I like your screen name -- you definitely backed it up with your points. The "mono" bit was really about stereo separation across small distances. We would have wrapped all the SRS announcements together, but the Vizio one came separately (and before) the Sharp and Olevia release.

Seriously, thanks for chiming in -- I think we both share a desire to get people better audio, within their budget. Like I said at the end of the post, I don't want folks to be "missing out" on the better experience provided by improved sound. A psychoacoustic solution like SRS is a step up, but it still can't beat discrete channels, IMHO.
