Normally we advise to eliminate distracting elements behind and around the screen of any home entertainment/theater setup. But the truth is most people aren't setting up their screens to be the center attention of a room, so a preference for the opposite may be true. Here's a super-size way to diminish the presence of a wall mounted HDTV: wall size murals.
Another option is to situate a wall graphic on the wall behind your home entertainment room's primary seating; the large presence is just as effective at diminishing the presence of nearly any HDTV.
A pair of resources for browsing wall mural options are:
Surface View offers a huge collection of wall mural imagery, ranging from kitschy, to photography, to sophisticated art artifacts. We've always loved the Lady of the Orient and could imagine it working in a home office environment also.
Murals Your Way's catalog include a solid selection of nature-themed wall murals, categorized by Forest, Garden, Trees, Natural Landscape, Water, further organized by seasonal scenes. Science and sci-fi lovers could decorate a home entertainment wall or home office with one of 156 space/astronomy themed murals. Carl Sagan would approve.
Or how about a 7ft - 52″ x 78″ Circuit Board print?

yeah those massive almost garish murals hide the tv. ok the star one isnt bad but it could use a bigger tv..
I think this is one place where the treatment is worse than the disease.
What's the media console in the first picture?
Love these! Gorgeous! I kind of want to do something like this in my house, although need to cough up the money to wall-mount the TV first, that's the hard part!
I've never understood the desire to pretend their isn't a TV in the living room. And I hate every single one of these murals, but even if I didn't, the TV sitting right in the middle of them just makes both the television and the mural look like they're in the wrong places.
