Flat screen between speakers, again.


I know this has been discussed before, but after reading most of the somewhat recent responses to similar questions I still need to pick your collective brains.
To mitigate the TV's impact, I am considering building a panel that would cover the TV when it's not in use. The panel would be a 2.5' x 4.5' diffuser or absorber. Ideally it will hang above the TV when I am watching TV and would lower down to block the TV when I am listening to music.

My question is whether this is a viable solution and, if it is, would I be better served with diffusion or absorption?

Take a dowel rod, or even a 2X2 board about the width of the TV. Drape a comforter or thick blanket over the dowel. Drop the dowel over the top edge of the TV so the comforter covers the TV. If you like the results, tidy it up and make it a permanent device to use when listening, or just know that a more permanent solution would be worth your efforts.
