Framing your TV Set

The New York Times reports on consumers who are framing their flat pannel screens on the wall.

"Many people like the look of a flat-panel television hanging on the living room wall — so long as something’s on. Turn the set off, though, and the blank screen becomes an eyesore to those who want a TV to disappear when they aren’t watching it.

Companies that traditionally frame mirrors and paintings are creating special frames for wall-mounted televisions. The artful frames, many of them gilded replicas of classic designs.

... There is also a TV disguiser: a treated glass, inserted in some frames, that is a mirror when the TV is off, but is transparent when the set is on."
