplifiers, speakers and big screens?

Before you buy, make sure to consider these furniture features. And for the… View this story

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… View this story

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… View this story

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… View this story

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.

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… View this story

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… View this story

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… View this story
