Ours is tucked in a small alcove beside the chimney breast with shelves above it (labour of love and swearing on OH part)0

I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

My kids have both gone the same way and have built out false stud walls with massive flat screen TVs set in and appearing flush with the wall, all wiring then remains hidden.
Looks very effective if you can spare 3 or 4" of space.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

I have always thought this is a good idea and makes a nice clutter free wall, but one thing has always bothered me about it.cyclonebri1 wrote: »My kids have both gone the same way and have built out false stud walls with massive flat screen TVs set in and appearing flush with the wall, all wiring then remains hidden.

What happens when the TV breaks or is upgraded?
I wouldn't like too much gap around the TV frame, but it means that if I wanted to replace the TV I would be restricted by size, or I would have to rip out the wall and make good again. What have your kids done?0 -
I have speaker underneath it but nothing on the top. We have inset fireplace too under the speaker. You could maybe put a false fireplace. We have an expensive gas fireplace with real looking wood log in it. It looks fantastic watching tv when its on.0

I did almost the same thing but for the reasons you describe, decided not to inset the TV. I did leave a recess behind it to accommodate the wall mount and power though, so the TV can go right up to the wall.
