" electronics design and installation association it is a yearly trade show for people who either make the products or install the products. That we all know not. And I have a lot to do at home theater so that keeps -- it's like the people who normally do you know high end audio and video installations so that sales dealers also training to a lot CA university is a huge installation -- just. Every course related to pretty much every aspect of either management's sales. Installation of course. Testing verification of the block you can do it all there the deep dark secret that they don't talk rat is a lot of the products you think are -- at CES were actually revealed its -- so what did you see. So a lot of great things of course -- these are always popular two manufacturers introduced new and I call them affordable 65 inch LCD screens. Sharp and Samsung now these are. 120 hurts that's not only be eliminated they're actually just the standard fluorescent eliminated. And sharply reduce the 77 UN series and Samsung introduced the V6 fifty series -- smaller sizes as well but. They go to 65 inches which -- the via. A premium spot but now you can. He could afford that what's an affordable 65 inch LCD flat panel listing for around four grand. But that should dive fairly soon after release that I can -- bite my truck begin or buy a flat panel. -- think maybe you're looking to replace that that we're projections that or something like that and you need a bigger screen to kind of make up for that. There ego that's like four -- is exciting. Also sharp showed off some new -- backlit LCD televisions as well. Now they also had a very cool demo setup where they cut corner of the screen Aussie could see through the diffuse layer. -- With you'll do local -- and other features like so is there diffusion layer in front of the LEE before it's of the flat panel called a multi multiple layers and everything from diffusion to Guiding Light and getting it just right so when it hits that. LCD crystal layer on the pop. For the in my public life that boom right up front or their friends all in loose and now. They're not back but other stuff it's actually it's pretty amazing technology when you see all the multiple layers are going to the surface of the screen itself what's going on with Samsung. Sampling introduced their new flagship model actually had an obviously working to be 8500 series is actually an upgrade to the model where behind us. This is gonna be they're directly L leading backlit model meaning that they can do things like local dimming -- gonna have of course real tools to technology. One point six inches thick now that's to me is the big deal because that 8950 we have behind us four and a half inches thick that was last year's top gun. The new 11 point six inches thick with that direct. Like technology which that's pretty impressed me. But for the car these -- like have the weight or double horsepower accidentally hear over and gives us less than half -- back. Which was pretty impressive -- it's an exciting stuff going on with pioneer Panasonic. Leadership -- I had seen before and it's called managed copy this will be new Blu-ray feature coming up hopefully next year but there -- from the prototype box called. Not eat -- it's essentially -- the set top boxes got a pair they had demo with a terabyte hard drive and it. With supported Blu-ray discs available put one hand. And managed copy means it would create a copy of that video. Right on the hard drive and -- pick this -- but back your library that's affordably reducing this critical of course because every time anybody does of the alleges a copy dvds. In an encrypted format to a media player they get sued in. Will close to put out of business by the MPAA unbelievable so this hopefully awaits it legitimately create your own media server with high Def con because it'll only work if the studio buys into it allows them to. Totally can they were they were using I believe it Disney title as their demo disk -- the show floor. Hopefully receive this next year there was no time."

" I'm glad for that but of course the each apple supports things like streaming multimedia content local video and online features of the well blah blah blah projectors. All sorts of cool about the -- if you love home theater -- projectors are worth that. My favorite hobby store on screen with their showing off the -- these are just. Retractable screen systems that people who want them attached to the wall. And have cool -- accent lighting that you can manipulate any color you want as well as the the the screen case itself can be colored anyway what. Not a lot of it's it's it's it's worth every penny I'll tell -- about that. It's you could spend on marketing which screen you end up putting in it what size you want it to be so I'd say. Accomplice in like 1500 probably -- opposite problem. -- bigger and bigger he's been willing until we have to talk about. -- coast a little later on finally get a really do and it's a disputed the idea that. One of the cool things they had on display it was two companies actually were showing off some of the first. LE -- front projectors that I've seen that could actually put out enough like to be usable now seem to and bronco pull that products on display. These are expensive are these are two above premium front projector companies out there so we're talking starting prices at about 15000 dollars on up to about 25000 dollars. A lot of money but this is first gen stuff with brightness that you can actually use. Now Joel Silver is the head honcho at bias that the imaging science foundation actually had one of the bronco quality projectors in his hand. And was able to suck it up and test environment and achieved it 241. Contrast ratio and a lab environment now does sound like a lot but in the world front projectors. I have not seen any greater than that really is just that is epic that is -- black. Because it also the single chip deal. There's the possibility that you could end up with some of the rainbow artifacts like priest who won a single chip -- rear projection TVs which is really annoying I movies that you especially black and white are highly contrasting content as well I've always seen it now they're claiming that you'll see it in past patterns you won't see it real world content that's cool. We'll see if somebody actually gets one of these their hands what about less expensive projectors. Optima they had -- course introduced that 997999. Front projector with 1080. I thought that was pretty neat but even more -- often another -- Companies were demonstrating front projectors. That added -- question base smoothing similar to that effect you get with -- 120 Hertz or to order forty -- televisions cool. I hate the way they look at it that's it was really weird looking front projector doing that's moving. It's effect compared to say it like you're almost used to nowadays and LCD television. Did you had the don't call it EVR category well there. Couple of companies are introducing new products not sure what that's the -- open that box and Yamaha as a product called the -- HD media controller. They're doing everything possible not to call these. An audio video receiver they just want to say hey look we have additionally amplify box it supports a lot of different Kodak's. It will stream your continue to from online or through your home network. And I think he's gonna become very popular devices and there were also size to fit more in line with your other components like your Blu-ray players -- HD 3-D gas sounds ridiculous now -- this has been talked about for quite awhile we're seeing it down commercial cinema. But Panasonic has the best darn tech I've seen so far they caught -- HD 3-D it is using plasma technology because plaza pixels and updates so quickly. They can actually drive 1080. Full day of course now the problem is you're still wearing the liquid crystal shutter glasses there are getting smaller but. You do have to wear those -- the airport there give you full 1080. -- can get past the glasses I would watch and finally on compressed a few my wireless. Lots of companies LG Sony and Panasonic were all showing off. On compressed 1080. These are now coming into the market we should be seeing these anytime now. It's no more wires between the TV and the receiver part it is we have just power cords power or at least for just the TV. You have to separate receiver box that has all of your video. Sources connect to that and transmit wirelessly to this and you're torturing me could you say somebody's got satellite TV. Of what you premium premium it's satellite TV channels into a home theater PC yet. DISH Network has that down a DISH Network as a demo where they were showing off. Using. Pretty standard set top boxes that incorporate hard drives -- I think but it was USB connected to a computer running Windows Media Player. And it was showing off a full demo being able to access that satellite content through the windows media interface. And that all of the other things you can think of doing with that like extending its -- Xbox-360 or somewhere else in the living room. Solid they have no plans to release they get there were trying to get feedback is if you really want. Give difficulty you know what I heard about that and interest -- back."

" Is somebody who wanted it from DirecTV waded through years until November of 2008 when it was canceled it would be nice to have satellite ticket interface for the home theaters PC.

" So. It's time. Every Saturday you are now how would your television woody Watson. I'm watching the breaks that chase that dot NASCAR dot. My favorite feed probably right now and discover that moto GP is not an HB in your -- US. I have no idea. As the premier motorcycle racing to (%expletive) you off it least they're cropping the four by three frame to sixteen by nine without doing a weird stretcher anything but that's that's a good morning. But it might NASCAR's in the last ten races for the championship and I'm all over that every Sunday and of course but all. American football is back I've completely avoiding football -- possibly would have access to it. My -- got to the point we're watching like his favorite movie over and over again which right now is Pixar is cars. I've been watching all of the details background could see it dvds from the texture on the track and the tires. In the unbelievable just the amount of details secret -- I credible the texture actually I didn't notice until later on but if you watch him go at it and eventually he -- a little -- the plaza around is actually a little Volkswagen Beetle wings of the is that the Blu-ray you can actually see them in the opening like the opening scene when they're bumping up against the and the Italian tire shop owners the one who wears the Italian -- He's got that we get so detailed and has site. He'd do it touches you basically say it picks up you can vehicle these things -- What this coming up when -- this week we have at."

" Resurrected and battle for -- plug his book. Born in the ghosts of girlfriends past God's -- well that ends the better beat snow which sounds awesome. Plus one of my favorite comedy -- or not my favorite comedy from our favorite high end Blu-ray collection. Yeah on the food from the criterion collection -- into the mystery begins Shaun of the -- another agreed to split. Terminator the Sarah Connor chronicles the complete second season Wallace and Gromit the complete collection put that behind the moment it hits the street and a whole -- Star -- goodness. Star track of everything -- fan including Star Trek first contact the contract for next iteration motion picture collection. Star Trek the original series it isn't true contract undiscovered country Star Trek the voyage home Star Trek around the -- What simply structured Oklahoma. I apparently Paramount's just the film. Okay this is valid special Star -- anniversary of the if the Blu-ray hopefully they don't really an extra effort to that would mean I would hope so and he like bond courts are structured so they can -- bad transfer that it could transfer in the abide by them. They also released this week for the boomers and the boomer wannabes in the house -- as in the festival. In 1967 the complete collection features acts like Janice Joplin Simon and Garfunkel the -- in the populist and more like country until the fifth opening the show would be after she. But because he plays -- shake those -- with the force it to Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding at the Monterey pop festival and if you want to hold back. Everything you get together it -- complete Monterey pop festival. Well yeah actually you're into the hole sixteen GB thing that they're pretty -- public audience caught on -- that would. Well that'll print the -- that. It is in any case coming up next we're gonna finish up quite miserable war mount installation or mr. here it'll make fun of me of course we take a moment think what our response --"

" like the -- it's a solid portable media player interface is good the audio quality is excellent the Zune HD though this is slightly different beast in its recent questions from the East Asian group. Why would -- hard courts he can't hear about a personal media player because there's. Is there anything to offer 720. We're all theater shows we're not gonna -- that is due date these built in -- radio the quality audio playback it really engaging interface. Actually really like the new interface it is really sweet. So is being gorgeous three point regionally these multi touch screen which is sixteen by nine but not actually -- resolution -- although we're but it looks really really good. -- the latest Zune software release which is. The confusing at first but is really engaging in the way combines elements of your personal collection the downloadable soon collection stuff -- kind of brings it all together. Well we are gonna talk about his visit HD Connecticut to your HDTV. Yes there is that."

" Really 720. And a good TV. And I got fat little battles are flat game here we get unfinished business. Yeah."

" It looks. Gorgeous but that doesn't come out. Out of the basic Zune HD which cost 220 bucks for sixteen gigabytes and 290 bucks for 32 gigabytes. To get the HDMI output you need -- optional nine. TV doc comes of the nice remote is -- you don't get it backwards basically. The book you know. Owning the little symmetrical it's a little symmetrical but the truth is as the button that is important is concave and at the top of the control. Versus if you hold at the wrong way like I did a few minutes ago which caused mr. appeared to mock you openly now. I -- design you did law designed but actually hit it if if -- competent in handling your -- it's not you back. It yet it is actually pretty that's about it simple and obviously takes after the iPods school -- urgency the apple TV school promotes. Actually comes in HDMI cables and happy Q my cable component cable in the box while dock itself but it is ninety dollars to get. The remote control and high -- output. The video from the Zune store looks awesome but he is not cheap and it's done by Microsoft stupid point system. Like the points system. What is the point system -- okay so in this case it's the Xbox-360 points system in this case it's there's going points system I don't know if we're interchangeable but the point and it is. It's fifteen bucks to buy 1200 points to eat he movie. To buy at least the ones I -- that would 1440 points in each episode of Battlestar Galactica 240 points a -- the episode of a favorite children's program the backyard begins with a 140 points. And out of that particularly translate well in my head into what you've bought enough stuff you think in terms of points the dollars I just rather have a dollar amounts. And that's like my first downsize the contents not cheap it is -- high quality but it is not -- how the performance downloading back up. Fairly fast it's been kind of big justice basically they'd they'd be updated not just their releases it -- the they have the new version of the Zune software -- apparently like they shut down the whole back and in the process of launching the new software application in the new Mac and for that so this -- it's been kind of hammered but it was still fairly fast but we're looking like 2030 minutes for pretty have to go look -- that said how I was about 20/20 25 minutes for 830 to 45 minute television show. I expect that's going to drop as these sort of initial frenzy around the launch it is an HDs. Kind of winds itself down -- I get it I'm gonna Blu-ray movie. On sale for about fifty bucks I certainly don't be -- of the top resolution now granted portability is nice though. Portability is nice I gotta say though this is also not replace it free universal set top box it does support W and B mpeg four executives for. In DVR and -- that recorded video from windows media center but it does not. Support DivX or MTV files which means peer to -- pirates will find this useless without spending a lot of time transco and all of their video you can pretty much say the same thing for the iPod touch -- which doesn't have the HDMI output at least not without adopted doesn't exist that we haven't seen yet. Look this is an outstanding portable media player the dock is great for playback on HT TV. I think this would be great for Lincoln that you have to -- that one business hotel in in Vegas by the hard rock where they have huge Asian TV screens in every room and HDMI input for everything it's easy to access. That would be great right. But if only one is a set top box to stream store and -- movies would probably go day dedicated set top box but if you are looking for a non iPod portable player that can do -- output. This one's definitely worth considering. But as an AC is definitely not cheap especially if you spring for the eight TV doc which is gonna run you ninety bucks who. What you think about the willingly screen in terms of usability performance what with snappy. The only the screen is gorgeous."

" Which -- looking at right now is it playing video in the hand held version. And I'm gonna pop back out of bats in check it out right so we've. Basically go to the setter to tap what it once there's into the radio. It is Christmas an enemy he's snappy it's gorgeous Steve and -- awesome and then I just I really like the current interface on there the -- quickly set -- is pretty awesome."

" It's not cheap but it looks good. Beautiful so I finally got my -- you were here last week now this. The you'd be blessed in measuring and checking for steroids before you yank your old EC TV now off the wall twice cut once. In any case what are my show support was occupying a critical location. That in front of the stunt where we wanted to and the ACTV now. Thankfully it -- tool and three or four cutting blades. Helping cure that problem here's how the rest of our experiment. Within -- in HDTV and now went down."

" Up last week we were studied he says it's. We're here eight years in this day session. -- in the way so I grabbed my dribble tool cut off Leo. It never actually use that's -- before. That's what we'll -- this looks like he's slated to the left or right as it approaches. Would behind there. If you Mark. McLemore allowed. Mark going into the right in between those -- is this. If and we have yeah. It's done -- when he threw an approach to get the white powder -- gypsum and advocates saw this coming out and who better to. -- And hang this on there where position at that we're gonna throw the bottom ones. Continue in the messy process."

" That's their covers. -- I'm still monitored to arm assembly."

" Another -- going to be one team before 5678. -- fasteners. So you -- these teachers up here. I've let you put things we go but why is always -- secure them now which usually catch the TV before it catches the ball now. In this case to single poll -- here make sure everything is set up tight -- whatever watchers. Basically like -- back. -- watchers they give you that help keep that from pulling out that's pretty critical to. We're gonna -- playground at cable way -- gonna wanna play around the lay out before you start that time it in strapping down right now though they -- him in the we're gonna get those cables running it looks --"

" Are you can -- it took about two minutes to hang with what they can actually. Reach the studs who do yourself a favor don't be like me get out the stud finder in the measuring tape first before you start tearing apart the living room. Now despite measuring the mount the mount position on the TV -- vision on the wall and estimating the -- I still ended up adjusting the height of the brackets who would be a bit higher up. It happens. The really nice thing though about the new -- is that even if my little guy just try to do pull ups again he's gonna have to gain a lot of weight before he plus the television exceed the weight rating on the mount. Look there are dozens if not hundreds of AT TV now from slim designs that arms as significant practically reached another room but the basics. Properly securing them to a stud with the right hardware are gonna remain the same. At least for wood studs if you're a newer home -- it -- does give me a favor let -- your HT TV now he's going to email we -- nation can't revision3.com.

" Briefly got to -- for James he's got a common question he writes and I'm gonna video at 37 inch TV it's -- 720. 1080 I inputs what I get a better -- the picture if I use that 1080 I."

" mr. here well. Chances are that TV has has an actual pixel resolution the screen itself is probably thirteen 66 by 768 done done done comment HD resolutions what's in between it's it's in between seven point he antennae. Well it's actually just over a million pixels. Actually very close to 720. Said at the 1080 I because really you do have extra vertical resolution that you could take advantage of if the TV is doing a good job at the generally that 1080 I signal -- what that most are out as -- we've you have an older model like I'd view it may do it absolutely awful job. -- It's tough because I always and a usually don't sanity I would set top boxes just for a variety of reasons but if there's a lot of content out there that actually shot intended line video. -- the degrees. We get to have one more question do it. It's another classic question Chris writes it is a reason for me to go out and buy a digital audio coaxial cable or -- the same exact signal by just you rich people RCA cable. -- He had ran out of -- he had -- coaxial digital input on the back is receiver. Found any cable just make that connection work as long as this and decent shape. If you can grapple with a video cables like the other art collector -- and that the white for left right audio and having yellow cable the yellow cables actually usually she'll little bit better so. That might help you probably won't notice a difference either way and yet I mean you're basically what it's a digital out what you're hearing zeros and ones that actually carry all the cool waves in there you're just carrying bits that totally swept -- avoid avoid something -- excessively long that's the only thing I can think of it might cause problems but if the short three -- on our three but -- You're going to be also avoid. You know excessive expense because -- the feeling stupid and you realize that sends exactly the same as it you know fifty -- I like him at the bottom of the cracker Jack box. Where that seventeen -- stereo you forgot about. It's amazing what you could buy the cable box office."

We'll see if somebody actually gets one of these their hands what about less expensive projectors. Optima they had -- course introduced that 997999. Front projector with 1080. I thought that was pretty neat but even more -- often another -- Companies were demonstrating front projectors. That added -- question base smoothing similar to that effect you get with -- 120 Hertz or to order forty -- televisions cool. I hate the way they look at it that's it was really weird looking front projector doing that's moving. It's effect compared to say it like you're almost used to nowadays and LCD television. Did you had the don't call it EVR category well there. Couple of companies are introducing new products not sure what that's the -- open that box and Yamaha as a product called the -- HD media controller. They're doing everything possible not to call these. An audio video receiver they just want to say hey look we have additionally amplify box it supports a lot of different Kodak's. It will stream your continue to from online or through your home network. And I think he's gonna become very popular devices and there were also size to fit more in line with your other components like your Blu-ray players -- HD 3-D gas sounds ridiculous now -- this has been talked about for quite awhile we're seeing it down commercial cinema. But Panasonic has the best darn tech I've seen so far they caught -- HD 3-D it is using plasma technology because plaza pixels and updates so quickly. They can actually drive 1080. Full day of course now the problem is you're still wearing the liquid crystal shutter glasses there are getting smaller but. You do have to wear those -- the airport there give you full 1080. -- can get past the glasses I would watch and finally on compressed a few my wireless. Lots of companies LG Sony and Panasonic were all showing off. On compressed 1080. These are now coming into the market we should be seeing these anytime now. It's no more wires between the TV and the receiver part it is we have just power cords power or at least for just the TV. You have to separate receiver box that has all of your video. Sources connect to that and transmit wirelessly to this and you're torturing me could you say somebody's got satellite TV. Of what you premium premium it's satellite TV channels into a home theater PC yet. DISH Network has that down a DISH Network as a demo where they were showing off. Using. Pretty standard set top boxes that incorporate hard drives -- I think but it was USB connected to a computer running Windows Media Player. And it was showing off a full demo being able to access that satellite content through the windows media interface. And that all of the other things you can think of doing with that like extending its -- Xbox-360 or somewhere else in the living room. Solid they have no plans to release they get there were trying to get feedback is if you really want. Give difficulty you know what I heard about that and interest -- back."

" Is somebody who wanted it from DirecTV waded through years until November of 2008 when it was canceled it would be nice to have satellite ticket interface for the home theaters PC.

" like the -- it's a solid portable media player interface is good the audio quality is excellent the Zune HD though this is slightly different beast in its recent questions from the East Asian group. Why would -- hard courts he can't hear about a personal media player because there's. Is there anything to offer 720. We're all theater shows we're not gonna -- that is due date these built in -- radio the quality audio playback it really engaging interface. Actually really like the new interface it is really sweet. So is being gorgeous three point regionally these multi touch screen which is sixteen by nine but not actually -- resolution -- although we're but it looks really really good. -- the latest Zune software release which is. The confusing at first but is really engaging in the way combines elements of your personal collection the downloadable soon collection stuff -- kind of brings it all together. Well we are gonna talk about his visit HD Connecticut to your HDTV. Yes there is that."

" Really 720. And a good TV. And I got fat little battles are flat game here we get unfinished business. Yeah."

" It looks. Gorgeous but that doesn't come out. Out of the basic Zune HD which cost 220 bucks for sixteen gigabytes and 290 bucks for 32 gigabytes. To get the HDMI output you need -- optional nine. TV doc comes of the nice remote is -- you don't get it backwards basically. The book you know. Owning the little symmetrical it's a little symmetrical but the truth is as the button that is important is concave and at the top of the control. Versus if you hold at the wrong way like I did a few minutes ago which caused mr. appeared to mock you openly now. I -- design you did law designed but actually hit it if if -- competent in handling your -- it's not you back. It yet it is actually pretty that's about it simple and obviously takes after the iPods school -- urgency the apple TV school promotes. Actually comes in HDMI cables and happy Q my cable component cable in the box while dock itself but it is ninety dollars to get. The remote control and high -- output. The video from the Zune store looks awesome but he is not cheap and it's done by Microsoft stupid point system. Like the points system. What is the point system -- okay so in this case it's the Xbox-360 points system in this case it's there's going points system I don't know if we're interchangeable but the point and it is. It's fifteen bucks to buy 1200 points to eat he movie. To buy at least the ones I -- that would 1440 points in each episode of Battlestar Galactica 240 points a -- the episode of a favorite children's program the backyard begins with a 140 points. And out of that particularly translate well in my head into what you've bought enough stuff you think in terms of points the dollars I just rather have a dollar amounts. And that's like my first downsize the contents not cheap it is -- high quality but it is not -- how the performance downloading back up. Fairly fast it's been kind of big justice basically they'd they'd be updated not just their releases it -- the they have the new version of the Zune software -- apparently like they shut down the whole back and in the process of launching the new software application in the new Mac and for that so this -- it's been kind of hammered but it was still fairly fast but we're looking like 2030 minutes for pretty have to go look -- that said how I was about 20/20 25 minutes for 830 to 45 minute television show. I expect that's going to drop as these sort of initial frenzy around the launch it is an HDs. Kind of winds itself down -- I get it I'm gonna Blu-ray movie. On sale for about fifty bucks I certainly don't be -- of the top resolution now granted portability is nice though. Portability is nice I gotta say though this is also not replace it free universal set top box it does support W and B mpeg four executives for. In DVR and -- that recorded video from windows media center but it does not. Support DivX or MTV files which means peer to -- pirates will find this useless without spending a lot of time transco and all of their video you can pretty much say the same thing for the iPod touch -- which doesn't have the HDMI output at least not without adopted doesn't exist that we haven't seen yet. Look this is an outstanding portable media player the dock is great for playback on HT TV. I think this would be great for Lincoln that you have to -- that one business hotel in in Vegas by the hard rock where they have huge Asian TV screens in every room and HDMI input for everything it's easy to access. That would be great right. But if only one is a set top box to stream store and -- movies would probably go day dedicated set top box but if you are looking for a non iPod portable player that can do -- output. This one's definitely worth considering. But as an AC is definitely not cheap especially if you spring for the eight TV doc which is gonna run you ninety bucks who. What you think about the willingly screen in terms of usability performance what with snappy. The only the screen is gorgeous."

" Which -- looking at right now is it playing video in the hand held version. And I'm gonna pop back out of bats in check it out right so we've. Basically go to the setter to tap what it once there's into the radio. It is Christmas an enemy he's snappy it's gorgeous Steve and -- awesome and then I just I really like the current interface on there the -- quickly set -- is pretty awesome."

" It's not cheap but it looks good. Beautiful so I finally got my -- you were here last week now this. The you'd be blessed in measuring and checking for steroids before you yank your old EC TV now off the wall twice cut once. In any case what are my show support was occupying a critical location. That in front of the stunt where we wanted to and the ACTV now. Thankfully it -- tool and three or four cutting blades. Helping cure that problem here's how the rest of our experiment. Within -- in HDTV and now went down."

" Up last week we were studied he says it's. We're here eight years in this day session. -- in the way so I grabbed my dribble tool cut off Leo. It never actually use that's -- before. That's what we'll -- this looks like he's slated to the left or right as it approaches. Would behind there. If you Mark. McLemore allowed. Mark going into the right in between those -- is this. If and we have yeah. It's done -- when he threw an approach to get the white powder -- gypsum and advocates saw this coming out and who better to. -- And hang this on there where position at that we're gonna throw the bottom ones. Continue in the messy process."

" That's their covers. -- I'm still monitored to arm assembly."

" Another -- going to be one team before 5678. -- fasteners. So you -- these teachers up here. I've let you put things we go but why is always -- secure them now which usually catch the TV before it catches the ball now. In this case to single poll -- here make sure everything is set up tight -- whatever watchers. Basically like -- back. -- watchers they give you that help keep that from pulling out that's pretty critical to. We're gonna -- playground at cable way -- gonna wanna play around the lay out before you start that time it in strapping down right now though they -- him in the we're gonna get those cables running it looks --"

" Are you can -- it took about two minutes to hang with what they can actually. Reach the studs who do yourself a favor don't be like me get out the stud finder in the measuring tape first before you start tearing apart the living room. Now despite measuring the mount the mount position on the TV -- vision on the wall and estimating the -- I still ended up adjusting the height of the brackets who would be a bit higher up. It happens. The really nice thing though about the new -- is that even if my little guy just try to do pull ups again he's gonna have to gain a lot of weight before he plus the television exceed the weight rating on the mount. Look there are dozens if not hundreds of AT TV now from slim designs that arms as significant practically reached another room but the basics. Properly securing them to a stud with the right hardware are gonna remain the same. At least for wood studs if you're a newer home -- it -- does give me a favor let -- your HT TV now he's going to email we -- nation can't revision3.com.

" Briefly got to -- for James he's got a common question he writes and I'm gonna video at 37 inch TV it's -- 720. 1080 I inputs what I get a better -- the picture if I use that 1080 I."

" mr. here well. Chances are that TV has has an actual pixel resolution the screen itself is probably thirteen 66 by 768 done done done comment HD resolutions what's in between it's it's in between seven point he antennae. Well it's actually just over a million pixels. Actually very close to 720. Said at the 1080 I because really you do have extra vertical resolution that you could take advantage of if the TV is doing a good job at the generally that 1080 I signal -- what that most are out as -- we've you have an older model like I'd view it may do it absolutely awful job. -- It's tough because I always and a usually don't sanity I would set top boxes just for a variety of reasons but if there's a lot of content out there that actually shot intended line video. -- the degrees. We get to have one more question do it. It's another classic question Chris writes it is a reason for me to go out and buy a digital audio coaxial cable or -- the same exact signal by just you rich people RCA cable. -- He had ran out of -- he had -- coaxial digital input on the back is receiver. Found any cable just make that connection work as long as this and decent shape. If you can grapple with a video cables like the other art collector -- and that the white for left right audio and having yellow cable the yellow cables actually usually she'll little bit better so. That might help you probably won't notice a difference either way and yet I mean you're basically what it's a digital out what you're hearing zeros and ones that actually carry all the cool waves in there you're just carrying bits that totally swept -- avoid avoid something -- excessively long that's the only thing I can think of it might cause problems but if the short three -- on our three but -- You're going to be also avoid. You know excessive expense because -- the feeling stupid and you realize that sends exactly the same as it you know fifty -- I like him at the bottom of the cracker Jack box.
