Three months ago I finally got my first HDTV. I used to have a 32" TV in an entertainment center:
I removed the TV stand and doors to fit a 42" widescreen RPTV:
Last week, I built a frame using 1x2 wood and had it covered with AcousTex fabric (made for speaker grills). There are various colors to pick from and I chose Mahogany to match the entertainment center:
The fabric actually matches even better than the picture shows. I'm building a second frame with left over fabric to cover the rest of the silver border and allow me to attach mattes for 2:35:1 or 1:33:1 DVDs.
An ISF Tech (Greg Loewen, official calibrationist for the Home Theater Forum) is visting me next week to complete the transformation.
