LCD TV, how does it affect your 2 channels

Cover it with an acoustically absorbent material when it is not being viewed.

I have the exact same situation. 60" LCD, look at my listed system. It has changed a bit since the picture , but the LCD is still in the middle.
You are right it does screw up the depth. I have done everything possible to work around it, but I know it is a problem.
However, I love watching sports while listening to music so everything will stay as is regardless.

Perhaps one day I will get a projector with a screen.

If you can make sure that you speakers are out in front of the TV screen, (and well out in front, like two or three feet), and it won't eliminate the impact, mind you, but it does minimize it.

Kal's advice is correct about using an absorbent material (a nice throw blanket kept in the room works nicely), to cover the screen.

I too have a 58" plasma TV between my speakers, (and it is going to stay there). When I replaced my old RPTB with the aforementioned 58" TB, and I increased the distance between the planes of the TV screen and the face the speakers from 1 foot to 3 feet, it really opened up the soundstage and increased the depth.

Good Luck!
