The World of Hidden Televisions
Occasionally we hear from customers who are interested in integrating HDTVs into their living room, den, or bathroom, but are concerned about a large TV shifting the focal point of the room in an undesirable way. Situations like this are great candidates for hidden televisions.ArtscreensA common request for hidden TVs comes from homeowners who have a fireplace in their living room. Simply mounting a bulky TV above the fireplace has the potential to disrupt the ambiance or charm of the room. This calls for a bit of creativity and this is where Artscreens really shine. Imagine, instead of a TV mounted front and center, there’s a framed reprint from your favorite artist. When it comes time for your favorite show a simple click of a button on your wireless remote triggers the canvas to roll up and unmasks a fully functional 1080p display. Artscreen manufacturer, Vutec offers an impressive library of fine art canvases and frames to choose from.

Another option that’s touted as the cutting edge of technology and style is the Seura line of TV Mirrors. TV mirrors are an innovative concept that merges a mirror and an LCD TV together into one unit. The LCD display is actually contained within the mirror and becomes completely invisible when powered off. We find that this is another great solution for home theater enthusiasts interested in maintaining their home’s aesthetic appeal while utilizing the latest home entertainment technology. Alternatively, TV Mirrors can offer a slick solution to bringing a slice of the home theater experience to a bathroom or bedroom with a minimal footprint. Motorized TV LiftsEvery so often we hear from customers who want their TVs completely hidden without a trace. In this scenario we often utilize Auton motorized TV lifts. With motorized lifts installed, customers have the ability to extend, lower, and swivel their TV from within a cabinet, wall, or ceiling into plain site.

Hidden ProjectorsHidden projectors and screens arguably have the biggest impact in a home theater setup and certainly create quite a buzz. When engaged, the projector and screen lower from the ceiling. When paired with in-wall and in-ceiling speakers it reveals a complete home theater system. The best part about this setup is that it can theoretically turn any capable room into a complete home theater without modifying the décor or furniture.
