Mounting a (decased) TV?
(1/2) > >>
chrisindfw:
After much debate over decasing or not, I've decided to decase my TV and mount it in my new cabinet I am planning to build. My question is what is the best method of mounting the tv? Do you mount it to a frame and then mount that to the cabinet? Any tips?

I appreciate any advice!

Thanks!

If at all possible, do yourself a favor and leave it in the case.

Only decase it if you absolutely can't fit it with the case on. It does make for easier mounting without it, depending on the cabinet, but handling it is much easier with the case.

What if I split the difference and leave it cased but cut some of the plastic off the front so it fits better with the bezel?

Depends on where you cut the plastic I guess. Some (most?) TV's use some portion of the plastic to support the tube, circuit board or both. Wherever you cut, you don't want to compromise the support if you're depending on said plastic to hold the tube in place.
