Upgraded another TV
I really like the newer LED TVs because they are so thin you can mount them on the face of the cabinet instead of inside letting you find a much larger TV that will fit. There is also only 1/2" of unused screen making for a larger picture in a smaller size than just a couple years ago. I was able to go from a 36" to a 50" that uses half the power of the 36" LCD. It is also half the weight of the 36".
BEFORE
I like the TVs with two feet near the edges and all that's hold this one in is four 6-8" lengths of plumber's strap. Two where the feet bolt on the bottom and two in the upper holes on the back for wall mounting. There was a big enough access hole on the back to be able to screw the plumber's straps down while the DW held it in place. I did have to cut some of the bottom corners of the cabinet to let the bottom of the TV slide further in.
