Mounting an LCD TV above a fireplace? Or maybe hide your LCD TV behind a hearth. England-based Picture House has a patent-pending design for LCDs to rest behind a fireplace and rise at the press of a button.

The flames in the fireplace are not real but it hides 2kW of fan forced heat which will heat a good size room in approx 10 mins. Picture House claims that the heat does not affect the TV because “cool air is drawn in at the rear of the fire then heated as it is forced out the front. This means no heat is present around the back of the fire to affect the TV.”

The units, which hold LCD TVs up to 50 inches, come in a variety of styles, ranging from about $3,700 to $9,100.
