If you are shopping for a flat panel television, you have almost definitely been approached by a following dilemma: what type of a flat panel television to get – Lcd or Plasma? If you are like most people, you probably don’t care about all the fancy technologies behind Lcd or Plasma displays (which differ greatly by the way), but you should know that choosing the right display for your TV room is crucial to achieving 100% satisfaction with picture quality.

You probably heard about the difference in picture quality when comparing plasma and Lcd TVs.  Older LCD technology didn’t allow for a smooth transition of fast moving images and caused drag – this is no longer a factor, since Lcd TV manufacturers have finally found a way to avoid this. Although plasma continues to be a leader when it comes to black level control (contrast level when displaying dark and black images), Lcd TV’s are starting to level with plasma through addition of technologies like Lcd backlighting.  So don’t make your decision based solely on the hype that plasma TVs are better when it comes to picture quality.

Maggie M. from Glenview, IL desperately sought a way to conceal her kitchen TV because it was always in the way.  The TV sat on the counter top, it was not only an eye sore but also a huge inconvenience, taking away a lot of counter space. We have suggested a number of solutions.  One option was to mount an articulating arm to a wall under the cabinet, so the TV itself is off the counter, and somewhat easy to tuck away.  But then an idea came to our heads… After careful measuring we concluded that the TV is a perfect size to be put into the glass door cabinet itself.  Maggie liked the idea of having the TV in the cabinet, but didn’t want to loose all the cabinet space the TV would take.  So we  mounted the TV to the cabinet door.  Although the installation was somewhat tricky,  it turned out to be a great accomplishment,  we not only concealed the TV perfectly, we also saved Maggie all the cabinet space she needed.

Look at the finished project.

We have finally launched our blog.  We hope it will educate you on various types of latest trends in home audio & video installation and possibly help you determine which technologies to use in your house.
