Over the last few days we replaced the 60 lb television in the bedroom with a 32" 1080p HDTV. Picked up a whole lot of storage space for DVDs and CDs. We started to use one the articulated arms for mounting the tv but realized very quickly that the arm took up way to much room. A side issue is that I really don't trust the arm to hold the weight of the tv during travel since we're fulltiming now. My DW suggested mounting it on a piece of plywood and use door hinges to hold it. We used 3/8" for the first pass at it. Completed the job last night and it looks good and works the way we expected it to. The only thing left to do is make a bracket to hold it up when we want to get a DVD out (someting similar to a hood support rod on a car) and once we get to Phoenix replace the Home Depot plywood with some marine grade oak plywood. I can use my BIL's shop and do the job right.
