My dream TV is one with good picture and sount that can be folded up and put away in some hidden corner of the room when not in use. I used to put a table top over my TV and cover it with a floor length cloth. My bog advancement was moving the TV into the living room and leaving it exposed.

We actually do that a lot where I work. (a custom cabinet co. / home theater electronics / install's etc.) Generalizing here... Men buy huge TV's and women come in with the goal of disguising it so it's not a big black box in the middle of the room when not in use. Various doors that slide in and out, or covers that are actually paintings that slide away when you want to watch TV. You can even go with projection TV's that have a slide down screen when you want to watch (but require a fairly dark room for viewing.) We put in nice media pullouts to house all the DVd's and video games - even these neat pull out racks for equipment so you can get to the back to them easier when needed.
