I like Dan's plan.

The only thing is... wouldn't it be kind of silly having a large cabinet in front of a window?



Leave the giant cabinet where it is, put the tv under the window if desired. If you wont be using the 80's for tv viewing, leave the tv in the GC (giant cabinet) and use one of the multitude of altenative seating for tv viewing. Long term, put a drop down screen over the window and a projector on top of the GC.
