Saying you don't mean doesn't mean I'm not going to take offense.

I'm really getting a lot of flack and not understanding why. I had a goal. I accomplished it in the most economical means available to me without compromising on capability.

For those interested this is my office AV system. The LCD is a LG 32LD350. [Link: dropbox.com]

I am thinking about adding in my AMX PC1 box to provide a way to hard reset the Apple TV 4 when it acts up to save time on navigating the menu to reboot it. If I need to I can also add in a Crestron C2N-VEQ4.

I didn't want another brand of switcher. I wanted a Crestron switcher. I work with DM switchers every day on job sites. I have seen how solid they are. This is an old one but it is a proven platform. Keep in mind it's not just a switcher. It is a switcher and a transmitter.

My solution offers me a clean pathway for CEC control of my Apple TV 4 so I don't have to run an IR bud to it.

I can use CEC control to get the feedback from my LG display since it's responses to serial commands are next to useless. So now I can discreetly turn the display on and off and set it to the correct input via a serial port and display with certainty the correct state on the panel even if someone uses the remote or buttons on the display itself.

In addition I never said I can't afford a rack. I asked for a recommendation on a cost effective rack. Since my day to day duties don't have me doing the purchasing I don't know where to go to get a good deal on a quality rack. Plus I was hoping someone might know of one that looks like an entertainment center or something with an actual rack built into it.
