hey guys,
my mum has this very expensive wooden tv cabinet that currently houses a 20 year old CRT TV, but I bought hew a huge LCD tv for christmas.
the cabinet looks like this https://i.imgur.com/drLsZU5.jpg
is there anyway at all to mount the TV to the front of this cupboard without damaging the tv corner unit itself ?
that looks very possible with the tv swing arm bracket thing…. I'll look into it :)
thanks
do you know if the brackets can be screwed into the top or bottom or does it have to go in the side or rear? I might be able to get a plank of wood behind the cabinet and then screw the mount through the back and into the plank of wood if that will help strengthen it
There are plenty of monitor mounts designed to bolt or clamp to a desk surface, tho i am not sure how many would take the load as they normally adjust vertically.
Why not return the TV for a smaller one that fits in the cabinet. Does you mum want a huge TV?
good idea, I have sent DSE a message asking if it's possible to cancel the order before it's shipped out. Hopefully they reply to me in time.
no matter how much I looked at it, it either means I'm gonna drill into this cabinet and she wont be too impressed with that at all
thanks for your advice :)
Two options: ditch the cabinet, or smaller TV. I can't see a way of mounting a big TV to the front that won't make it front heavy and also require fixing it to the wall to stop it falling over.
edit: nvm (on consideration, my option is not feasible)
Without modifying it AT ALL - only by putting a big board on the shelf with a huge weight at the back to balance the TV and the board sticking out the front with the TV on it.
Much more practical - use a tv arm mounted inside the cabinet bolted on somewhere you wont see it. Or screw/clamp a couple of planks over the open tv gap and put a wall mount there.
