Flat Screen TV Console
From LCDs to plasmas, these televisions sit directly on the wall without any trouble (so the manufacturer says), but is it really that simple? You may find that a flat screen tv console is a much better way to store your new television.
While manufacturers love to boast that their televisions are nothing short of the latest work of art, those that have these new sets know that they tend to be rather ugly and obtrusive. This is largely due to the fact that most flat panels protrude from the wall at least three inches. Additionally, there is a whole slew of equipment that goes with the television creating a rather unattractive look. So, what is a homeowner to do? Well, consider taking a peek into the world of flat screen tv consoles instead.
Now, If you are thinking about those oversized television armoires when you think of furniture to store your flat panel, think again. Television technology has progressed by leaps and bounds, so it just makes sense that television furniture would progress too, doesn’t it? Thanks to many innovative furniture companies, there are now numerous ways to store your television out of sight. For example, one major furniture maker has created a bureau that not only stores your television, but retracts your television when it is not in use. Like something out of a James Bond movie, this piece of furniture includes a mechanism that allows the user to sink the television out of sight when it is not needed.
While this flat screen tv console sounds like the perfect solution, you should know that any type of high-end piece will also cost quite a bit. If you have money to burn, why not have a custom piece made for you? If the idea of spending more than $7000 on a piece of furniture makes you choke, experts advise that you begin looking for your ideal bureau or armoire when you begin shopping for your television. The good news is that more and more companies are coming up with ways to disguise the, not so sleek, flat panel, so you should be able to find something in your price range without a lot of trouble.
If you think that you can just hang that television and be done with it, you may be mistaken. Thankfully, there are many other options out there.
Flat screen tv consoles are now in almost every furniture store that you visit, so take the time to shop around. If all else fails, you can hire a designer to build you a custom piece – just make sure to start saving up now.
