The TV problem


People who know me know that I'm interested in the "TV problem" The simple but hard to solve problem is this—where do you put a TV? Normally you'd like to sit with your back to a wall. But in most rooms, this means that the TV has to be mounted on an opposing wall at least 10 feet away shrinking the image considerably. Bring the TV closer and you have a TV floating in the middle of your living room where you have to look at its back and see all the weird cables sticking out. Put the TV on the wall and you don't get to sit against a wall. This photo is from Ikea where they had a nice solution in one of their displays. The TV is on the opposing wall, but the opposing wall is really close to couch. It's almost like a hallway in which you walk right between the couch and the TV.
