I don't like the tiny bedroom tv so I mounted a 40 inch Samsung which is 1.2 inches thick on hinges that I designed and built with a gas strut. The hinge is at the top and the tv swings up to the ceiling for clearance to open the closet door and also a storage cabinet where the old tube tv went.

jleamont Report post Posted February 11, 2018 Wow 40"! I was on the fence with this as I could probably count how many times I actually use this TV location. DD you need to post a photo of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted February 25, 2018 Blake, DW comes out while I'm working and says "hmm we could charge our phones and IPad up there if electric was close by" . You bet ya!! I installed an outlet on the new shelf above the TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted February 25, 2018 LOL Typical. Now you need a 2" trim in front to keep the iPhone's in place...you also need some nice padding on shelf... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
