This is a really cool idea and I think it would be even more impressive with a plasma TV!

I have found what many have been looking for: a quiet motorized art screen that moves up with the click of a remote control button to allow viewing of a flat screen, flat panel or Plasma TV, and then with another click of the button, the artwork reappears, hiding the television!

Mmm, I have seen this kind of set-up in a few houses…

The only thing I gotta say here, is that you need to make sure that the heat is directed away from the TV set.. This particular pic looks fine, but I have see one where the TV was (although higher) slightly in-front of the fire.. You can imagine the result..

Just be careful that’s all I’m saying…

Take care,
