We have a 3400RL built in May 2007, and sold as an new '08 (go figure). DW says she cannot see the TV from the kitchen. We can definitely see it from the dinning area, and all other parts of the LR. It is a flat screen and does not swivel. Pulling it out requires pulling out the VCR storage and pulling up on the retaining clip. Adding a pullout with swivel would not be a step for a stepper that is handy with tools.
Edited: p.s., prefer not to have it seen from kitchen. Saves the food from being burned!
Actually DW is a gourmet cook and watches the food channel faithfully!
