Question for MAMErs with large CRT televisions as their display

Pages: (1/5) > >>

Vash:

I was just curious what everyone used to hold up the television.  I have a 27" JVC that I'll be using in my cabinet, but have no idea how I'm going to pull it off.  Do you just use a slanted shelf that's screwed into the sides of the cab or an entirely separate contraption that rests inside? 

somunny:

I'm using a 5/8" mdf shelf slanted back at 5-7 degress (I forget) and it's plenty sturdy for the 29" NEC monitor I have sitting on it.  The shelf is braced with 2x4's I should add.  ;)

phishpac:

I have a large flat screen CRT television.  It's on a tilted shelf which holds most of the weight.  The shelf is supported by 2x2's, shelf supports, and the tv itself is bolted to the shelf and cabinet sides.

I'm unorthodox...



I built everything around this TV.

RoninEditor:

I'm following someone else's advice in building a 2x4 'structure' that holds the tv independently of the surrounding cab, which I will then tack to the 2x4 brace.  My tv is way to heavy to be held up by screws.  I'm also going to use an earthquake strap (or any other kind of strap will work) to bind it to the 2x4 structure, in case I need to tilt the whole cab to move it, so the tv isn't sliding around.
