The JVC D-Series in the back showing the typical outward CRT bubble, my C6 OLED showing the reverse curve & the epic BVM-D32 showing its flat CRT.
I know I've posted this before, but I wanted to share it one more time :)

...and oh yeah, you can just route the stream signal right through the Extron switch! That's a much better idea. And I love that the 19" showing the stream will be the first thing people see when they walk in :)
