Hiding a Plasma Screen

[papostol]

Hi All,

I'm installing a 50" plasma over a fireplace and the client is looking to hide the screen while not in use. I saw the the artwork that goes up and down but are there any other options?

The artwork is in the range of $7,000 and requires 8" of depth. At least the one I looked at did.

Any great ideas out there???

Thanks and looking forward to the ideas?

There are art lifts out there that aren't as crazy expensive and there is also one-way mirror. The later really requires the plasma to be framed in, so care in ventilation is required.

I'm not brainstorming anything else though.

A guy that works for me made a pair of decorative doors and hung them with hidden hinges to cover his in the same scenario. You can get a flush door and add moldings to it to spruce it up. I'ts a low cost alternative, unless you get into exotic woods.

I suppose if you wanted to go really inexpensive you could mount a canvas picture on a single hidden hinge setup. Even cooler for not a lot would be to have a photo on both sides of the image so when you open it up a full 180 degrees it will then be a photo flanking the display.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'm looking into a Media Mirror. The stuff is crazy. Metal shadow box with temp. controlled fans and unlimited frames.

Panasonic makes decorative picture frames that cover the bezel for about $400. I assume that you could have a frame shop fabricate one for far less $.
