So I found this little snippit while looking around.
Isolation Devices

"Another recommended use is placement under Projection TV. A friend's help is required to place one AudioPoint under each corner of the TV. Sit back, focus and watch the stunning visual transformation. Over the course of the next 20 minutes your Projection TV will become more natural to flesh tones, edging becomes more defined and as you pass the 10-minute mark the picture quality becomes more three-dimensional. The overall visual effect will take a few days to complete simply because of gravity and its relationship to the video projection reproduction process."

REALLY...What do think??

    It will only work if you put a bag of brilliant pebbles on the front right corner of the set.

    Here is another tweak that appears "magical" in its abilities. A CD that improves your amp when it is played. Vinyl can't touch this.

    How about "not a good sign" when people are stupid enough to fall for some of this crap.

    Seriously......altering gravity? What these people have 'altered' is nothing other than their minds......and that has ZERO to do with any pods you put under the TV.....

    I even heard somebody say that buying a $1000 power cord will improve sound as well. Ha ha what a silly bunch of people they all are.

    Power cords can change the sound of the component they're used on.

    Kinda resembles the "musical transformation" guys experience when they swap out cables. Hey if pixie dust works for the audio crowd, why not the video crowd. They have to have some fun too!!! :D

    Pixie dust, pods, anti gravity mats, stones, blocks of rare wood, and esoteric cables are all good! All of these items are being made because people want them whether they work or not. If a guy believes placing stones at specific points in his room shows him heaven, then I would guess it was worth it to him, whatever the cost.

    Yes, 1K power cords do make a difference. 1K worth? decided by the buyer.
