Replacing Old TV
I have a 15 year old Everest FW with an old style TV. I'm thinking about replacing the TV and DVD player with a flat screen and Blue Ray. The TV is currently mounted in a large opening in a cabinet....

I replaced my old TV several years ago with a Samsung 32" LED TV. Don't remember the weight, but not very heavy. The new TV is quite a bit wider than the old one. But they are so thin, mounting them outside the cabinet is no problem. Easiest way is to just install a piece of plywood in the cabinet opening and get a wall mount to attach the TV to the plywood. I went a bit overboard on mine, but you can see how well the thin TVs mount outside the cabinet.

I did put a narrow shelf under it for additional support and use velcro strips (not visible in this pic) to secure it while traveling. The velcro strips are attached behind the TV and I can pull them out and stretch them across the TV.
