LCD HD TV install
After much searching, I decided on the Toshiba 15DLV77. It has a digital and analog tuner built in plus a DVD player as well. It still has the old 4:3 ratio screen size but it is HD (720p). TV reception is great in both analog and Digital mode. Works with my existing RV bat-wing antenna made by Winegard. The wall mount is made by Peerless.

What you can't see here is that I added extra support for the cabinet wall on the inside. I bought piece of 3x3 hard wood and cut it just short enough to squeeze in from top to bottom on the inside left. I then drilled pilot holes for the screws. |
I secured the 3x3 with two long screws on the top and bottom side. I used brass designer cabinet screws ( you can see one of them directly below the bracket). The other is near the top. These were heavy duty screws however still looked nice to the eye. I then positioned the bracket not for the center of the hard wood but for the best position of the TV. As you can see, it's a little off center from the cabinet screw but well within the 3 inch thickness of the support. It's rock solid. |
Here is a installation hint: Make sure the bracket is level in reference to the cabinet. I used an angle level to make it easy. Since my RV is never perfectly level, I measured on the cabinet front than set the level on the bracket to be exactly 90 degrees off. If you don't do this, your TV will be crooked. |

Nice eh? |
This is picking up digital while out camping. Just as good a satellite.

The bracket allows me to position it in any direction. |
