Pop up, slide out or drop down, there are hideaway options for every type of TV and projection screen.<\/p>\n

Bubbling with A\/V<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/a>
\n<\/strong>This homeowner can watch TV in the bathroom from a 30-inch Mitsubishi set that lowers and rotates on a ceiling lift. Because of the rotating lift, the TV can be watched from the shower (not pictured). In-ceiling speakers are installed above each side of the dual-sided vanity, allowing the homeowner to tap into FM, AM, XM and hard-drive-based music stored on a Kaleidescape system.<\/p>\n

Great Room Secrets<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/a>
\nA custom-crafted motorized lift allows a 55-inch plasma TV in the great room to be raised or lowered at the push of a button from the Crestron touchpanel. The room\u2019s audio is well-concealed, too, with in-wall speakers and subwoofers installed behind the bookshelves.<\/p>\n

Maximizing Kitchen Space<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"C.I.S.<\/a>
\n<\/strong>To maximize every square inch of space in their kitchen, the homeowners stowed a 32-inch Sharp LCD TV inside the cabinet by the computer table. Pressing a button on a Crestron touchpanel engages a motorized platform which lifts the set out of its hiding place.<\/p>\n

Concealed in the Bedroom<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/a>
\n<\/strong>TVs play the now-you-see-them, now-you-don\u2019t game in the master suite of this home. A 42-inch Runco plasma can lift and swivel out of the bed\u2019s foot-board when the homeowners want to watch, but stays concealed otherwise.<\/p>\n

Dual Screens Tucked Away<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/a>
\nAt first glance, it\u2019s a cozy family room and there doesn\u2019t appear to be TV. Then presto, there are actually two viewing options\u2014a 110-inch drop-down screen, or a 50-inch plasma in the corner cabinet.<\/p>\n

Hidden Music Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/a>
\n<\/strong>This 120-inch-wide CinemaScope Screen Research display accepts a picture from a JVC D-ILA RS2 projector. The screen and center channel speaker rise to show a fully-equipped band area for live music shows.<\/p>\n

Over the Fireplace<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/a>
\nRather than have their fireplace take a backseat to a 65-inch Runco plasma, the homeowners reveal the TV only when it is powered on. The rest of the time it hides behind a retractable panel that looks seamless within the rest of the fireplace\u2019s facade. In-ceiling SpeakerCraft speakers also stay unobtrusive except when called upon to drop down and tilt toward the listening area for background music and movie surround sound.
\nOn Track<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"C.I.S.<\/a>
\n<\/strong>On command from an AMX touchpanel, a motorized Trak-kit track in the ceiling slides a 50-inch Runco plasma display from a pocket in the wall into view. The TV can be electronically rotated to face different viewing areas.<\/p>\n

Rolling Down From Ceiling<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/a>
\nWhen it\u2019s movie time or the kickoff of a big game, this 110-inch Da-Lite screen concealed in the ceiling slats rolls down at the press of a button on the Crestron touchpanel remote, and all is well.<\/p>\n

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"CIS<\/a>
\n<\/strong>The bedroom\u2019s Samsung display is mounted behind a two-way mirror, so the TV can only be seen when it\u2019s on.<\/p>\n
