They’re not likening it to swine flu just yet, but NBC recently gave some Nightly News airtime to a report about the dangers of TVs when it comes to children’s safety. For anyone whose toddler likes to run up and push things—like TVs—or grab books and remotes from on top of the TVs, you know this can be a major hazard. Hopefully you haven’t encountered it.

And if you have an even newer flat panel display that is less than two inches in thickness, why not try to get that TV right up… View this story

Bonus rooms over garages are notorious for having slanted walls, angled ceilings and other structural abnormalities. With flat surfaces in short supply, it can be difficult to find a good spot for a plasma or LCD TV. Audio Input of Joplin, MO, devised a clever solution to this common problem while designing an entertainment system for a bonus room-turned-guest suite. The best location for a TV in a bedroom is typically the wall directly across from the bed. Unfortunately, in this project that particular wall… View this story

The jury is still out as to whether it’s a good idea to put a flat-panel TV over the fireplace. Some home theater designers think the spot is too hot for the TV’s well-being; others cite the position as being too high for comfortable viewing; and there are those that find the area too difficult to access when they’re ready to connect wires. However, there are ways to make the over-the-mantle location more amenable to technology, says Ian Bryant, senior programmer at Tri-Phase Technologies in… View this story

Covering flat-panel TV with artwork is an effective way of sprucing up a set when it’s not being used. Many manufacturers offer motorized canvas designed to quietly roll over the display. Installed inside a slim housing that’s mounted at the top of a TV, the canvas can showcase art that complements the room design. When you’re ready to watch a movie or TV program, a press of a button engages the motor which lifts the canvas back into the housing. Motorized artwork, like the ArtScreen… View this story
