It was also a handy place to put all the AV equipment that has fans and clanks around and stuff. People still have AV rooms now, but the TV usually isn’t part of the room.
Comment on Flat Screen TV's are a waste of money

That’s how it was done 30 years ago. My friend built his basement around the TV so it would be in the wall and he had a room behind it for all the cables and equipment.
My house has it too. It’s not a full room but a cut out with a door. Because originally if there was a big TV there would be no way to get behind it.
