Now in the continuing effort to California's per capita electrical consumption flat. Apparently it's been flat for thirty years while the rest of the country's per capita consumption has grown by about 50%. I personally play and the younger people who believe in air conditioning and of course -- act act act act California and it has lately you know. The public energy commission is looking to establish TD efficiency standards starting in 31. And what the heck yeah now it's it. A case of plasma TVs the most threatened by this since they sucked -- the most -- LCD flat panel makers are on flap about this the CAA's not for it. Individual vendors you know there obviously depend on the number -- they maker probably going to be more or less panicked. The CEC claims typical platinum sucks down. Three times and use your old school standard Def C -- type television. And that we. Sort of as all of these big screen is going to everyone's -- it's it's sort of news messing up their plot for keeping your energy consumption flat in the state of California. I personally see this is just reinventing that we -- not sure why the California. Commission is getting involved in the -- systems like. Energy star that rates TDs for the entire country and it all manufacturers pay attention to those rules in the all strive to hit. The targets that are presented with and -- document presented by energy starts like. And over time especially the last three years I've seen all flat panel TVs decreased by at least 20%. And the latest models are like 30% below the targets that energy star requires so. I just feel like we're reinventing the wheel here in terms of just. Wire creating legislation for some yet in my in my mind aren't fixed and we should point out that both of us are very pro saving energy reduce electoral consumption maybe you should turn off your television when you're using it does.

" It is one of the greatest -- horror films and my opinions on the land that's amazing director and the special factor. Fourth time excellent great forget what filmmakers because there's no CD is all just ingenuity. On how they did that transformations that pretty much invented an Oscar for make up for the guide me Rick Baker yeah yeah totally it is and people -- now but I I still think it would stand up script could do it yourself that -- Nintendo equipment added up all my clothes. The shining ha technical and Stanley -- excellent excellent film the perfect below the perfectly build. Suspense to the shocker moments movie in my opinion and there we can expect in mind and this and it's hard it. -- is great just kubrick's style of symmetry everything's that symmetrical. Lend itself to just be so unnerving in this world that just everything is becoming more -- more bad and then -- and that. The orphanage it is especially subtitled so you don't like to read mine now I can put it -- another great Barry -- cocky and ask. Building a suspense to shock it's only have a -- struggle with what apartments there. Because of the story that -- in the character development when truckers that it did much as you. Coming -- shot of that awesome that Gregory maybe Simon peg and I can't remember the other guy the guy I think. Actually -- it was great. Like I'm not a big fan of the you know hostile -- that is guts and gore. Just register -- although of people like cannot find. But I I really like when it's parity in this is a perfect example that probably my favorite -- would think I can and and it has a great throw back to the Romero. Zombie films if you could find -- Five that's the descent. Which is an Australian film all female captain and other exploit women for once what kind -- thing is there's hypocrisy -- the and it is very little. -- But it can create -- the monthly but it doesn't just rely on the monsters that there -- it also just makes you hardly hardly claustrophobic. As they go down into the caves and hang them caves if there peeking through my Brothers kind of claustrophobic so he can even watch in this in this it's extremely grant from the it basically yeah what's left of the torture programs. Since then we'd ever do five we need these -- them. The signal which is an excellent indie horror film from Georgia. It's actually three directors all wrote and directed their own part three part but the it's its own it has one fluid parking story line which they'll cut to sounds expensive. Only fifty grand you do and they shot on the think that we actually use for -- Which is extremely. Encouraging effort you know forgive myself film because they were reduced yourself to make it's that big government -- themselves and then. Went to the festival circuit and got picked up for theatrical release that is that we can excellent and an excellent excellent adapted it to grant that's the intricate degree and make them. I'll pick up. At the other end of the financial Specter's numbers for the call Tim Burton's. Fine with them in my opinion he's so good or wish you would do more of it defeated German express specific style. Is just perfect perfect at Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp which has been in every move he's made that statement -- yet they're perfect fit so wives. My break what -- like fix that with opera and number eight."

" Fixing things that are desperately desperately broken from out scary sketchy evil Johnny -- performance. -- spectacular it mostly because this and photography and the color choices yes Hughes Brothers made this."

" He -- Brothers which is not a society and that's president's. So this is a complete departure for them but a great and I thought and and another one nothing that's hardly hardly in your face terrifying but the whole movie has this just unnerving qualitative from start to finish. Especially with us in photography and how darkened rabbit is in the colors to even further that."

" They're looking for historical accuracy you're gonna hate this film but if you want like an unbelievable twist -- 1910 trajectory -- thing. It's -- and can do it that was awesome thank thank you if you have not seen it. You need you more Brian terrorists the film my group here hysterically or sketchy or scary.

" Last week I was telling you we -- gonna start in more set top media players do reviews -- them. This week -- out less well he probably never heard of that but would you have heard of the popcorn hour C 200 networked media tank mr. Herron. Has his take on it. So set top box what in the most generic sense what is it."

" Well in this case is eight decoder for a variety of audio and video formats that are out there right now all the popular formats you run into on the web plus all -- it. Common formats you run into things like dvd and Blu-ray media audio formats this box can basically because that get in your home theater setup. So it's not gonna dues you know apple DRM encoded video from apple TV you plug into you know. You know something -- lock down the designee Steven pretty much anything it's open is. Fair game totally and most up to the final the way. Now I have this connected via HDMI right to a television and the setup was fairly simple in terms of just giving it sent out. There's an RF remote. One of my favorite things that's the default option with the the -- 200. Actually comes of the remote that you don't have the -- anything that's really nice that sells for 200 dollar or 300 dollars for that set up. -- Twelve more bucks -- want -- the -- support as well it includes a different remote as well as an emperor was this winter -- if you want that remote to also control your television you're probably gonna spend the extra tool box exactly -- a pretty reasonable -- or maybe something like the harmony remote universal style remote to control devices well. Now it comes with no internal storage so it basically that up to you terms how you -- outfit this device. Right now I have an SET -- because in front page literally just slides in their please don't take it out right now but it. -- It is we can pop it out as soon as we thought about it simple it literally just slides in close you don't even have to open it up. However if you do crack the lid on it you'll find another SAT port in there you can add a second drive. Now there wasn't exactly spot sport but there was room to kind of just put it in their hold -- and -- you know. In this case also has four double stick tape rules the world. Now the other nice thing is its support of optical media and in this case you have to use an external drive enclosure and that's what we have on top here in this case -- dvd drive and also sports supposedly Blu-ray drives but. Of the 3-D V of the three optical drive we have labor on the opposite number Blu-ray somebody to -- Somebody stole Patrick's drive if you got back yet but. -- that was fairly Wallace basically adding to drive and adds to the interface which you see right behind us. Now one of the cool things just getting it online once that's done you can immediately utilize some of those on one functions in this case. They have what they call there. Media portal service. And a fire that up real quick. It brings up that standard media feeds that -- from around the web including things like YouTube and Flickr and of course Revision 3 one quick thing. For the people out there who are doing HD video content for the web like we are. One thing I really appreciate the average pop gotta love that any of the episodes every and it's too there's a word right here's -- lark that's the format type for the video just scrolling up and down with the amount. I go speech Deaver in the small version whatever -- like -- hit the button and play. And -- deeply this small versions and -- smoke -- play. And it will go to online find that video and start playing it of course we get the black screen until then. It's like offering for just about everything you do it doesn't take too long and it's really seamless once it starts. -- that's the Internet side of -- and of course there's also customizable RSS -- and other types of media you can you can subscribe to manually. There's there's services you can sign -- but let me jump back to the main -- real quick here one -- gets right back that's really nice. Under setup the device built into once you have the hard drive. Hart adding hard drive for this device is really key because that enables the device than to go online and download a suite of utilities from -- our website and that -- this thing. Additional functionality I think a lot of people really him -- get a good taste for an -- we don't set up real quick. And with the call is that network media tank applications. Specifically things like a universal plug and play -- server. Another home server ftp servers on the support. And at best server up Tor client you can actually -- this could be days pulling down your streams automatically configure it through a browser. As well to use my client that I found some of those were really and especially the -- support that just gives you access from your C your windows PC going to drag and drop files right into the hard drive on here. Cool now they claim this -- a Gigabit ethernet connection on about my own testing I found that. I was never getting anything faster than 100 megabit speeds in terms of transfers. Still pretty good for -- what did you routers and no I haven't dealings 655 with -- Gigabit switches and Gigabit from the computer to the port of Ottawa just upset. But but I was -- once -- start transference -- multi gigabyte files like. Dvd files you believe that would be huge video off the tactic of the sport would be great I'm not sure that can be corrected or not or maybe it was something on mine I'll leave it -- that. Other cool things I have to say to -- BR -- remote Arctic. We talked a lot about what this thing it's great that let me just quickly go down some of the -- that ran into one. It's in the hardware Wednesday's data so much as the software that drives at all I would say I I immediately -- a firmware update. I immediately did -- firmware update when -- did this and I was going through some the codec support and things like -- support was missing. And the ability to stream certain files over my network from -- device that was supported. Now the claim that all these things have worked in previous devices that is all being worked on right now you're such a -- beta tester. And also. The network performance -- talked about but. Overall I have to say. Mike the performance of justifies it with large amounts files was relatively good. Now I defeated a folder say it's a single folder containing about 7700. Pictures while that bucket down. It took about about seven and a half seconds to go between different pages in terms of that but in its ability to deal with large amounts folders and files mixed together. It was snappy I was really surprised at how much I never felt like this thing I was waiting very --"

" Happen on such a good thing -- some of -- set top boxes we've seen over the last couple years they have sort of the firmware of doom or maybe whatever comes from the chip manufacturer. And you would sit there you would hit next and then eventually the menu would open so anything that snappy on a set top box is especially -- totally. It as with most players of course I have some photos and here you can always do stuff flex slide shows and what. He hit the button you have. Full control -- what you want to happen as far as a slide shows ago -- in terms of transitions -- along with the photos to -- he -- background music including Internet radio -- while you're doing -- slide -- as well if you have a completely -- folder with 7000 files inside of -- like you -- again I don't believe index that or -- a bad idea -- how it did it but it was when -- it -- shows you -- to go back to the previous -- through so it does index -- and -- the -- in for an hour faster access the next -- would -- who -- that. However it is expected this fish. Thumbs up thumbs down all of it for for 300 bucks its ability to go through the content -- already on and get it into my living room. It's working really well that would hand this my mom not yet its current edition documentation needs to get stepped up. But products beat functionalities there so any -- and Kodak except for -- and some other stuff and data dvd will test the Blu-ray Biden."

" Tweak. That's a whole lot of functionality. -- cool. Coming up next penetrating your useless pile of -- dvds for brand spanking fresh Blu-ray yet.

" One more note about the popcorn hours dvd conversion abilities. They were rather mediocre they really fails my critical path however with your Hollywood is Hollywood film content it should be okay thank you decent picture although. And as little as you as you think it might improve over is easily fix and software's it -- issue. That there will be able to fix it software I believe the chip they're using for the decoding abilities has the ability built into it it's matter of exposing -- right. Another -- a little bit things I hope that -- crickets. In these tough economic times we elegy to save a buck -- you."

" You know what that means it is time for our our recession selection this week's election red civil. Used to be a she gave me back -- with Blu-ray but now it is a casualty of high Def format wars -- this convenient players and cheap HTV this. Still -- the marketplace that you ran here. That you like us you've probably invested in the giant pile of -- dvd discs. Incredibly relieved by a lot of the same title which means spending more money for something that you already half. Wouldn't it be nice if you could turn in your HDDVD. For the blue equivalent. Well if you -- in the United States you can. Thanks to read the -- At least if there Warner Bros. disk this is -- Warner Bros. program quality treating your Warner brother eighteen dvd titles through the mail. For their blue -- equivalent could be the -- injury convene this. All they want is the cover -- It's just cost you five bucks for Blu-ray plus a flat seven dollar shipping and handling fee or nine dollars for Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico. That's approximately twelve bucks which in some cases is an ideal but in many cases it's a pretty hefty savings on buying a Blu-ray over again. The only downside is that this program only applies to Warner Bros. -- It also limited when it right this proud solves that you think about fighting I think that's a master recently Blu-ray gets stopped. If you make that transition doubly raid one assailant repurchasing eight he would be sure to have yourself a favor take out red to blue dot com all of these bills are on the site. Finally got an email from JD's."

" Got some good information on wall about the EC TV's in two steel -- mounts right 'cause I've never actually had to deal with. He says as a navy installer I've had about flat panel TVs to steel stud wall construction. To mount up -- or tilt wall mount TV to a still stud wall you wanna choose about the expand to studs. And attacked the bracket to the wall using heavy duty toggle bolts. Anchor at least four -- Mobil's blue steel stud and if you can add a few extra in the drywall can help stop the bracket from flexing. He recommend toddler dot com as a source for those -- Now Melanie in full swing arm TV brackets the one that weighs way out from the wall. He says that's a little tougher due to the increase leverage its full extension. He says he's used to steal stuff adapter plate or bracket that's purposefully designed to attach to steel studs. Essentially it increased the amount of service area on the wall and allowed DDB toggle bolts through the bracket into the steel studs. The other alternative is opening up the wall in backing the mounting space between the two stuck with three quarter inch plywood very securely to the steel framing. That you finished drywall painting and apply any bracket you want to the wall. Because he would also recommend choosing an LCD TV over a -- if possible because the LCD is gonna be much lighter for any given size. JD he's -- installer and do you wanna thank you some awesome information. It's crazy and the -- ever seen steel studs the C channel though we're only goodness they're everywhere out here I appreciate."

" Think that would last a long time to get the key really is keep the wall from flexing it all and start loading the with a bracket and the panel itself. I will say though the latest finished flat panels the ones are about and -- haptic. They're all relatively about the same -- nowadays that you're right if you can get down to those usually more expensive flat flat panels.

Fourth time excellent great forget what filmmakers because there's no CD is all just ingenuity. On how they did that transformations that pretty much invented an Oscar for make up for the guide me Rick Baker yeah yeah totally it is and people -- now but I I still think it would stand up script could do it yourself that -- Nintendo equipment added up all my clothes. The shining ha technical and Stanley -- excellent excellent film the perfect below the perfectly build. Suspense to the shocker moments movie in my opinion and there we can expect in mind and this and it's hard it. -- is great just kubrick's style of symmetry everything's that symmetrical. Lend itself to just be so unnerving in this world that just everything is becoming more -- more bad and then -- and that. The orphanage it is especially subtitled so you don't like to read mine now I can put it -- another great Barry -- cocky and ask. Building a suspense to shock it's only have a -- struggle with what apartments there. Because of the story that -- in the character development when truckers that it did much as you. Coming -- shot of that awesome that Gregory maybe Simon peg and I can't remember the other guy the guy I think. Actually -- it was great. Like I'm not a big fan of the you know hostile -- that is guts and gore. Just register -- although of people like cannot find. But I I really like when it's parity in this is a perfect example that probably my favorite -- would think I can and and it has a great throw back to the Romero. Zombie films if you could find -- Five that's the descent. Which is an Australian film all female captain and other exploit women for once what kind -- thing is there's hypocrisy -- the and it is very little. -- But it can create -- the monthly but it doesn't just rely on the monsters that there -- it also just makes you hardly hardly claustrophobic. As they go down into the caves and hang them caves if there peeking through my Brothers kind of claustrophobic so he can even watch in this in this it's extremely grant from the it basically yeah what's left of the torture programs. Since then we'd ever do five we need these -- them. The signal which is an excellent indie horror film from Georgia. It's actually three directors all wrote and directed their own part three part but the it's its own it has one fluid parking story line which they'll cut to sounds expensive. Only fifty grand you do and they shot on the think that we actually use for -- Which is extremely. Encouraging effort you know forgive myself film because they were reduced yourself to make it's that big government -- themselves and then. Went to the festival circuit and got picked up for theatrical release that is that we can excellent and an excellent excellent adapted it to grant that's the intricate degree and make them. I'll pick up. At the other end of the financial Specter's numbers for the call Tim Burton's. Fine with them in my opinion he's so good or wish you would do more of it defeated German express specific style. Is just perfect perfect at Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp which has been in every move he's made that statement -- yet they're perfect fit so wives. My break what -- like fix that with opera and number eight."

" Fixing things that are desperately desperately broken from out scary sketchy evil Johnny -- performance. -- spectacular it mostly because this and photography and the color choices yes Hughes Brothers made this."

" He -- Brothers which is not a society and that's president's. So this is a complete departure for them but a great and I thought and and another one nothing that's hardly hardly in your face terrifying but the whole movie has this just unnerving qualitative from start to finish. Especially with us in photography and how darkened rabbit is in the colors to even further that."

" Last week I was telling you we -- gonna start in more set top media players do reviews -- them. This week -- out less well he probably never heard of that but would you have heard of the popcorn hour C 200 networked media tank mr. Herron. Has his take on it. So set top box what in the most generic sense what is it."

" Well in this case is eight decoder for a variety of audio and video formats that are out there right now all the popular formats you run into on the web plus all -- it. Common formats you run into things like dvd and Blu-ray media audio formats this box can basically because that get in your home theater setup. So it's not gonna dues you know apple DRM encoded video from apple TV you plug into you know. You know something -- lock down the designee Steven pretty much anything it's open is. Fair game totally and most up to the final the way. Now I have this connected via HDMI right to a television and the setup was fairly simple in terms of just giving it sent out. There's an RF remote. One of my favorite things that's the default option with the the -- 200. Actually comes of the remote that you don't have the -- anything that's really nice that sells for 200 dollar or 300 dollars for that set up. -- Twelve more bucks -- want -- the -- support as well it includes a different remote as well as an emperor was this winter -- if you want that remote to also control your television you're probably gonna spend the extra tool box exactly -- a pretty reasonable -- or maybe something like the harmony remote universal style remote to control devices well. Now it comes with no internal storage so it basically that up to you terms how you -- outfit this device. Right now I have an SET -- because in front page literally just slides in their please don't take it out right now but it. -- It is we can pop it out as soon as we thought about it simple it literally just slides in close you don't even have to open it up. However if you do crack the lid on it you'll find another SAT port in there you can add a second drive. Now there wasn't exactly spot sport but there was room to kind of just put it in their hold -- and -- you know. In this case also has four double stick tape rules the world. Now the other nice thing is its support of optical media and in this case you have to use an external drive enclosure and that's what we have on top here in this case -- dvd drive and also sports supposedly Blu-ray drives but. Of the 3-D V of the three optical drive we have labor on the opposite number Blu-ray somebody to -- Somebody stole Patrick's drive if you got back yet but. -- that was fairly Wallace basically adding to drive and adds to the interface which you see right behind us. Now one of the cool things just getting it online once that's done you can immediately utilize some of those on one functions in this case. They have what they call there. Media portal service. And a fire that up real quick. It brings up that standard media feeds that -- from around the web including things like YouTube and Flickr and of course Revision 3 one quick thing. For the people out there who are doing HD video content for the web like we are. One thing I really appreciate the average pop gotta love that any of the episodes every and it's too there's a word right here's -- lark that's the format type for the video just scrolling up and down with the amount. I go speech Deaver in the small version whatever -- like -- hit the button and play. And -- deeply this small versions and -- smoke -- play. And it will go to online find that video and start playing it of course we get the black screen until then. It's like offering for just about everything you do it doesn't take too long and it's really seamless once it starts. -- that's the Internet side of -- and of course there's also customizable RSS -- and other types of media you can you can subscribe to manually. There's there's services you can sign -- but let me jump back to the main -- real quick here one -- gets right back that's really nice. Under setup the device built into once you have the hard drive. Hart adding hard drive for this device is really key because that enables the device than to go online and download a suite of utilities from -- our website and that -- this thing. Additional functionality I think a lot of people really him -- get a good taste for an -- we don't set up real quick. And with the call is that network media tank applications. Specifically things like a universal plug and play -- server. Another home server ftp servers on the support. And at best server up Tor client you can actually -- this could be days pulling down your streams automatically configure it through a browser. As well to use my client that I found some of those were really and especially the -- support that just gives you access from your C your windows PC going to drag and drop files right into the hard drive on here. Cool now they claim this -- a Gigabit ethernet connection on about my own testing I found that. I was never getting anything faster than 100 megabit speeds in terms of transfers. Still pretty good for -- what did you routers and no I haven't dealings 655 with -- Gigabit switches and Gigabit from the computer to the port of Ottawa just upset. But but I was -- once -- start transference -- multi gigabyte files like. Dvd files you believe that would be huge video off the tactic of the sport would be great I'm not sure that can be corrected or not or maybe it was something on mine I'll leave it -- that. Other cool things I have to say to -- BR -- remote Arctic. We talked a lot about what this thing it's great that let me just quickly go down some of the -- that ran into one. It's in the hardware Wednesday's data so much as the software that drives at all I would say I I immediately -- a firmware update. I immediately did -- firmware update when -- did this and I was going through some the codec support and things like -- support was missing. And the ability to stream certain files over my network from -- device that was supported. Now the claim that all these things have worked in previous devices that is all being worked on right now you're such a -- beta tester. And also. The network performance -- talked about but. Overall I have to say. Mike the performance of justifies it with large amounts files was relatively good. Now I defeated a folder say it's a single folder containing about 7700. Pictures while that bucket down. It took about about seven and a half seconds to go between different pages in terms of that but in its ability to deal with large amounts folders and files mixed together. It was snappy I was really surprised at how much I never felt like this thing I was waiting very --"

" Happen on such a good thing -- some of -- set top boxes we've seen over the last couple years they have sort of the firmware of doom or maybe whatever comes from the chip manufacturer. And you would sit there you would hit next and then eventually the menu would open so anything that snappy on a set top box is especially -- totally. It as with most players of course I have some photos and here you can always do stuff flex slide shows and what. He hit the button you have. Full control -- what you want to happen as far as a slide shows ago -- in terms of transitions -- along with the photos to -- he -- background music including Internet radio -- while you're doing -- slide -- as well if you have a completely -- folder with 7000 files inside of -- like you -- again I don't believe index that or -- a bad idea -- how it did it but it was when -- it -- shows you -- to go back to the previous -- through so it does index -- and -- the -- in for an hour faster access the next -- would -- who -- that. However it is expected this fish. Thumbs up thumbs down all of it for for 300 bucks its ability to go through the content -- already on and get it into my living room. It's working really well that would hand this my mom not yet its current edition documentation needs to get stepped up. But products beat functionalities there so any -- and Kodak except for -- and some other stuff and data dvd will test the Blu-ray Biden."

" One more note about the popcorn hours dvd conversion abilities. They were rather mediocre they really fails my critical path however with your Hollywood is Hollywood film content it should be okay thank you decent picture although. And as little as you as you think it might improve over is easily fix and software's it -- issue. That there will be able to fix it software I believe the chip they're using for the decoding abilities has the ability built into it it's matter of exposing -- right. Another -- a little bit things I hope that -- crickets. In these tough economic times we elegy to save a buck -- you."

" You know what that means it is time for our our recession selection this week's election red civil. Used to be a she gave me back -- with Blu-ray but now it is a casualty of high Def format wars -- this convenient players and cheap HTV this. Still -- the marketplace that you ran here. That you like us you've probably invested in the giant pile of -- dvd discs. Incredibly relieved by a lot of the same title which means spending more money for something that you already half. Wouldn't it be nice if you could turn in your HDDVD. For the blue equivalent. Well if you -- in the United States you can. Thanks to read the -- At least if there Warner Bros. disk this is -- Warner Bros. program quality treating your Warner brother eighteen dvd titles through the mail. For their blue -- equivalent could be the -- injury convene this. All they want is the cover -- It's just cost you five bucks for Blu-ray plus a flat seven dollar shipping and handling fee or nine dollars for Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico. That's approximately twelve bucks which in some cases is an ideal but in many cases it's a pretty hefty savings on buying a Blu-ray over again. The only downside is that this program only applies to Warner Bros. -- It also limited when it right this proud solves that you think about fighting I think that's a master recently Blu-ray gets stopped. If you make that transition doubly raid one assailant repurchasing eight he would be sure to have yourself a favor take out red to blue dot com all of these bills are on the site. Finally got an email from JD's."

" Got some good information on wall about the EC TV's in two steel -- mounts right 'cause I've never actually had to deal with. He says as a navy installer I've had about flat panel TVs to steel stud wall construction. To mount up -- or tilt wall mount TV to a still stud wall you wanna choose about the expand to studs. And attacked the bracket to the wall using heavy duty toggle bolts. Anchor at least four -- Mobil's blue steel stud and if you can add a few extra in the drywall can help stop the bracket from flexing. He recommend toddler dot com as a source for those -- Now Melanie in full swing arm TV brackets the one that weighs way out from the wall. He says that's a little tougher due to the increase leverage its full extension. He says he's used to steal stuff adapter plate or bracket that's purposefully designed to attach to steel studs. Essentially it increased the amount of service area on the wall and allowed DDB toggle bolts through the bracket into the steel studs. The other alternative is opening up the wall in backing the mounting space between the two stuck with three quarter inch plywood very securely to the steel framing. That you finished drywall painting and apply any bracket you want to the wall. Because he would also recommend choosing an LCD TV over a -- if possible because the LCD is gonna be much lighter for any given size. JD he's -- installer and do you wanna thank you some awesome information. It's crazy and the -- ever seen steel studs the C channel though we're only goodness they're everywhere out here I appreciate."

" Think that would last a long time to get the key really is keep the wall from flexing it all and start loading the with a bracket and the panel itself. I will say though the latest finished flat panels the ones are about and -- haptic. They're all relatively about the same -- nowadays that you're right if you can get down to those usually more expensive flat flat panels.
