NuVision ships Deep Black 1080p LCDs

Arizona manufacturer NuVision has begun shipping a pair of 1080p LCDs -- the 42-inch 42LCM1 and 47-inch 47LCM1 -- intended for custom installers and specialty retailers. The sets include those extra features and electronics that cater to high-end audiences, including NiDO image optimization and color processing, Crestron-certified RS-232 control with IR pass through for home automation, and 6ms response times. The 42LCM1 is available for $3,199, and the 47LCM1 can be had for $4,199 -- small prices to pay to "buy American."

I still don't understand why things like RS232, IR pass through, and direct access IR codes are "high-end". At least for IR pass through and direct access IR codes, it costs next to nothing to include those features, maybe 5 dollars or less per set? I'd pay it to get down to one remote that can ACTUALLY control everything.

i've integrated IR blasters before and it's not that too much trouble to do it. And it's definitely not worth any premium a manufacturer tried to push on us
