10 Reasons Why You Should Join Us for Lunch...

Dear Esteemed Readers,

After months of planning, we are looking forward to this Saturday afternoon, August 13th, to showcase the latest & greatest from Kaleidescape. While I have a lot of personal attachment to this specific event, as it was my internship-long project, I know it will be a great one for the whole family to enjoy. And here’s why:

1. There will be food. Good food. Free food. I know I’m not supposed to lead with that but, ironically, free stuff sells, especially food!

2. See everything Kaleidescape has to offer, think of it as a test drive.

3. Be privy to exclusive promotions and special pricing just for attending!

4. Meet Jason Seyen, Regional Kaleidescape Representative.

5. Learn how Kaleidescape can be entertaining and enjoyed by the whole family.

6. Discover additional features for your existing Kaleidescape system.

7. Great pricing & special offers available...only to attendees!

8. Let us show you how Kaleidescape will make your life easier and more relaxing.

9. We have Kaleidescape in my house and there’s not a day we don’t use it, seriously!

10. It’s free to attend, and don’t forget, free to eat!

We know you want to join us this Saturday, Aug. 13 from 11am-1pm at the Timonium Showroom, so send us your RSVP to events@gramophone.com.

And don’t forget the best part, you could be leaving Gramophone with one of the coolest items home entertainment has to offer!

Gramophone Presents: Kaleidescape

You’ve got the ultimate movie collection, right? From your selection of flicks that the guys enjoy to the films that just the kids watch, you’ve dedicated a lot of time and effort to keep them organized and within reach. But now you want something to store all of your DVDs. No more flipping through boxes or searching through selves to find the movie you’re looking for. On Saturday August 13th, the Gramophone showroom in Timonium will be hosting a fun, family-friendly event showcasing the revolutionary Kaleidescape system.

What is Kaleidescape?
Maybe you’ve already heard of Kaleidescape. Maybe you already own a system. But if you’re new to the device, be ready to be blown away! Kaleidescape is a centrally located, house-wide DVD storage system that lets you play any film in your collection instantly. With its interactive and vibrant cover flow, each of your DVDs unique art comes alive. Or you can search through your collection by list or collection viewing, allowing you to browse movies by genre, cast, or even upload date. Yes, Kaleidescape does bring the ‘experience’ to the casual movie watching afternoon.

Why come to the Kaleidescape Event?
So you’ve got the basics of Kaleidescape under your belt. You know how to upload videos (and even CDs) to your system. You know how to browse your collection, and pause/play movies to watch them from different rooms. But do you know how to take advantage of every feature of your system? Come to Gramophone of Timonium on Saturday August 13 from 11:00am to 1:00pm to learn how to integrate features such as a Blu-ray Modular Disc Vault or the child-friendly remote into your system. Experience Kaleidescape at your fingertips on the Crestron touch-panel home automation display pad or even on the iPad! With the experts at Gramophone ready to answer your questions, you will become an pro on everything there is to know about Kaleidescape!

NuVision: Anything less than the best isn't good enough.

Over the years, Gramophone has developed a reputation for selecting and providing the best in consumer electronics.  So, it comes with no surprise that Gramophone has brought into the mix a new company with a new vision.  NuVision is a premiere TV manufacturer that is American engineered and designed.

Never heard of them? That's pretty likely but won't be that way for long,  NuVision has made a splash in consumer electronics that is here to stay. They offer 19"-72" LCD and LED models that can be equipped with the latest 3D technology. These  televisions look so amazing because only the finest, and most advance parts are used to build them.

"To achieve a superior image, we start with only the best components, cut no corners, engineer proprietary hardware and firmware solutions for the most critical circuitry, and spend 4 to 6 times longer than the typical TV manufacturer optimizing our designs and tuning our sets before they leave the factory." - NuVision.

So the picture is breathtaking, the footprint is minimal, their bezel is extruded aluminum not plastic, and there are no distracting logos or framing components that make the panel look odd. NuVision's attention to architectural lines allow the product to be seamlessly incorporated into any room. 

So what could be better? How about having the ability to customize your TV with a UColor feature that allows you to customize the frame with any color or design you provide. NuVision's options for customization don't stop at the color choices for the bezel.  Options also allow for specific sized televisions to become a full mirror when turned off.  So picture this, your TV doesn't need to look like a TV anymore.  When wall mounted it's just a slim, sleek mirror.

Since the parts used are the best, attention to detail is of the highest tier why not warranty it the longest? NuVision has the industry's best "White Glove" service agreement and offers a 2 year hassle free warranty on every set. They take it one step further by guaranteeing a 48 hour turn around repair or replacement within receiving word of a problem.

In mid-October 2010, Gramophone participated in NuVision's U.S. launch of their televisions, and hosted an event, "Indulge The Senses" over two days.

Ultimately words can't describe these televisions, so I invite you into our showrooms for a demonstration of what could be possibly the finest flat panels made.
