Now Shipping ZERO-G Rollable Screens

 

Levitating.

When you buy a Zero-G® screen, you are buying something that does not exist anywhere else. It is a completely new, one-of-a-kind approach to motorized screens. We even ship each screen with a “color matching system” (they’re just crayons) so you can color your cables to match your walls and watch as they completely disappear!
 

See the Difference.

Think Rollable Television®. When watching the game or your favorite movie, Zero-G drops out of the case and expands at a preset location giving you a “levitating” image, suspended by cables.
 

Take back your room.

You paid for your view. Don’t re-arrange your room just so you can see the flat panel television. With Zero-G® you can drop your screen in front of a bay of windows, or art-deco wall where you never could have placed a flat-panel television. Your orientation is now dictated by your room, not your TV.


Simple.

We have ensured that installation of Zero-G® is as simple and smooth as possible by engineering features such as removable PCB and upper motor lift tubes, factory pre-programmed bomb-bay doors (flush unit only), automatic upper limits via optical sensors, and pre-installed material rolls which can optionally be shipped separate for new construction.

SONY VPLVW5000ES - The Best of the Best!

We all know that Sony has been alone in the End Zone with the only true native 4K projectors in the industry for some time now. While competitors have brought to market Faux K models trying to emulate 4K from a native 2K device with tricks like pixel shifting an E-Shift, Sony has been delivering the goods!
 
Sony offers a broad array of native 4K projectors in several form factors and started shipping the ground breaking VPL-VW5000ES several months ago. Without exception, everyone we have spoken to says the VW5000ES is the absolute best 4K projector available to the consumer, producing the finest image available at any price. 
 
While other vendors are finally bringing a few variants of native 4K to market, the VW5000ES remains the Best of The Best! No competing technology can deliver the contrast and resolution of SXRD and with 5000 Lumens, the VW5000ES can light up even the biggest screen with an eye popping picture that will make your customers giggle when they first turn it on. When your customers demand the best, the VW5000ES is your clear choice.

Professionally Installed Surge Suppression:
A Clear Choice for High-Tech Homes

 
The importance of installing non-sacrificial surge elimination equipment like the XR315 was made clear when Reoutt and his team removed the surge protection component from the damaged property. Reoutt explains, “I know, based on what happened to the system on the other end of this piece of equipment that this [surge protector] is fried.” Reoutt notes that there was no visible evidence that the surge protector they removed was damaged.  “For someone who didn’t know any better, they would think it’s still working fine because everything plugged into it works, and that’s dangerous.”

Based on this experience, Reoutt and his team make a point to explain to potential clients how surge elimination in their home can put them at ease. “Surge protection is one of those things that my clients always ask about,” comments Reoutt. “My response is always the same; I just tell them this story of the two houses and explain how the one we did was protected by SurgeX and the other one wasn’t, and I tell them what happened from there.”

Powersurge Electric and Integration requires SurgeX equipment in all of its installations; they see it as a hidden asset. “Every job we do has a SurgeX piece in in. For me, it’s nonnegotiable.” Reoutt explains. Power protection equipment goes a long way in safeguarding an automation, security or entertainment system; Reoutt continues, “If you don’t, and you have nothing in place to prevent disturbances like this, often times you’re left in the dark and you risk your investment in a system getting fried.”

There are many other brands of whole-house surge protection equipment available, some of which can be installed by a do-it-yourselfer. But as is usually the case, you’ll get better results by having a professional set up a complete system. The suggested retail price of the SurgeX XR315 surge suppressor is $899—a small price to pay to protect your home theater, home automation system, music system, and other smart home investments.
