It looks like news is spreading about the flat panel TV frames at HD Envy. Mark Albright, a staff writer for the St. Petersburg Times, reports on the duo behind HD Envy’s premium products, their vision for the company, and the TV frames themselves in a piece released last week. The article pinpoints what makes each frame from HD Envy both affordable and stylish: the patient, determined work of founders Howard Hochhalter and Sean Thorp. After teaming up, the pair was able to create a unique engineering process that brought the cost of the frames down to an affordable level for any family, professional or home theater enthusiast looking to add some sophisticated style to their home.

HD Envy is starting to move quickly, establishing a presence in several Best Buy stores local to the Sarasota-based company, flexing their social networking muscle in order to beef up their online presence, and expanding their custom frame options to include the University of South Florida logos for future frames. They currently have nine employees working to create and sell quality frames, as demand has rocketed from about one frame per month to one frame per day.

Best Buy of St. Petersburg, FL has just launched an innovative flat screen frame product line in an effort to boost holiday sales and profitability in its television department, specifically targeting its Magnolia flat screen customers, with flat screen TV frames from HD Envy.

Best Buy Customer Experience Manager, Genevieve Holmes, says that the flat screen frame works with wall-mounted flat panel televisions and “is gorgeous, I love it, I want one!” Select Best Buy locations are selling the flat screen frames for $799 with the option for a $100 install.

The concept behind the development of the flat screen TV frames is quite simple. Most flat screen televisions produced today try to minimize the impact of the frame by having flat screen TV frames of either black or grey to allow for a more general integration into the typical home decor. HD Envy has created a beautiful product line of standard flat screen TV frames that fit just about anyone’s decor and even offers very affordable custom solutions for that, “just the right look.”

The majority of televisions sold today are flat screens. Ian Naster, who heads up the Best Buy partnership at HD Envy, believes that “your flat screen investment deserves more than tangled wires and a boring facade. Revolutionary flat screen frames and mounting systems are affordable, stylish, and effortless to install.”

The flat screen frames can be found at select Best Buy locations in the St. Petersburg market including: Best Buy Tyrone Square, St Petersburg, FL; Best Buy, Clearwater, FL; and Best Buy Citrus Plaza, Tampa, FL. Future Best Buy locations where the flat screen frames will be found, beginning of 2009, will include Best Buy South Tampa, FL.

Americans are projected to spend over $16 billion on Christmas decorations this year, but what about the rest of the year? By January 15th, nearly 100% of those festive items are going to be boxed back up, not to be seen again until November.

One of the gifts that Santa may be planning on giving this year is a flat-screen television; in fact, it’s one of the top gifts ideas this year.

This presents a huge opportunity to brighten your home’s decor over the next year and for years to come. Most flat-screen televisions produced today try to minimize the impact of the frame by having flat panel TV frames of either black or grey to allow for a more general integration into the typical home decor. HD Envy has created a beautiful product line of standard flat panel TV frames that fit just about anyone’s decor and even offers very affordable custom solutions for that, “just the right look.”

Sean Thorp, Co-Founder of HD Envy, says that their “flat-screen frames are the finishing touch to any entertainment room. The television look is no longer determined by the manufacturer. Our product offers many more choices and is more tasteful than those currently available anywhere. HD Envy delivers customization options to all televisions; no more tangled wires and a boring facade. Even for those who do spend less on a cheaper LCD flat-panel screen, HD Envy provides a way to cover up a generic branding and make it look like a million bucks. Our revolutionary flat-panel TV frames and mounting systems are affordable, stylish, and effortless to install.”

Currently you can buy the flat panel TV frame products at select Best Buy locations in the Tampa, St. Petersburg market in Florida. Best Buy inked the deal with HD Envy for the innovative flat-screen frame product line in an effort to boost holiday sales and profitability in it’s television department.
