There is something a little annoying about trying to do interior design with modern flat screens. They’re just so big you can’t help but have to build an entire room around them. Older house living rooms can’t even easily accommodate them.
I’ve often contemplated a concept of a rear projection TV where it’s normally kind of small and a piece of furniture, but when you want to have a home cinema experience you flick a switch and it, instead, projects back to a big screen when you feel like reconfiguring your whole living room to watch a movie.

Would have loved to read more of this, a shame that the "100 years of television design" on display only reach from 1920 to 1970.
Tell me about it! For 100 years we got 3 examples! Not even one per decade. :-(
