My 25 inch rca tube tv just died. So I had to put in a replacement. Since the same tv is discontinued (surprised??) I had to come up with an alternative. I looked at several lcd that would "fit" within the plastic molded frame, but none was really a good fit. 26" lcd was the only approp size. I ended up getting a philips 24" flat tube tv...had to cut the base of the new tv to match the curved plastic frame, and had to notch out 2 corners in the plastic frame for the flat (vs curved) tv. Not too bad...but I really wanted to put in a lcd unit. When I have some time/ambition, I will do a new lcd install. I will need to cut the metal frame work to eliminate the front "curve", then I will build new fronts out of wood. So far, I have not found a bracket that will securely hold a lcd. Most of the ones I see has one bracket (attached to lcd) hook onto the wall bracket. There is a lock, but the unit can still slide left/right. That is ok for a house, but not a rv...How have you guys done it? Bolt the lcd directly to some kind of backer board?
