During extensive renovations of our apartment, we had an av cabinet made to my design, that houses a 90 inch 16 x 9 retractable pull up screen, that pulls up in front of our 42 inch wall mounted plasma when in use. When not in use it tucks neatly hidden under a piano hinged lid, out of sight, hence keeping the wife onside .

I thought I'd share my idea with you guys, as I think it is a pretty clever design, and something you normally cant purchase off the shelf. After seeing a floor mounted scissor lift cartridge screen, and that they are now available at more affordable cost, I merged the idea into my cabinet design, with great success.

I am running the fabulous Sanyo PLV-Z5 LCD projector, and for the time being a Panasonic SCHT-840 all in one progressively scanned DVD 5.1 system which is doing a nice job providing us room filling sound, but we plan to update that to some mid end specialist audio gear mid next year when we have the available funds.
