I looked at all those fancy cabinets for my new LCD. I finally decided on a custom built, wall to wall unit, 146 inches long with an offset center section in both width and height, that will accomodate a 52in LCD, and have on both sides plently of cabinet and shelve space for display and storage. This unit will have custom crown trim, glass shelves with custom lighting shining throughout and smoke glass center doors. For example, my wife wanted display space to show her Christmas Village and now we think this will work.
I found a carpenter who priced this out slightly more than a 100 inch standard entertainment center without all the bells and whisltes....and he was 1/3 the price of most custom carpenders/cabinet makers I received bids from.
You are buying a TV and a furniture cabinet to display it. I would stay away from the "gimicks" of pop up TV shelves!
