    what size TV

    the cardboard cutout is exactly the dimension of a vizio 60 inch LED, just used these dimensions to give me an idea of how it would look in this space. My house was pre-wired and all of the wiring for the TV comes out of the wall behind where the TV sits.

Here is a...

    Hello all, first post. Finally ready to put in some equipment in a prewired living room and adjoining patio. I had a local home theatre guy come out but his quote was pretty high (receiver alone $1000). So I went out and researched as best I could and made some purchases and would like to do at...
