THX: Video Calibration Improves Energy Efficiency
With every energy savings putting money back in your
pocket, it's no surprise that people are more
conscientious than ever these days when it comes to
saving energy. And while almost everyone is
familiar with the energy savings created by using
Energy Star products, many are still unaware that
their energy savings can be compounded with proper
calibration of their televisions.
A recent study conducted by THX found that
calibration of LCD and plasma TV's can improve
energy efficiency up to 50%! The study, which
compared "vivid" or "dynamic" modes (the default
settings on many TV's) to professionally calibrated
settings on fifteen different LCD and plasma TV's
found the approximate energy savings ranged from
15-50% and could produce a savings of up to $50 per
year.
Amalgamated Audio has been a longtime advocate of
television calibration as it greatly improves a
television's picture quality. Throw in
the added energy savings it creates and it now makes
more sense than ever to have your television
professionally calibrated. Call or stop in
today to learn more. |

NuVision Reinvents Itself, Its Products, and
Its
Leadership Team
NuVision has assembled an all-star cast for its
leadership team
as it works to reinvent and reposition itself in the LCD
television market. Bringing aboard executives
that previously worked as a lead engineer and
product development manager for Loewe, a director of
sales from Fujitsu Plasmavision, and a vice president
of marketing for Pioneer Home, NuVision feels
they've set up the necessary framework to place them
atop the high end LCD market.
Amalgamated Audio initially brought in the NuVision
line in 2006 and we are very much anticipating the
arrival of their new series of televisions.
With unique features like anodized/etched/sealed
aluminum, a 5:5 pulldown, 120 Hz native processing
(other brands use 60 Hz native processing, frame
interpolation only in L to R linear motion, black
frame insertion and a 3:2 pulldown), and a 2 year
parts and labor warranty, NuVision seems poised to
make serious inroads into the LCD television market.
Stop in or call today to learn more about NuVision. |

Amalgamated Audio Hosts Job Shadowing for Local
Students
Amalgamated Audio recently hosted some local high
school students for a half day of job shadowing.
Students began the day with a tour of the store and
its equipment, then were given an overview of our
positions and which tasks each person performs on a
day-to-day basis. They were also taken
to four job sites: a retro-fit, remodel, new
construction, and basement finish, in order to learn
what type of items and labor go into each particular
job. |
