ELAN ships 10-inch VIA! Valet10.0-EM home automation panel

If you thought Control4's 7-inch POE touch panel was on the large size, get a load of this. ELAN has just started shipping its 10.2-inch widescreen VIA! Valet10.0-EM, which will obviously look mighty peculiar in all but the most spacious of dens. Not surprisingly, ELAN even affirms that yes, this ginormous (comparatively speaking) display can indeed double as a video monitor, which certainly opens up even more possibilities. The unit features rear-placed Ethernet, power and sense input triggers needed for installation, but unless you've got $2,000 laying around unclaimed, that image above is as close as you'll get.

archaic before it even comes out . .
a shame how ugly the interface is . .

will people not innovate until they are forced to?

i myself am looking forward to more from colorado vNet

thats a slick interface . .

(then again, the ipod touch/iphone might eventually make all of this obsolete )
