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?

Tony - where are the speakers located relative to the position of the screen? Is the Screen mounted on a wall?
I concur with mijostyn.
When I had my speakers on either side of my screen they were ~8" in front of the screen. Experimentation demonstrated to me that there was no change in sound quality when the screen was blanketed.Your situation may be different and some reasonable suggestions for experimentation have been given.In the end - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
