change out old tv in back bedroom with new flat screen

I gave some thought to making a door with hinges as suggested, but as the TV was wider than the opening, hinging it would have created other problems. It could have been done with a hinged panel the width of the TV, but it would have stuck out a bit more, and besides, I was lazy that day Si I just took the simple and stupid way. It is a very solid mounting, and it is not moved for travel. If I do want to store anything behind,(which I do), it is simple to loosen two locking screws and lift it off.
