 First we removed the old TV.  That left us with this giant opening.  The width of the cabinet allowed for a 65″ flat panel, but we needed a way to mount it.  We also needed to cover all the empty space below the TV.

Next we built a false back and painted it black.  We installed this inside the cabinet to mount the flat panel. 

Then we designed a new front panel and matched the existing cabinet’s paint to achieve this fantastic final result. Some cabinets require a lot of work, some require only a little. If you are ready to upgrade your TV, let us look at modifying your existing cabinet to acommodate it.

The old television was over 3.5 feet deep and the new flat panel we replaced it with was a whopping 1.2 inches deep. What a dramatic difference. To make everything  look seamless we made some minor modifications. Check out the before and after photos below.
