Dr. Luis E. Testimonial
January 7th, 2011 by Jason Brager at
Dear Mr. Brager:
I want to express my sincere appreciation to Michael “Mickey” Tinder for not only his time but expertise in helping me arrive at a new viewing experience which is the basis for my wife’s birthday present. All of our former large screen TV purchases have been from The Big Screen Store, the last being some 8 years or so ago when we purchased the first Mitsubishi HD rear projection set, ours being a 65″ model. Alas, the picture started to go and my wife hinted at her wish to have a new TV for her birthday.
Over three separate visits to the The Big Screen Store in Fairfax, Mickey spent hours demonstrating the various technologies and models available…I finally settled on a 58″ 3D Panasonic Plasma screen with the “works”…having to upgrade to a HDMI and 3D capable receiver, etc.
Please extend my thanks and appreciation to Mickey.
Luis

Sir,
The rest of our purchase arrived today; three bookcases and a large 4 piece entertainment center. I have to say that the quality of the workmanship and care the delivery crew displayed have yet to be beat. We’ve filled most of our home with furniture from a store with a large reputation and they don’t come close to the quality of what we purchased from your store. I wanted to post a comment on the web site but, unable to find a way to do so, figured this was just about as good.
My thanks to all,
Dave

Home Theater Seating and Reclining Furniture
November 16th, 2010 by Jason Brager at
You’ve picked out your new HDTV. You’ve got a killer surround sound system. You get it all setup and then you go sit down to turn it on and enjoy it. It looks great. It sounds great, but something just isn’t right. You just can’t get comfortable. At The Big Screen Store, we carry a wide assortment of reclining sofas, chairs, and sectionals, in addition to a full line of home theater seating.
We’ve all purchased a comfortable new sofa or chair, only to find that shortly after purchasing it, it has worn out and isn’t so comfortable any longer. Not all seating is equal! We carry only the top brands, backed by warranties that ensure you will enjoy your seating for many years to come.
If you’re looking for home theater seating, Berkline has the market cornered. I own a set of 45099′s myself and fall asleep in them at least once a week. I recommend getting the power recline option. For an extra $100 per chair, it’s a great value. I only have one powered chair in my set of 5 and there is nothing more frustrating than sitting in one of the non-powered chairs and not being able to get it to stay in the position I’m most comfortable in. Almost all Berkline seats are available in your choice of leather or microfiber and in hundreds of different colors. It’s all custom, so you pick the design to fit your room! We even have some Berkline chairs IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY! If you waited too long to special order something and need something for the holidays, we’ve got it!
If you’re looking for high quality reclining sofas and sectionals, Lane, Flexsteel, and Berkline are all great choices. The Flexsteel Brandon group is one of our most popular sellers. It is very affordable and offers a rocker/recliner loveseat with a cupholder and storage console in between the two seats. The Lane Bandit is also a great choice. It is a big, plush, power reclining sofa covered in soft leather that just begs to be sat in. Assuming you like your significant other, try the “snuggler.” It’s an extra-wide chair with room for two. If you’re looking for a big, soft, reclining sectional checkout the Berkline 496 group. At $2999 for a 11′ x 11′ sectional with 3 power reclining seats, it’s a lot for the money and will easily seat your family and friends.
Remember, when you purchase seating with your new TV, we setup great package discounts. So, when you’re planning that great home theater, don’t overlook one of the most important features, the seat you’ll be in when you want to enjoy the big game or a long movie. As anyone who has sat in a worn-out movie theater seat for too long knows, even the best setup isn’t entertaining if you aren’t comfortable while you’re watching it.

Baker Road Furniture
November 1st, 2010 by Jason Brager at
Too many customers focus on the television, only to forget about the piece of furniture they are going to put it on. Even if you’re going to get a nice new flat screen and hang it on the wall, you still need a place for your cable box or satellite receiver, game systems, bluray player, A/V receiver, etc. We have partnered with an incredible company, Baker Road Furniture, to provide a huge assortment of custom designed credenzas and entertainment centers for all types of TVs. Located in Elgin, Illinois, just outside of Chicago, they are one of the last manufacturers in the furniture industry that can claim their furniture is 100% made in the USA. They are also one of few that uses NO particle board in their construction. All of their cabinet are 100% wood, with solid doors, drawers, and moldings. They are so confident in their quality that they back their furniture with a 10 year limited warranty!
Baker Road offers three distinctive styles, including Shaker, Contemporary, and New Traditional. All styles are offered in Oak, Maple, and Cherry in a total of 11 hand rubbed colors. All are finished off with their Crystal Guard catalyzed lacquer topcoat for superior resistance to water, alcohol, scratching and marring.
Unlike most furniture stores where everything is special ordered with 8 to 12 weeks of lead time, we stock a huge assortment of Baker Road furniture so that you can have your new TV and cabinet delivered within 24 to 48 hours. If we don’t stock what we’re looking for, we can special order exactly what you want and usually have it within 6 to 8 weeks.
We take our knowledge of the electronics industry and work with Baker Road to design pieces that fill our customers’ needs. Many of our credenzas offer storage for center channel speakers behind a hidden screen. We offer hutches and wall units that make a big DLP look just like a flat panel television by hiding the sides and back. We also offer solutions for hanging a flat panel on one of these gorgeous piece of furniture. We have dozens of styles on display in our showrooms, so stop in and take a look!

3D TVs- Do you always have to wear glasses?
October 23rd, 2010 by Jason Brager at
Many of our customers are asking if they ALWAYS have to wear glasses after purchasing a 3DTV. The answer? “Absolutely not!”
In most cases, 3D TVs are also the best 2D TVs. The 3D sets are the highest end models that manufacturers are offering and all of the internal components, video processors, and scalers are the best that manufacturers have to offer. Then, when you want to watch a 3D bluray disc, play a game in 3D, or watch a 3D broadcast, you put the TV and device in “3D mode,” pop on your 3D glasses, and enjoy TV in a “whole new dimension” (pardon the pun). Anyone not wearing the 3D glasses will see a double image. Most people today will enjoy 90+% of their TV viewing in 2D. As more and more content becomes available, we’ll be doing more and more 3D viewing.
Take advantage of some great promotions from Panasonic and Samsung. Through the end of the month, both manufacturers are offering free 3D bluray players and free 3D starter kits (which include 2 pairs of 3D glasses and a 3D bluray disc) with the purchase of one of their 3D sets. The Panasonic VT25 series won “Best in Show” at the Consumer Electronics Show and comes in sizes from 50″ to 65″. If you’re looking for an LED, the Samung C7000 or C8000 series are both great sets and come in sizes ranging from 40″ to 65″. Remember though, when it comes to 3D, processing speed and size are king. My recommendation is the Panasonic TC-P65VT25 if you’re looking for a flat panel. If depth is not a concern, check out the 73″ and 82″ Mitsubishi DLP sets. The only thing better than watching a 3D movie on an 82″ TV is watching the Ravens win on an 82″ TV. Hopefully we’ll be able to do that in 3D soon too!

Customer Testimonial from Edward K
October 21st, 2010 by Jason Brager at
Dear Mr. Brager:
This is a follow-up to my telephone conversation with you this morning on the outstanding customer service provided by Alfred Adjin in your Rockville showroom. My first experience with Alfred was earlier this year when he was with Myer Emco and we purchased a TV. Before the TV was delivered Myer Emco closed its stores and went out of business.
I was so pleased to find Alfred at The Big Screen Store and with his good help my wife and I purchased a Samsung C6800 with all the accessories he recommended. It was installed on schedule and worked fine for several weeks until we encountered a problem with the Harmony 900 remote. One call to Alfred was all that was needed. He very promptly had a technician come out who found that the problem was not the remote but needed an adjustment on one of the boxes. Following this adjustment by the technician, the TV, Harmony remote and all accessories are working beautifully. During this short period while the problem was being worked on Alfred called several times following up on the situation. He wanted to be sure that the situation was being resolved.
All too often, once the sale is closed the problems go to the “back burner” – not with Alfred. He stayed with the problem until he was satisfied we were with good service. This is especially important when the sale involves a product that is highly complex and technical like a TV with all the “bells and whistles.” I told Alfred that any time The Big Screen Store needs a recommendation to call me.
You have an excellent sales representative in Alfred and every reason to be proud of him. Making the sale is only one goal – having a satisfied and pleased customer base is far more important to the long-range success of any retail business involving “big ticket” products like TVs and electronics. Alfred is outstanding!
Sincerely,
Edward K.

Bose Lifestyle Home Entertainment Systems
October 20th, 2010 by Jason Brager at
The good news when deciding whether to purchase the Bose Lifestyle V25 Home Entertainment System, or the Bose Lifestyle V35 Home Entertainment system, is you can’t go wrong. The V25 has a ton of great features for a reasonable price. The V25 and the V35 offer the Unify intelligent integration system. This system simply makes installation a breeze. You don’t have to be a technological wizard, to experience a fantastic home theater in no time.
One of the cooler features of the V25 Home entertainment system is the ADAPTiQ audio collaboration system. This system will automatically scan the room detecting the acoustics, and then adjusting to ensure the highest quality sound.
The quality doesn’t end there, with an iPod dock station, which will charge your iPod or iPhone, while still allowing playback, using a state of the art Bose remote. Users are also able to scan both AM, and FM radio at their convenience.
The Bose Lifestyle V35 Home Entertainment system, improves upon the V25 experience by adding, state of the art Jewel Cube speakers. The sound quality is second to none. The V35 still offers the iPod dock for your iPod or iPhone, and the ADAPTiQ system will still adjust to provide perfect sound quality with the improved speakers.
The state of the art, Backlit remote for the V35 Home Entertainment System, has fewer buttons, is better organized, and provides a light for use in dark rooms. This upgrade makes navigating through the different uses of your system, as simple as possible. In both Bose systems it is clear that the company wanted the set-up of their system to be easier for users. Both systems, literally give the customer a step by step guide for setup. Bose obviously, believes in making the home theater experience, something for everyone.
These entertainment systems are perfect for the family with different interests, as both systems offer 6 outlets for your, Blu-Ray player, PlayStation, Xbox, iPod, or other technologies. Navigating these systems is a breeze as they can be viewed on the drop down lists, provided by these systems. If you’re looking for simplicity and high quality entertainment, the Bose V25 or V35 Home Entertainment Systems, are tough to beat.
