Hide Your Plasma TV Behind a Fireplace
There are those that like to show off their home theater gear, and others who prefer a more discrete approach. For the latter group comes a plasma television cabinet that also happens to be a fireplace. Similar to other motorized display cabinets, the plasma screen is situated on a lift that raises and lowers it on command. Sadly, the included fireplace isn’t really a fireplace by the true definition of the word. Actually, its called a flame effect fire that has no real flame, but does contain an electric convection heater that churns out 2kW (approx. 6800 BTUs) of heat. (So much for roasting chestnuts over an open fire.)
A variety of styles are offered and prices range from approximately $3,700 to $9,100 USD. Ouch.

Nice! I want one
To be honest, it looks a little too high up for my liking, but I’m sure that can be changed.

That is the tackiest thing I have ever seen, especially the two tier illar effect, class.

That’s interesting.
Here’s another idea. LCD Cabinet makes a big modern mirror that hides a television. It’s remote controlled and motorized, so push a button and the mirror glides out of the way to reveal your plasma or LCD TV.

There are some fireplaces just like this one that are far less expensive and provide the sam look and feel. Some manufactuers to look at for an alternative would be Dimplex and Classic Flame.

That’s a very impressive setup with the plasma tv hidden away in the fireplace. You can have a cozy looking fire when you want and watch television at other times. Still, it is a fairly expensive luxury but if you have the money to put into it, a very cool idea.

I always thought it was kind of funny to have a fake/virtual fire or such. however, I know some people who love it and this looks nice, so maybe I will look into it.
