ӏt’s recommended to not mount TV up too high, avoiding this way the neck pains caused by muscles forcing. An n-port HDMI switch receives HDMI signals from n HDMI sources. The source and display will arbitrate for the best available format.

In schematics, you typed wrong name of CPLD. I would put something like 100uF (diameter 6.3mm) on output of 7805 …

I like the helpful info you provide in your articles.
I’ll bookmark your weblog and check again here regularly.
I am quite sure I will learn a lot of new stuff right here!
Good luck for the next!

This design is steller! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
