LCD TV and Speaker Wall Mount

I'm looking for an articulated LCD TV (42") and mini-monitor speaker mount.
Does such an entity exist?
That is, a mount that moves the TV and speakers together (as opposed to separate speaker wall mounts).

Other permutations could include a 3.0 speaker setup or a speaker bar mount for the TV.
This is for my gym.
See pics in post #2

- DVR storage: Western Digitial (WD) 500GB MyDVR Expander via eSATA
- DVD: Oppo DV-980
- BR: Samsung BD-P1500
- Power: Surge-X Flat Pak 82, APC AV H15

RadianceMini 3D joins the award winning Lumagen® Radiance™ video processor family.

January 6, 2011 — Lumagen®, Inc., a specialist in the design and manufacture of video products for the home and corporate markets, is announcing the RadianceMini 3D.
The RadianceMini 3D joins other members of the Radiance family, which includes the CEA® 2010 Platinum Video Product of the Year, the RadianceXE.

The RadianceMini 3D sports two HDMI® inputs, and one HDMI output, and can be controlled by either the included IR remote, or by RS-232. Control and setup are the same as other units in the Radiance family.
In addition, it provides the same exceptional video quality that the Radiance line has become known for.
The unit’s case measures in at a diminutive 8.5” by 5” by 1.05” (216mm by 127mm by 27mm) and has mounting tabs so it can be fastened to a shelf, or to the wall behind a flat-panel display.

HDMI 1.4 3D is supported, including scaling and aspect ratio control for 3D Bluray movies for use with an anamorphic lens, such as those produced by Panamorph®.
For dual-projector 3D, two units can be used with each receiving 3D and outputting video for either the left-eye or right-eye.

Jim Peterson, Lumagen’s president, stated, “Our customers have been asking us for a new Radiance product optimized for small systems.
The RadianceMini 3D fulfills this request, as well as the need for premier video processing when another product, such as an AVR, or HDMI matrix-switch, is being used for source selection.”

As with the other members of the Radiance line, proprietary No-ring™ scaling, linear-Gamma RGB-color-palette CMS, 21-point parametric grayscale calibration, video deinterlacing, MPEG artifact reduction, temporal noise reduction, and other features, combine to provide the best video quality available.

The RadianceMini 3D is currently available, and is priced at $1995 MSRP.

I haven't read anything telling on the 2 sub calibration yet...it seems CHT and eD people think it is just more "computers" messing with sub calibration.

I think it is interesting...and the reason I haven't chosen my AVR yet as well.

I'm thinking I'm going to place my 37" Aquos on the wall my rack sits in...

Then cover it with my velvet curtains when not in use to match my window curtains on the opposite side (this should also cover my 1st reflection points...and my wife won't know the better!-she doesn't like the acoustic panel idea..weird!)

Anyways..let me know!

Dynamic EQ highlights
Audio detail, all the time. Dynamic EQ continuously monitors your content to make dialog intelligible and background detail audible. Fully enjoy your movies, music and games.
Surround sound at low volumes. When you turn the volume down, surround sound and bass disappear. With Dynamic EQ, you can regain your surround sound and not wake the kids.
A key component in your AVR. Audyssey Dynamic EQ comes standard on many home theater receivers – be sure yours has it.

Good to see a fellow SE Wisconsin-er. I live in Lake Geneva.

Equipment:
In brief, I have a Lumagen XE connected to Denon 5308CI(A) for sound and JVC RS20 projector for video.

Problem:
When I turn on the system as I usually do the XE power light turns red and then green (normal).

If I hit an input number (eg 1), then the green light goes out on the XE and I have no signal to the projector.

Troubleshooting:
1. I've turned on/off multiple times by main system switch (Surge-X SEQ) or by pulling out power cord from XE.
2. If before I hit an input button I hit 16:9 or other aspect ratio button, I can see that change on the projector.
3. The projector test button works fin
4. Only recent change is upgrading my Oppo BDP83 FW to latest public release. However, I can't see how that should effect XE.


Any thoughts?

Is there another "reset" that doesn't destroy my Craig Rounds XE calibration settings?

Thanks.

Mike
