Living room refurbishment with 85 inch televison. If you look at the attached photo there is a downpipe on the left hand side of the wall where the tv will go. A new stud wall will be built level with the front of this so the depth behind the televsion will be 20cm. The intention is for the television to be "in wall" - on a bracket and level with the plasterboard. Given the space behind the whole wall (the tv is 7cm deep) I am not too worried about ventilation and we can assure this in other ways as well.
My question is what space around the tv between it and the plasterboard edges would you recommend? In other words if the television is 1915 by 1125 what dimensions would you specify for the whole recess? I have had recommendations around 6cm each side. I am not too worried about upgrading in the future as the wall will easily be reconfigured for different sizes.
