A question for the A/V people on the site...
My wife and I are considering putting a TV in our bedroom. The room is pre-wired (coax-in and electricity) for a TV to be mounted high in one corner of the room. We plan to get a flat screen, and have it mounted slightly at an angle, perpendicular to the sight line from the bed against the opposite wall to the TV.
However, we'd like to be able to watch DVDs (or maybe Bluerays sometime in the future) on this set, as well as a DVR. So we need a place to put these components.
Nothing in the immediate vicinity of the TV seems really practical. Mounting them below the TV will result in these bulky components sticking out, wrecking the visual streamlining obtained from a plasma or LCD television. It might be possible to put something behind the TV, but it could still look unsightly, might be difficult to mount with the television support bracket, and may be difficult to access for changing discs (and it's my understanding that many DVD/blueray players won't function if placed vertically).
Does anyone here have any ideas, and/or have you seen any creative ways people have dealt with this issue?
