lcd fitted flush into wall

I have found some good ideas on here of how to fit a flat screen into a false wall. however im looking to fit mine into a stud wall. behind the wall is a small cupboard.

Im hoping to fit my skybox in this cupboard and use the magic eye gadget so only the tv is on show.

any ideas or links are most welcome

Re: lcd fitted flush into wall

Do you want the screen flush with the wall? or like mine (see my thread http://www.avforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=525989).

Depends how deep your stud wall is I guess. As for the skybox etc., should be fine.

I'd be concerned about heat build up if it was right in and tight round the screen.
My new TH42PX70. I Love it!

thats mine on the wall, by no means flush, but sits real close, and all cables hidden. I will be getting shot of stand below in the near future, but looking for something suitable to replace it isnt easy...

Re: lcd fitted flush into wall

I know someone who tried it with a samsung and it kept breaking down, I think a lot of them draw air up from the base and out the top.

The flush fits Ive seen done by interior designers are actually offered up from behind the wall so there is a recess, the thinner the wall the better in this case, which is sometimes filled with a sheet of glass so the glass is true flush with the wall.
