    Setting up a media room

    Hello All,

    I have been assigned the task of researching the setup of a new conference/media room at my office. I am looking into setting up a PC using an HDTV as a monitor. We are considering both PC monitors, and TVs for screen options. We are looking for a screen that is around about 50". It needs to be large enough for older clients to see across a distance of about 6-7ft. So far the largest monitor that I have found is about 46", with the option of adding multiple screens.

    The idea is to be able to pull up client records/portfolios as well as online statements which we could then walk them through.

    The concern is whether the images will look clear enough, and whether they will actually utilize the space provided by such a large screen. When we hook up the PC via DVI (I'm assuming that's what we'd be using) I hear that we run the risk of the image not being positioned properly. Also I'm confused by the necessity to modify resolution settings.

    I called someone today about a 46" Mitsubishi LCD Monitor and had them suggest using "Smart Interactive White-boards".
    I dont even know what those are!!
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Interactive Projectors
    by Dean McManis
    I know that it's straying from pure home theater use, but I was just reading about the new Dell S300wi (2200 lumens), and the InFocus IN3904 (3000 lumens) "interactive" projectors. Both have a list price around $1500, and both use 1280 X 800 DLP engines, with a 5K/4K hour bulb life. And even...

    Speaker placement with a 120" screen
    by zacjones
    We're setting up the old theater in a new house, and are running into some speaker placement issues.

    If your screen is too big, forcing you to place your mains wider than optimal for your viewing distance, is placing all three L/C/R speakers below the screen an option?

    New Sony G520P Monitor
    by Bing Fung
    I just got my new 21" Sony monitor and I have to say this thing is pretty damn impressive!

    It actually looks pretty slick. It matches the Lian Li very well. I know I have to paint my keyboard tray. I'm thinking of painting the tray silver.

    As impressive as the G520P...
