The least expensive versions are usually those that fit flush around the TV screen. Larger, heavier frames require a hanging bracket and are more complicated to install. A homeowner can choose a frame to complement the rest of the interior design, whether it is traditional, contemporary or transitional.

For those who want the screen completely out of sight, there is a glass application that is clear when the TV is on, and becomes a mirror when it is turned off. A more formal look is a unit with doors that slide over the screen to look like furniture or artwork.

Yet another option is to have a painting on a motorized canvas that rolls up when someone wants to watch TV, and unfurls over the screen when the set is turned off. "You can have a piece of artwork custom designed, or choose a stock one, but it has to be a canvas that rolls," Kubli says. "It's a high-end option, but it can be beautiful." ■
