They say, "go big or go home," and that's exactly what Sony has done with its latest flat-panel TV. The 100-inch flat-panel now gives you the option to use a TV instead of a projector for the epic-size display you’ve always wanted in your media room.

Of course, size isn't everything with TV displays. A giant picture without the color, contrast, and clarity you want will not deliver a great viewing experience. As Sony is a longtime leader in image technologies, this TV also takes picture quality to another level with the Cognitive Processor XR, shaping a more natural image by understanding how humans see and hear.

Is the Bravia XR X92 the super-sized Sony 4K TV you’ve been waiting for? You’re in luck, as you can see it for yourself in our Marietta showroom! Now keep reading below for more of the details to see if this is your next TV.

Needless to say, no one likes acne. But there is a way to ditch those switches and replace them with lighting controls that not only meld with your décor but also become a stylish part of it. Replacing your switches with an intelligent whole-home lighting control system and smart keypads will make it so much easier to manage your Duluth, GA home’s illumination.
