Hi there. Im getting ready to put my 25" samsung svideo tv in my cabinet. I totally removed it from the casing. The first question to any guys that have done this before, how should I mount it. I used Lusid's cabinet plans so what I did was cut a piece of MDF that is 26" wide by 25" tall and then cut a tv shaped hole to stick the front of the tv through. Then I was just gonna bolt the four corners of the tv using the four metal mounting tabs that are sticking out of the corners. the problems is that due to the front of the tube being not a perfect rectangle I had to hack,cut, saw, sand, and do everything else necessary to get that thing to fit. So now my holes that I drilled for mounting the TV are about 1/4" from the gaping tv hole. I'm afraid this won't support it well. I will redo the whole thing if someone can give me a better idea. My project has been going on for months and I'm getting nowhere. Thank you. -betacrash
