Hide it – If it’s just the way the TV looks above the fireplace that you don’t like, there are several ways to disguise even a really large TV.įirst, the best way I’ve seen to disguise a TV is behind a sliding panel or a paneled cabinet. To make this work, you need to have the ability to darken the room with drapes if you are watching your favorite show in the daytime.ĥ. The limiting factor with using a projector is that the visibility is not great if it’s daytime and your room gets lots of natural light. You don’t need special sound systems with a projector either.
