Conference Room Theater
Goal: Create a viewing area in the conference room that can be used for presentations and demoing of potential artists and music performances. This is at a big and well known preforming arts center (see rich patrons, top hats, operas, and the like.
)
Qualities Required: The display must be large, bright, and sharp to make viewing both comfortable and accurate. It has to accept a computer input such that a system can be set up with a remote and can be mastered with ease by any person that needs to use it (we're talking business execs, older ladies, etcetc). The system must be able to play DVDs, VHS tapes (yes, vhs), CDs, etc. There must be room-filling high def sound that is both clear and accurate. Anyone must be able to go in, throw in a dvd and fire it up. This also must be elegant due to the nature of the environment.
Here's where I need some [H]elp!
1. The budget is about 7,000-10,000 USD. If it's too low, they are suspicious that it sucks, if it's too high, they think we are just getting flashy toys.
2. The room is about 20 x 15. Is well lit and is sound proofed. There is a nook about 4 feet tall and 10 feet wide with a counter where the box, TV, receiver, etc will sit.
3. The techs backstages the run the speaker stacks and audio equipment for a thousand plus patron hall can wire anything and amp anything. We can do some sexay surround sound, but what speakers, sub, receiver?
4. It's going to be a dell computer. It's who we buy systems from, we have gold support, this is just the case. I wish I could do my own build, no dice. It's going to run media center and have a logitech remote (top end). What kind of power will this system need?
2. We need a 40-50 inch plasma/dlp, whatever, I've been looking at the 42in dell plasma. What is a known, good quality display that takes DVI and has excellent warranty support as well as wall mounts.
Help me [H], you are the ones with the power to make an ungodly setup, help me choose!
