I’m going to ad that these vendors should be called out, in all their shitty glory. The ad revenue aside, there’s plenty of good products that warrant publication to off set the shit.

These manufacturers will and continue to pump out garbage that unless the bean counters see, will continue to get worse. Forums for the most part will never work. Publications can atleast shed some light on the fact things need to change. YET EVERYONE, CEDIA included is afraid to call out these manufacturers.

Not that Cedia is even relevant but I have always said to have that badge it should require a fantastic warranty program, return and failure rates very low and an avenue to help integrators with marketing and round tables to get feed back 1-2 times a year. It’s just painfully worthless though, not sure why any integrator/manufacturers even pay for it....
