If installing LCD and erecting projection screen individually occupies much space unnecessarily then here is a space-respecting solution for you. The Elite Raptor projection screen features a 100 inch projection screen over an LCD without disturbing its functionality and your needs. The Raptor projection screen is an electric floor-rising screen that obscures itself in a furniture cubbyhole befitting your living room decors.

Offering the aspect ratio of 16:9, the screen is available in three sizes i.e. 72, 84 and 100 inches. The mechanical cross-rising structure has erratic height settings to lodge diverse screening background. It features Elite’s MaxWhite FG fiberglass-backed textile for a flat surface in 1.1 gain. They say it is an ultimate model to be installed in theater environments or executive conference rooms.

On a mere push of a button, both screen and projector emerges. The Raptor projection screen sports an incorporated 5-12V trigger for drop/rise harmonization with the projector’s power cycle along with IR/RF recipients for wireless process.

Expected to hit the market by September, the anticipated price of $3,999 includes an RF remote and ZR800D IR universal learning remote that enables synchronized screen maneuver across eight devices. The cupboard is accessible in matte black or cherry wood finish and would be exhibited at CEDIA Expo 2008.

Unlike ordinary pods, the Ovei Pod aims at enhancing your personal entertainment experience but not all can afford to enjoy the company of this opulence. Against open-room speaker systems, the surround effect and the bass sensations produced via this Pod is matchless (likewise earphones offer better fidelity sounds than speakers). Lately unveiled at CEDIA EXPO 2008 , UK, the pod territory offers you enough room to watch, play and relax. Designed and developed by Lee McCormack and engineered by Mclaren Applied Technologies, each capsule is custom-made and hand made considering the customers’ qualifications. The manufacturers claim that the Pod is flexible enough to be installed with any kit varying from a PS3 to Xbox to any media server with an open choice of color and interior.

With no word at feature-front, expecting a vibrating seat and air-conditioned ambiance in lieu of £50,000 is not much. Addressing a higher level of entertainment, the corral will feature the display monitor.
