Hi, interested to know if people want to have their TV / TV's on show all the time, or if they want to neatly conceal it when not watching.

Thanks

It hangs on the wall. When it's not in use, it's off.

Er, that's it.

I have my TV on a TV stand. When it's not on, I see a faint reflection of myself.

As I don't own a television cosy, I can't conceal the screen.

On a slight tangent, I have used a system where a motorised projector screen, as well as the room lights, DVD player, and a PC were all controlled by a touch-screen panel.

What I found more appealing than the concealed screen was the ability to change the noise the touch screen made to a quacking duck.

Sounds like a great idea! Do I put Max Factor or Rimmel on the screen?

But really, it just hangs on the wall. I don't cover it with a blanket or a TV cozy when it's off Rolling Eyes

Bilky?! You don't own a television cosy? How are you a member here? I thought that was in the terms? I've been using my nans old knitted one, it was knitted for 4:3 but the wool allows it to stretch over my newer 16:9 set now.

Here are instructions on how to make your own: http://www.marthastewart.com/267538/tv-cozy-how-to

I'm clearly such a noob, never even heard of a TV cozy, I really really dont get it. What was the reason Nick you wanted to hide it? In case an inspector comes round? Very Happy
