CRT TV to Flat Screen Replacement Tips Needed 2008 Journey 39Z

2008 Journey 39Z

Need to replace the ~37" tv in the main entertainment center. This is the original tv bolted through the cabinet below into the tv. Quick measurements show a 43" widescreen should fit with no issue.

What I'm not certain of is how to approach securing the TV in the cabinet. How is everyone securing modern TV's in these cabinets?

The previous owner of my 07 Meridian was nice enough to put a flat screen tv into the over the dash cabinet. Once the old tv was removed they attached a plywood 1/2in panel to the sides of the cabinet. Angle iron was used as the brace for the plywood. They then attached a standard wall mount type tv hardware to the plywood.

So when I removed the old TV I found that it was mounted to a large metal stand of sorts that bolted through the bottom of the tv space. I used a garden variety fixed tv wall mount from walmart secured to that, to mount the tv.

Also changed out the original DVD, surround sound amp with an all in ind unit i had kept for just this purpose.

Still need to shroud the bottom open area below the tv.

You are right on track. I found an 43” LG OLED fit the opening perfectly. As for the space at the bottom, I installed a soundbar. Makes for a perfect entertainment system.
