How to hide a big TV
Discussion
Friends have one of these

I think they're better suited to a darker room, a lighter room gets a lot of glare, but it does look very inconspicuous particularly if your TV is a single cable one that you can chase into the wall.

How about getting a smaller telly for downstairs and move the big telly upstairs and stick it under the bed. ?

I hate big TV’s, but my wife loves them. We looked at getting a Samsung ‘the frame’ as a compromise, but too expensive, so went for a 200 foot (or at least it seems like it) Hisense (ok, it’s 75”).
To be fair, the picture is fantastic.
However, in typical style, my wife spends most of her time watching films on her iPad, and we barely use the telly.
Including the media stuff (router, bt box, Xbox), what would the easiest way to ‘hide’ it, or at least make it less conspicuous? It’s a 250 year old house, very solid walls, so I want something at least reasonably sympathetic to a listed property. Best I can think is to box it in, with anything with any ‘depth’ (like the Xbox) mounted vertically. But we would need some form of roller/tambour type arrangement to easily watch tv, as there isn’t any room for opening doors on either side (which would look horrible in use anyway).
Any tips, or pictures of solutions welcome. Excuse the mess, the dogs had just murdered their new dog bed…

Amazing TV.
It stays on 24/7., (ours is a 24/7 workplace operation)
I have asked everyone not to switch it off, ever.
Just leave it on for good.

bit of a thread hijack... but what TV stand is that? To be fair, the picture is fantastic.

Not really sure what I'm looking at tbh, what is the door on the left you can't open and the door on the right behind the heater?
I'm just trying to understand the room, surely that wall isn't the focal point of the room?
If you think in terms of the overall aesthetic, if it's just a wall mounted tv, even a council sized one, with hidden cables, so long as it's the focal point of a normal room, that's ok.
It's what I have, plus wall mounted kef speakers and all the boxes in a lovely glass fronted mahogany hifi cabinet off to the side on another wall.
I'm known for my good taste.

You do realise that is a very very expensive lift! I bought one for a customer 5 years ago and it was many £k.https://youtu.be/rSC9ioNoIUA
How big is the tvand the space?
Many be an ultra short throw projector and a push up screen?
Or something like a picture lift or split that moves a licture out of the way, revealing the tv.
Still not cheap solutions.
Actaully, how about a full height sideboard/dresser design with folding, pocket doors that fold back on themselves and then slide into the sides of the cabinet.

Though less expensive than this option.

The pictures of these are massively misleading. My friend bought one so it would fit in better with the decor in their old house. The frame bit looks fine but the picture looks nothing like a painting/photo. It's clearly a lit TV screen showing a static image.
