That EVO system looks really cool. If someone gets that, let us know how it works out.

I hear it got an award at the 2007 CES.
Alan should be working hard on his upcoming update on how the CES show went this year.

There is a very good chance we will be purchasing the EVO system. I'm just not sure how to setup for a future tv for the piece since the 32" Phillips lcd we have there now is destined for the bedroom. It will take some planning to sort this out. Perhaps mounting a 50" Toshiba DLP rear projection (about 64lbs) would work.

Today is a sad day. I finally received my W2 for 2006, and the final numbers are much smaller than I estimated. You see, my company didn't settle all my moving expenses until 2006, even though I moved in December of 2005. Some of those expenses counted as income for me... So, no Axiom Ws and no wall mounted TV for me.

Unless my wife's business really thrives. Hey, ya think we could count Axioms and a TV as a business expense if our motivation for buying them is to make our home a better/safer place for the kids to play?

I'll give a nod to Samsung's current TV's, they're quite nice. I don't actually own any of them personally, but I've recommended / help friends buy more then one.

Just my 0.02

As for the EVO system, I don't think I can consider it anymore. I was piecing one together on their designer thing, and it turned out to be around $3800, which is an ouch for me. I think I'd rather buy the Rives Audio acoustical consultation/design. Still, I'd like to see what that system looks like in your place when you have it!

Yes it certainly is not cheap, but it really looks like a near perfect system for us. As long as i can mount it overtop of the cable and electrical jacks, then virtually all the cables will be hidden with the only exception being the speaker cables.

Well, Peter, I'll offer a sad face for you!

Thanks. I was starting to feel invisible. Kinda like that money I though I was getting...

Don't try to ruin the pity party Mark and I are having by pointing out that he has worse issues. We were bonding just now.

Hi pm,

Sorry your refund won't generate the funds but since I've read through this thread I thought I'd comment anyway since I've just finished the Axiom newsletter (it should go out today) and my notes are in front of me.

Some of the best-looking LCD panels I viewed at this year's CES in Las Vegas included the Sharp Aquos models as well as a new line of larger 1080p Toshiba LCD panels that were a knockout. The Samsungs are very good but not quite up to the Sharp, Toshiba and Sony LCD panels.

Sharp and Toshiba have doubled the frame rate of their LCD panels to 120 Hz (Toshiba's name for it is "Motion Vector Frame Interpolation") to essentially eliminate blurring with rapid horizontal action. The side-by-side demos were very convincing (60-Hz LCD panels vs 120-Hz panels).

I don't recall seeing any Viewsonic LCD panels.

Regards,
