On the plus side we were able to remove our 52” LCD from it’s wall mount (80 pounds!) and install a 65” LCD. A bit of a trick because we only have 1” to spare on all 4 sides of the new TV. The bad news is our 6 year old A/V gear can’t handle 4K HDR. Time for a new receiver. 📺
@khurtwilliams It’s easiest to explain via this photo. When the house was built there was an inset area to the left of the fireplace. We had a simple TV stand there for the first couple of years but then decided to have a custom cabinet built to fill the space. It’s about 8 feet tall with the speakers hidden above the TV and the gear below it. Fortunately I spec’d the opening for future TV growth beyond our 52” but, 11 years ago, very nearly underestimated what we might want in the future.
@ronguest my TV’, even the “massive” flat-screen Sony Trinitronic tube we replaced a few years ago, were always “open air” on a stand. TV cabinets feel “clunky” to my minimalist leanings.
