Installed a mount for a flat screen TV. Old tube TV went to the Salvation Army on the weekend.

Curious Hank… was your TV built in the front cabinets ?
If so do you have any photos of your remodel ?
I have been debating but unsure how it will look..
Thanks

TV was mounted in cabinet in center above dash/doghouse, up at the ceiling. That was too high for comfortable viewing, you were always looking up. I wanted a mount that would come down not just side to side. Found one on Amazon but when I went back to order it was no longer available. I keep kicking myself over that. So I used a wall mount fastened to the bottom of the cabinet, turned 90* so it will come down instead of side to side. I can swivel the TV 90* lift it up and push it back into the cabinet for travel.

I don't have picture but can take one of the mount later today. TV is not attached right now, it's in the house. Think you'll get the idea though when you see the mount and how it's installed.

Guess I'll have to figure out how to post an image, haven't done that on this forum before.

First pic is mount dropped down so TV is at a better viewing level.



Second pic is how mount is installed in cabinet.



The TV will swing up and sit flat against front of cabinet. In order for the mount to hold the TV there the tension on the arms has to be really tightened up since mount is designed for side to side movement not up and down. With the tension that high you really have to pull on the TV to move it, I didn't like that idea. So I decided I would just swivel TV 90* and swing it back into the cabinet to get it out of the way or for travel. I may look at adding a strap or something to mounting plate to hold TV up when traveling or maybe I won't.
