An Easel For Your Flat Screen?

Oh yes! There are some who consider the TV (big, elephant in the room) a decorating nightmare. Trust me, every chance I get, I am closing up the media cabinet doors. However, even I like this really cool idea from Restoration Hardware. An Artist easel for your flat screen TV.
The price is $995...a bit pricey for something that will ONLY hold the TV, no storage.

Let's just say we find another place for the DVD and doodads. I found this one on Ebay for $399 and your choice of several finishes.

Of course, for less than $200 you could buy this easel and figure it out for yourself. It would look especially nice in a corner room configuration (Lauren), much less bulky than trying to fit a corner cabinet into the space. I think this would be a stylish and practical solution. I like these alternatives that can make it inexpensive, as well. What do you think?
