A five-display video wall shines in this ESPN-style sports bar.

What began as a show home for the 2010 Parade of Homes in Colorado Springs, Co., quickly became the crown jewel of this abode. As is often the case with show homes, the builder was the one who invited electronic systems contractor Colorado Media Systems to the party, and the homeowner had little direct involvement. The company’s main goal was to install a jaw-dropping residential fun room that would put even the plushest of sports bars to shame.

Aside from the sporty ambience, the main attraction here is the five-display video wall. President Glenn Montjoy and his team at Colorado Media Systems installed four 46-inch Samsung LCD TVs to flank a 55-inch Samsung LCD on a motorized mount.

These TVs are fed by five high-def Comcast cable boxes via a Video Storm component video A/V matrix. “This is a sports fan’s dream,” says Montjoy. “It’s the perfect environment and a wonderful setup for watching multiple sporting events.”

A Control4 system manages the video wall, allowing the homeowner to watch all five TVs at once, with room-wide audio corresponding to the main, 55-inch TV. Creating a video wall can be a complex undertaking for even the most skilled contractors, but Montjoy swears by creative programming.

New York Mets third baseman David Wright is downgrading from a three-bedroom unit in the Flat Iron District to a two-bedroom property in the Upper East Side.

Many people purchase a home hoping to net a profit. It looks like the New York Mets’ David Wright is no different.

The third baseman recently put his 4,100 sq ft. penthouse on the market for $7.85 million. Wright purchased the full-floor living quarters in 2006 for $6.1 million. Upgrades to the 3-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom dwelling, including a hot tub and state-of-the-art sound system on the top floor, are some of the improvements that could yield a high offer.

He’s also outfitted the media room with five TVs so no game (or mob movie — check out his movie poster collection on the wall) is missed.

The famed bachelor has downgraded to a two-bedroom unit located in the Upper East Side for $12,000 a month.
