who's the fairest of them all?

I hate having to put a TV above the fireplace, but the way most rooms  are layed out it usually makes the most sense. When you put something above a fireplace it becomes the focal point of the room. 

I have seen the version of the TV turning into a mirror when not in use, but I have never seen it actually work right. Either the mirror looks ridiculous or the picture is so bad on the TV,  that it's not worth watching. I like the idea above because you can choose your own mirror without losing the picture quality of your favorite TV. Do you have any other ideas to this flat screen age decorating dilemma? I would love to hear them...
