High End of the Market Emerges

You've decided a simple LCD/Plasma TV Mount is insufficient for your tastes. Your decor demands mounting and framing of your TV.  Even more importantly,  only the best will do.   Well, guess what, you are in luck, sir or maam. 

Thanks to the sophisticated folks at  Eli Wilner & Company, now even the uber rich can enjoy the tv framing trend ala Wilner's "3000 style frames to fit any interior."  No, these are not off the shelf tv frames but replica or original/period frames.  Think --with what would I frame real art?

How much?  If you have to ask....    Actually, if you must know, please sit down. Ok?  Replica frames range in price from $20,000 to $50,000. A period frame could cost anywhere from $30,000 to $250,000. 

TeleCubbie

I located another TV Frame outfit with a small twist. Telecubbie is a custom cabinetry company whose created a product that's sort of like a picture frame sort of not. See pic below.  I like the before/after.   $599-$699 covering 42" --50" inch TVs.  So now that you've got your TV Mount in place and TV imounted, maybe it's time to take it to the next level with a TeleCubbie?

Sanus Optical Mirror Kits

Alot of the solutions out there have an optical mirror incorporated into the tv frame. The idea is when the tv is on, the mirror effect goes away. But when you turn off the tv, the mirror begins to function again. Here's a good picture showing the effect:
