Flat screen between speakers, again.

I know this has been discussed before, but after reading most of the somewhat recent responses to similar questions I still need to pick your collective brains.
To mitigate the TV's impact, I am considering building a panel that would cover the TV when it's not in use. The panel would be a 2.5' x 4.5' diffuser or absorber. Ideally it will hang above the TV when I am watching TV and would lower down to block the TV when I am listening to music.

My question is whether this is a viable solution and, if it is, would I be better served with diffusion or absorption?

Sure, but heavy curtains work fine too. While shopping, put your ear up to them, and you’ll hear the better one’s.

Also, push the panel as far back as you can. If there’s any room behind it, like say 6" or more, you would not be wrong to treat that space with a thick panel.

Also, consider the floor between behind the speakers. I find high frequency hash lives there for some reason. If you want to experiment by throwing some blankets or pillows over the TV, and on the floor you’ll gain first hand knowledge inexpensively about your potential benefits and rewards.
