Thanks: Gave 0, Got 1 | Finally got our Hitachi on the wall, see what you think
We bought the PD7200 last year and am still very very pleased with it. We'd always planned to mount it on the chimney breast however, running the wires up the chimney.
We took out the fire place as it was never used and have modded the hole to fit the AV equipment in.
After finally getting it done, I hope other plasma wall mounters may be able to get some ideas from how we managed ours. See what you think  (Big thanks to my girlfriends dad who designed and built everything!)
Shows the false bottom which contains the power supplies.

Kind regards,
Matt

How do I post the images themselves and no the URLs?

| I'm not sure, but you're better linking anyway, IMO, as it saves bandwidth

Nice job buddy. But ensure that you clean the rear of the TV once a month to avoid accumulation of dust.
