For someone who still records TV shows on VCRs this question may seem seem stupid so please enlighten me. Four high end LEDs shouldn't cost more than 15k, all the other equipment & accessories shouldn't be more than 25k, and the cabinet no more than 5k.

How is that a 100k system?

4x Made to order in USA 55" LED displays, a 9 input video wall controller, the mount system that allows me to pull a single display out a few inches to work on it, the 4 mounts that attach the displays to the bracket that spaces them vertically, installation, programming it to the whole-house control system & markup... Bam! $100k+...

really cool, the cross hatch running through the screen would drive me f*cking insane.

at that pricepoint, why not a high end projector and simplify everything?

Really, after watchin it for a few minutes, you dont see the crosshatch unless youre lookin at it...

Simplifying was the point, everything here is a with a projector I would have need to find a Quadplexer & a Matrix switcher that would work well together, and work from my control system. And we were beyond wiring for a projector when he approached me about this. And my clients words were "I want the 'wow factor'. Im only doing this once.."

Like I said above, the image to image gap is 5.3mm or 1/4in. I dare you to find any displays that have even that, let alone smaller. The bezel around your TV is about what? An inch, maybe more? This are not a display you just go buy. It is made when you order it, took about 12 weeks to get it from when I ordered it...

For those interested about the lack of modern technology in my home here are a few stories.

As DVDs took over in the late 90's many of my family and friends made the conversions. Some remembered that I had a pretty large VCR tape collection and so they offered me their used machines. So as one breaks down I have replaced them. I am down to only two left now which is how many TVs I have in my house. The Mrs and I still like to pull out our old tapes and watch them (which is the only way we can since we don't have netflix or any other way of getting movies right now except to buy them).

Several years ago I went to Walmart looking for blank tapes and blew a clerks mind when I asked for some. He pointed to the very top shelf at one pack left. I found some rolling stairs to get me up there to snag them. Yes, they had some dust on them. I still have not dug into that pack. Instead I have been recording over older tapes that I recorded TV shows on back in the early 90's.. until they wear out. In many cases I will rewatch whatever I originally recorded and it is interesting to see episodes of X-Files, Fraiser, Homicide, Simpsons & other stuff with the original commercials.

Anyway MPF, stay off my lawn!

I was digging through some old VHS tapes that belonged to my folks last Christmas and found and found a recorded copy of Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer.... Figured it'd be cool to watch and maybe see some of the old commercials too. Popped it in and somehow it had the audio from Eddie Murphy's "raw" dubbed over the Rudolph video. Was awkward with the kids for a whole sec

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
