Stand out with Evesham's speakerful TV stand

by Erik Hanson posted Feb 15th 2007 at 4:41AM

Evesham's Sound Stage X1 TV stand with speakersWhy settle for the measly two speakers built into that LED 120hz LCD when you can grab the new Evesham TV stand with nine? The Sound Stage X1 jump starts your surround sound with a subwoofer, two center-channel speakers, four front speakers, and finishes off with two more for the rear surrounds. The speaker orientation uses the acoustic properties of the room to bounce sound off of the rear and side walls, so it works best in a square-shaped room, but it should be a good alternative to stringing wires under the carpet or through the attic. The stand will match many of the new piano-black reflective finishes in today's flat-panel screens, and retails for £300. Now if we could just get them to do something about the TV stand with built-in drink holders...

Pier 1 Imports recalls TV stand after child dies

by Matt Burns posted Sep 19th 2006 at 3:24PM

We all have different priorities thanks to the many walks of life we all lead but a child's life tops 'em all. Pier 1 Imports, a popular trendy home outfitter, has issued a recall on the Ming TV stand after a Canadian child died. The warning indicates that if a person leans on the drawer while it is open, the TV might have the tendency to slide forward and off the stand. You can only image what a 80lb 27-inch TV could do to a person, let alone a small child. We can only advise owners of said stand to heed the advice of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and return the stand to Pier 1 for merchandise credit.

Sharp just dropped a truckload of new AQUOS products on us. They announced, get this, nine new LCDs, four recorders, and even a TV stand/audio system. Out of the new LCDs, five of 'em have the speakers underneath the screen and four have them on the side. The two of the four 37-inchers that were announced are rocking the 1080p resolution, while the rest of the new line-up are the normal 1366x768 resolution we have came to expect. This is all set on a new "Black ASV LCD" that is suppose to give the sets a deeper contrast ratio with the full 1080p sets have a 1500:1 contrast and the other seven a 1200:1. The 32-inchers and larger are sporting two HDMI inputs and one DVI, along with a full arrey of legacy inputs, but also are rocking four 6.5cm woofers and two 2cm tweeters. The smaller sets only have one HDMI and DVI port, along with only full-range speakers. The sets should start coming out sometime in September and continue through the first part of October, with the 1080p 37-inchers retailing at 380,000 Yen ($3,311.54) and contiuning down to 140,000 Yen ($1,200) for the 20-inch.
