LCD upgrade |
|
Original TV |
 |
 |
 |

 |
 |
|
Power controller (so you are not tempted to watch TV
while driving!) |
Original analog TV without wooden face plate. TV is
recessed into the ceiling |
Tray assembly supporting TV & middle speaker |
Left side of mount |
Right side of mount |
One (of two) small screws that supported the TV
sheared. But the enclosure held it in place |
|
LCD Upgrade |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
New LCD & face plate |
Matches existing cabinets |
The LCD is hung from roof frames, secured from rear
and bottom, then sandwiched in by the face plate |
The assembly saves better than 70 pounds & uses less
power |
The LCD's speakers are down-firing, so the extra space
was used for the speaker grill & remote sensor |
The LCD is recessed a full five inches, making it lees
likely we'll hit our heads now on entering! |

Jimmy salvaged the original plastic and speakers,
giving the whole project a very professional look |
The inspection hole gives access to controls as well
as one of the external inputs |
The original home theater components and speaker where
retained |
Using my existing Winegard antenna, the off the air
picture (HD) speaks for itself |
The DVD picture is better as well! |

Mounting Hardware |
 |
 |

|
Just above the surround sound center speaker is a
brace that mounts to the TV's pedestal for additional support |
The surround sound center speaker is mounted to a wood
cross member for assembly ease & less weight |
Pinch bolts (one shown here) press TV against the
front face plate. Hole cut for hand access to controls |
Pinch bolts are used on all four corners (two shown
here) |
