Any ideas?

[xneox]

I'm seriously considering relocating the theater room to the basement, where I'll be two floors removed from, rather than directly under, my son's room. It's hard enough to get a 1.5 year old to go to sleep...keeping him that way while I'm trying to enjoy my investment is becoming a problem. Also, I've got another one coming, so now may be the time.

The only thing keeping me from doing it instead of typing this right now is the fact that I truly love the tv mounted to the wall, and I have metal studs in the basement...so I'm looking for ideas.

Here's one I'm toying with - I've got a drop ceiling down there, so I've got access to the floor joists. I could fashion a bracket system from angle iron to mount to the floor joists, on which I could mount the tv wall-mount...essentially hanging the tv from the floor joists. I would then hang a black curtain from ceiling to floor, extending a foot or so on each side of the tv, to both hide the bracket system and create a nice surround for the tv.

Any thoughts on this idea, or other ideas? The wall I want to use is an outside wall, so no access behind...and I'm not really into building another wall on top of it. A panel, maybe...but not another full-on wall.
