In Wall TV Mounting ???'s

[Blu-Benny]

Does anyone have any suggestion or experience w/this?? Lady here @ work went nuts on her kids for xmas and got them a 46" tv and said they mounted it into the wall.

I know ventallation sould a HUGE concern but this idea really got my mind racing here @ work. My basement is bare bones right now so it wouldn't be an issue to make this a reality.

How awesome would that look. A tv mounted flush w/the wall??

Anyway, any help/insights/ideas would be great.

Id say that she's mixed up the term "on" with "in"...guaranteed.

i double checked, it was in. but i'm sure they didn't take into account how warm an lcd can get and didn't vent it at all.

You saw it in the wall, or she just repeated that? That's crazy, I know it'd look good but like you said, HEAT.

she said in the wall. made her husband do it last night. i'm curious if you take the appropriate cautions, if it's possible??

Peerless In-Wall mounts

These are some in-wall mounts that are available. What they do is allow the television to be even more flush with a wall than a standard wall mount.

I would think as long as it was an interior/non load bearing wall (without insulation) it would be possible. just have it vent into the wall and if you wanted to be fancy you could put vents at the top of the wall to let the heat out, although that would probably be overkill.

It would have to be a pretty thick wall though, otherwise it would stick out the back to fit flush in the front.

if i were to do this, it would be in a wall built against the foundation of the house. so the wall would have to be far enough away from the foundation wall to work.

so, do u think if there was no insulation behind the tv, top to bottom, and then a vent to let the heat out it would work??

Bear in mind I'm not a professional installer or anything, but just in principal as long as the heat can go somewhere (up the wall and out with a vent) it should be okay.

you could make air passage above the tv and just have a regular ac vent above it so the heat can go out that way

that's what i was thinking.

i'll talk to my uncle, he was an installer for a place up here. maybe he knows for sure.
