Somewhat tangential and not workable in all situations, but the best "TV" I've found is a projector bolted to the ceiling. It's out of the way. There's no "black mirror" taking up space or pulling on your gaze. Project against a white wall and it's like having a magic wall that turns into a cinema on demand. The fact that it doesn't work well in daylight is a forcing function to keep from watching TV / movies during the day. I have an Apple TV plugged into it, wedged into the ceiling mount, bluetooth audio to the stereo, no wires anywhere. I love it.
