One set pulled in from the outside (Which was on the left) and one pulled air from the inside and blew it out (On the right side).

I also attached some of the mesh filters you can find on PC modding sites so it acts sort of like an air filtration unit for the room, on top of keeping the TVs internals clean.

So he's basically the same thing, but executing it with older technology. I actually did the same thing myself with a TV that had a busted backlight and other problems. For a couple weeks I had it mounted in my window, using the daylight from outside as the backlight, and while the TV was off it was fairly see-through even! You could still make out the trees during very bright scenes though so I reassembled the TV and LCD panel and replaced the backlight.
@@anonyrusyep! sure did lol. I got bored of that and later propped it up and used a desk lamp behind it for a bit (which actually made foe a really nice ambiance in the room), then I stopped being lazy, replaced the original dead lcd backlight strips and reassembled the tv so it looked like normal
I must say... i understand that you were on a small budget but this really looks cheap to me. I do respect what you’re doing. And the fact that you could do it is amazing.
Well, it's not as pretty as his other projects, but he did achieve the goal. His next project should be, make a thin wallpaper tv that also looks good.
my problem is less the color than the boxes that stick to the wall to house the connectors and boards. Id definetly add some cover to the speakers and do something else as a frame, seems good for a budget though
that & you could add a proper window frame instead of the kitchen tape for a more "window-y" effect (LinusTechTips did it with an actual Wallpaper TV, the principle is more or less the same but his was better looking)
Yea it's definitely not just the wallpaper colour. The speakers not being covered is pretty ugly and the fact that he even used stick tv speakers in a project like this is beyond me.. plus you can see the lumpy Ness of the tape on the TV's border.. Also those infrared sensors are going to be pretty impaired by being in a hole like that, should've extended them and made them flush
This is perfect! Really goes well with a minimalist design style! Also im blown away by how you can just take apart electronics and make them fit your vision! Brilliant!
Excellent idea; I also dislike my protruding telly, and will definitely study on my options for a similar solution. That said, you really need to add venting holes at the top and bottom of the fake wall, as that screen will seriously heat up in an enclosed space. Also, mounting those boards onto fibreboard -- especially the powerboard -- is asking for a house fire; mounting them with standoffs to at least a metal plate (either connected to system common, or maybe earthed) will probably be your safest bet. Finally, you should have checked where the transformer board for the backlight is (generally found as tiny-but-dense transformers along the edge of the screen panel), as those things put out 400VAC to the cathode lights; if they're up against the fibreboard, then the firehazard is much greater.
My dad did something similar with a CRT TV from the 80s. He cut a hole in the wall, on the other side of which happened to be a kitchen pantry, and he put the TV on the top shelf, then framed it with stained baseboard molding. Turned a 2-foot deep 70lb monster into a 'flatscreen', albeit at the expense of some kitchen storage 😄
Flat screens generate a great deal of heat. That's why the manufacturer designs cooling vents in the back panel. How do you allow for the venting of heat from the panel and boards?
The explanation at the end was extremely interesting. I did research and found out that some Samsung LED TVs have a similar feature built in, namely "Motion LED". In fact, a TV that i own has this feature and i have always wondered what it does, since the screen becomes noticeably dimmer once activated. This seems to be what the TV is doing with the backlight.
if he was placing the fireplace mantle back in you could build the speakers in to that and paint the grills to match so you wouldnt even see the speakers
I would have trashed the speakers and hooked that TV up to a proper sound system (sound bars are crap, go 5.1 or go home). I also don't understand why he'd use a DVD Player that connects via SCART, so watching a DVD with this setup you have shitty sound and shitty image quality as well...
Came here wasn't expecting much. Watched for 3 min and know for sure I won't be doing anything like this. But the last 4 min on backlight is eye opening. Glad I stayed.

I see the criticisms, and while I think Matt ran into a number of issues with regards to the budget, it's also a difficult project to plan ahead for, and I believe the finished item shows some of that in the result. Biggest challenge is the MDF; some have mentioned the color choice of the room, but the thing that really hurts it in this type of construction is its naturally "furry" grain. This can be defeated with sanding, sealant, and primer, letting the eventual paint coat present it's real texture to match its appearance on sheetrock, making the presentation indistinguishable. It's a lot of work and an added expense that may not have fit the constraints. Conversely, for someone interested in attempting this themselves, it does present the opportunity to construct an integrated bezel from thin ply to eliminate the metal edge, rather than the surface taping; because plywood can be sanded, sealed, and primered the same as MDF, the finish is transparent at the end. I'm not sure I'd expect a wallpaper television to present speakers itself; subscribing to that level of clean, a bluetooth transmitted set of speakers seems a much better option. Similarly, using a Chromecast/Fire Stick or similar casting device seems a much better option than the DVD player, since it lowers the challenge of fitment. And an extension of the IR receivers to the ceiling seems a cleaner option all around, since they could be worked into trims at the top of the wall- possibly under opaque white plastic to help stealth them into the others used in the room. Ultimately, I don't think this is a sub-par project- I think it's a project that simply has more options and room for growth depending on what someone wants from it. As a proof of concept it's solid, and I can think of a couple environments the recycled technique would work in just fine.
Blox117 Well, I guess you could, depending on your resources and willingness to work around the limitations of mounting to acrylic- requiring tooling for tap and dye work, or the desire to expoy the hell out of a framework to mount the electronics to; and that's not getting into mounting to the original wall itself. Similarly, you're dealing with cost. 1/2" 4'x8' MDF, at least here in the US, runs around $25, or about 90 cents per square foot. Meanwhile, a sheet of 1/4" 4'x8' acrylic will set you back $115- or about $3.50 a square foot. MDF is workable, especially for a light DIYer. Acrylic requires a different set of skills, and comes with a much smaller amount of leeway for its properties. And ultimately, that's the most important thing- if I am doing something edge lit, or a really high profile installation- like a pseudo-Surface table, not only would I look at acrylic- I'd use the additional options available to make it most clean. An LCD screen for a large scale table top game using UV acrylic resin adhesive to give it an almost smartphone-like appearance with perfect optical clarity would be amazing. But it would specifically use what acrylic is good for, rather than adding expense and difficulty to a project like this.
limitations? you just cut and drill through it. you also do not need it to be so thick, its not a load bearer. plus the surface will be smooth unlike with wood
On a wall as small as that one I would have went corner to corner, and the access panels flush with the wall, same with the ir receivers. Speakers would be upgraded with a small setup, maybe a sound bar with wireless sub. Leaving the black screen and black mesh on the speakers, but installing molding from a window or like, would knock it up to the next level. For a first time, excellent job keep it coming. Subbed
love your work but i dont think this one is up to the mark of your prevoius projects. no where near as much attention to detail in the build we are used to seeing from you. id also be very concerned with heat buildup from the lcd and other electronics.
I am concerned as well ... on top I imagine your insurance wont be to amused when your building burned down ... Love it but it´s to risky in my point of view
Yeah, I agree. Alot of his other projects look they could be real products that you could buy in a shop, but this looks like it was obviously homemade. It kind of annoys me that he left that little gap around the speakers unpainted. It's not bad, but he's set up such a high standard with his previous videos.
Great job. I just imagine how easier the entire endeavour is gonna be with recent OLED TVs, which have no backlighting at all and are much thinner, and do produce true blacks. Also, OLED TVs have very little heat production and longer MTBF than LCD TVs, where the bscklight power supply is the first section to fail. Thanks for the great video.

I am dumbfounded on the light adjustment! This is a game changer to me! I can't believe most are bitching about the speakers and finish (you can all do it your way) when they are missing two incredible things....A flush wall mount, and an amazing way to see fluid motion in your viewing!
I think he just did a little bit of both, actually. The end result seems to have justified the means though. Other than the speaker holes needing some kind of covers, it turned out very nice looking IMHO!
@@MShrader211 from a distance but i bet in person it looks terrible. why not just build the tv into the wall and buy a cheaper samsung tv eith a one connect box 😂😂😂 building itninto a wall after making it thin kinda back to front imo
@@Simlife101 Well since neither of us will be seeing it in person, I guess it's all a matter of speculation then. LOL! Different strokes for different folks and all that. Please feel free to do your own video demonstrating your favorite technique for integrating a TV into the wall...
That's at least not my problem.🤔 My issue is I lack the tools, some of the materials, and the finances to amend the situation. I'm one of those weird people that pretty much can do anything as long as I know what's involved & have the materials & equipment. I certainly won't produce something exactly as originally planned, but it will have the same results, & occasionally additional details that actually work out pretty well, but are entirely removable. Basically, I create an optional addition that has features I want, but can be removed without any effort...this happens in anything I do... it's weird how I can create an integrated, yet optional component to things I make. The biggest issue is maintaining motivation to complete the project though.
Great job. I love how you took the boards out from the tv and placed them elsewhere. HOWEVER, I Think at the end of the day you could of kept a manufacturers warranty on a much better television by building a wall around the television as all you ended up with here was building a wall around a television. Only way this works better is if the tv has straight out inputs but TV's don't these days so you could achieve exactly same thing by building the front fibre wall around the tv but do it to newer tv without taking it apart. You do solve a problem of the tv leani g forward but if you're going to build a wall around it to solve your problem you may as well just build a wall around the entire tv and have every single Input plugged in with the correct lead into the tv and have a compartment that the other end can be left hanging elsewhere for when you need them by adding an extension to them without ever needing to get to back of tv again.
Yep. if it was just a plasterboard drywall I would have recessed it to fit TV, hide air vents somewhere too, even have access panel to get into the back of the tv from the otherside, job done.
Yup and if you want to keep the wall back you can cut a niche into the existing wall. Just be careful of cables and pipes. Still easier than ripping a TV apart.
if u got the code to open factory settings menu of sony bravia, then u don't need this separate pwm backlight module, because backlight brightness can be directly controlled by the tv motherboard by this hidden factory setting features.
Nicely done. I put my tv behind a mirror, so its just a mirror until you turn it on. Doesn't work great in a bright room, needs it darker to work well, but it does work, really changes the living room completely not having a TV visible. The TV itself was embedded in the wall. Also, have you heard about projector TVs? lol, they are thin as nothing on the wall... lol
The damn thing has high risks of catching fire. Electricity , wood and flammable paint are not great together. And if a water pipe breaks say goodbye to the whole setup. Not a good idea
@@doge3392 It's not in the actual wall, it's in a fake wall on the outside. If a pipe breaks it's still behind the real wall and not the fake one. No different then if you had a tv mounted on your actual wall like most people do. This set up makes no difference if a water pipe breaks. Besides the water pipe comment the fire hazard is definitely an issue.
That's the first thing I thought of too. No ventilation and encased in fibreboard? Granted, LCD sets don't give off as much heat as a plasma, but I'd still be wary
I think a modern 45" tv would have been the way to go. This guy definately did make some improvements though, that other tv was ready to kick some ass.

@@odoggow8157 Since he presented it as the finished product -- yes I do. And even if he painting the edges of the speaker holes he still has the holes, and the two really weird boxes lower down that stick out way more than a TV on a standard mount does. BTW, I don't believe he kept this installed. He removed this once he was done filming (which is why he didn't care about it overheating). If he wanted to do this right he should have started by furring out the whole wall with 2x4s which would have given him enough space to mount the TV and components so that they have some air flow.
I think it's great engenuety and innovating. Congratulations for your abilities. How ever, giving the results can be acquired in this case by 2 other options: #1, purchase the latest technology which already meets this requirement. #2, cut the sheet-rock wall material; expose the wall structure, accommodate simple additional supports, sink in your equipment into the wall, replace sheetrock accommodating the display,make sure to allow some discrete ventilation, and mission accomplished.😁👍

If you want to build your TV into the wall, deconstruct the TV components and you can mount it into a panel that's only about thrice the overall volume of the original TV.
I would be careful when mounting the boards of the tv in different locations, theyre usually grounded by being screwed directly into the metal frame. Not sure how unsafe it is like you did it but for anyone else making this take caution.
It seems like it would be a lot easier to cut a hole in the drywall, frame a support box inside, mount the TV in the wall, and re-apply drywall and paint. You could even add some cooling fans/vents inside the wall. Or...just buy a flush-mount TV.
Depending on how the wall is, i would've just left the TV on the bracket and built a drywall from side to side with cut outs. I'm also a electrician so the electrical side of moving it out of the original wall wouldn't bother me.
I liked the video and great tutorial, but the wall with uneven panels and cut out holes for speakers looked terrible.. plus the black tape as a frame looks so cheap... Perhaps an upgrade video is due.. think of it as PART 2. 👍
@diy perks. Hey, love the idea. Heck, I love most all your ideas. Could you please let people know that the voltages on those boards can be very dangerous when switched on. Also, heat is a huge killer of modern TV's, so some thought about heat dissapation is needed. Maybe a small fan could be placed in the false wall with the boards. Thanks again for the content.
Manic Mender agreed about removing heat from the circuit boards and the display. The TV originally used passive cooling so it wouldn’t be to difficult to add it to this design. Adding an air gap and some hidden inlet and outlet points should be sufficient. A warning about mains voltages should added to video. Still a good project though, just not quite complete.
Hmm. Comments are quite mixed here. Okay, i will follow suit. Construction using Fiberboard: Meh. Maybe it was the paint but, it looks cheap as well as that "Kitchen tape whatever stuff". The idea and shear willpower to come up with this: Genius. Surprised you were surprised about the image quality of a Sony Bravia. Speaker sponging to enrich the sound: Also Genius. + One weird question.... Where did the fireplace and mantle go from your opening intro? Lol.
With all the framing this required anyway, why not just build something to hold the corners of the TV up against the existing wall (eliminating the protruding bracket), then put framing around the whole thing to make your fake wall. You could still add speakers on the sides and move the physical button panel, but you wouldn't have to do all this deconstruction and precise framing work, and you'd have more flexibility in handling heat dissipation (hidden vents on the top, for example).
I very much enjoy "off the wall" ideas and projects - and I have done this project with a few minor changes. Not looking to save space, I used standoff pillars to allow airflow between the tv and wall, and rather than covering the circuitry with fiber board I used plexiglass to allow people to see "whats inside"
Pretty sure for the price paid for this fire hazard you could have just bought a quality projector and screen. Achieves the same end result without all the trapped heat inside that wall.
I usually like some of his stuff, but this one was a dud because of the unfinished paint and not really a big fan of the two distracting boxes sticking out.
Damn. I want him to recreate this project nowadays. His build quality and technical know-how has skyrocketed since. He'll probably end up making a TV that's invisible altogether when switched off

Finally, you should have checked where the transformer board for the backlight is (generally found as tiny-but-dense transformers along the edge of the screen panel), as those things put out 400VAC to the cathode lights; if they're up against the fibreboard, then the firehazard is much greater.
I really want him to see this because I don't want him to burn his house down with this.
hahah, I agree with you
Good Idea
This was my VERY first thought. It will not be long before all of this catches fire. It looks good but I would not want this in my home
I think his TV doesn't use fluorescent backlight anymore. Modern TV now use LED so no more high voltage or transformer .
My dad did something similar with a CRT TV from the 80s. He cut a hole in the wall, on the other side of which happened to be a kitchen pantry, and he put the TV on the top shelf, then framed it with stained baseboard molding. Turned a 2-foot deep 70lb monster into a 'flatscreen', albeit at the expense of some kitchen storage 😄
Lol we did the same thing, also protruding into the kitchen pantry! Canned goods had to go elsewhere.
Flat screens generate a great deal of heat. That's why the manufacturer designs cooling vents in the back panel. How do you allow for the venting of heat from the panel and boards?
The explanation at the end was extremely interesting. I did research and found out that some Samsung LED TVs have a similar feature built in, namely "Motion LED". In fact, a TV that i own has this feature and i have always wondered what it does, since the screen becomes noticeably dimmer once activated. This seems to be what the TV is doing with the backlight.
Really cool, I would make one more modification to cover the speakers with some kind of fabric grill/cover as they are somewhat unattractive.
preziam yes, i thought that too
A metal grill or replace them with external speakers
if he was placing the fireplace mantle back in you could build the speakers in to that and paint the grills to match so you wouldnt even see the speakers
Or remove completely and go with a sound bar or surround sound 🙈
I would have trashed the speakers and hooked that TV up to a proper sound system (sound bars are crap, go 5.1 or go home). I also don't understand why he'd use a DVD Player that connects via SCART, so watching a DVD with this setup you have shitty sound and shitty image quality as well...
Came here wasn't expecting much. Watched for 3 min and know for sure I won't be doing anything like this. But the last 4 min on backlight is eye opening. Glad I stayed.
4:38 should've just added moulding so it'll look like a painting
Yeah, missed opportunity right there! _(though technically he still could do it)_

One of the rarest kind of channel, that I found on TH-cam. I can't ignore even a single video from this channel. Great work 👌🏼
Really cool project. Nice to be able to put those old and relatively inexpensive tvs back to work with modern style.
Obviously not everyone can afford an expensive new TV, but is it really a great idea to embed already-obsolete pieces of tech into your walls?
James Watson true as the person probably had saved up enough money for a new tv and might get difficulty removing it as how flat it is
I see the criticisms, and while I think Matt ran into a number of issues with regards to the budget, it's also a difficult project to plan ahead for, and I believe the finished item shows some of that in the result.
Biggest challenge is the MDF; some have mentioned the color choice of the room, but the thing that really hurts it in this type of construction is its naturally "furry" grain. This can be defeated with sanding, sealant, and primer, letting the eventual paint coat present it's real texture to match its appearance on sheetrock, making the presentation indistinguishable. It's a lot of work and an added expense that may not have fit the constraints. Conversely, for someone interested in attempting this themselves, it does present the opportunity to construct an integrated bezel from thin ply to eliminate the metal edge, rather than the surface taping; because plywood can be sanded, sealed, and primered the same as MDF, the finish is transparent at the end.
I'm not sure I'd expect a wallpaper television to present speakers itself; subscribing to that level of clean, a bluetooth transmitted set of speakers seems a much better option. Similarly, using a Chromecast/Fire Stick or similar casting device seems a much better option than the DVD player, since it lowers the challenge of fitment. And an extension of the IR receivers to the ceiling seems a cleaner option all around, since they could be worked into trims at the top of the wall- possibly under opaque white plastic to help stealth them into the others used in the room.
Ultimately, I don't think this is a sub-par project- I think it's a project that simply has more options and room for growth depending on what someone wants from it. As a proof of concept it's solid, and I can think of a couple environments the recycled technique would work in just fine.
you could use acrylic plastic instead of mdf
Blox117
Well, I guess you could, depending on your resources and willingness to work around the limitations of mounting to acrylic- requiring tooling for tap and dye work, or the desire to expoy the hell out of a framework to mount the electronics to; and that's not getting into mounting to the original wall itself. Similarly, you're dealing with cost. 1/2" 4'x8' MDF, at least here in the US, runs around $25, or about 90 cents per square foot. Meanwhile, a sheet of 1/4" 4'x8' acrylic will set you back $115- or about $3.50 a square foot.
MDF is workable, especially for a light DIYer. Acrylic requires a different set of skills, and comes with a much smaller amount of leeway for its properties. And ultimately, that's the most important thing- if I am doing something edge lit, or a really high profile installation- like a pseudo-Surface table, not only would I look at acrylic- I'd use the additional options available to make it most clean. An LCD screen for a large scale table top game using UV acrylic resin adhesive to give it an almost smartphone-like appearance with perfect optical clarity would be amazing. But it would specifically use what acrylic is good for, rather than adding expense and difficulty to a project like this.
limitations? you just cut and drill through it. you also do not need it to be so thick, its not a load bearer. plus the surface will be smooth unlike with wood
On a wall as small as that one I would have went corner to corner, and the access panels flush with the wall, same with the ir receivers. Speakers would be upgraded with a small setup, maybe a sound bar with wireless sub. Leaving the black screen and black mesh on the speakers, but installing molding from a window or like, would knock it up to the next level. For a first time, excellent job keep it coming. Subbed
So clever! Love the way he stripped down the set and removed boards.... crazy smart.
I took a easier way out and got me a projector. Super flat on my wall can't even feel it. 😂

Now looking back at these older videos, you've come a really long way. You must be proud
love your work but i dont think this one is up to the mark of your prevoius projects. no where near as much attention to detail in the build we are used to seeing from you. id also be very concerned with heat buildup from the lcd and other electronics.
elninonitro
The LCD panel shouldn't produce any discernible heat but the electronics may.
I am concerned as well ... on top I imagine your insurance wont be to amused when your building burned down ...
Love it but it´s to risky in my point of view
It depends if it is an LCD or an 'LED' screen. Possibly this is a LED one but older LCD screens produce a fair amount of heat
Yeah, I agree. Alot of his other projects look they could be real products that you could buy in a shop, but this looks like it was obviously homemade. It kind of annoys me that he left that little gap around the speakers unpainted. It's not bad, but he's set up such a high standard with his previous videos.
Hahahaha... MR O.C.D
Incredible experiment with the perceived motion. Well done
Your imagination, curiosity and creativity are so inspiring, thanks for your great work!
You are so creative, excellent 👍🎮🕹🎲
Damn, why didn't I get this kind of an idea...You are really creative with vivid imagination and I would love to see more.
Great job.
I just imagine how easier the entire endeavour is gonna be with recent OLED TVs, which have no backlighting at all and are much thinner, and do produce true blacks. Also, OLED TVs have very little heat production and longer MTBF than LCD TVs, where the bscklight power supply is the first section to fail.
Thanks for the great video.

A super-discreet, less-imposing, giant blue wall with a 42-inch TV in it. Cool tho

For the cables on the back of the TV, you can purchase 45 degree adapters.

I am dumbfounded on the light adjustment! This is a game changer to me! I can't believe most are bitching about the speakers and finish (you can all do it your way) when they are missing two incredible things....A flush wall mount, and an amazing way to see fluid motion in your viewing!
Im sorry, but you didn't make the tv thinner. You made the wall thicker, my dude.
That's the point, my dude.
I think he just did a little bit of both, actually. The end result seems to have justified the means though. Other than the speaker holes needing some kind of covers, it turned out very nice looking IMHO!
@@MShrader211 from a distance but i bet in person it looks terrible. why not just build the tv into the wall and buy a cheaper samsung tv eith a one connect box 😂😂😂 building itninto a wall after making it thin kinda back to front imo
@@Simlife101 Well since neither of us will be seeing it in person, I guess it's all a matter of speculation then. LOL! Different strokes for different folks and all that. Please feel free to do your own video demonstrating your favorite technique for integrating a TV into the wall...
He made the tv thinner by removing the case.😑
This makes me want to take on projects that I by no means have the skills to take on.
husband comes home, why is the tv in 100 pieces? 🤷♀️ blame it on the dog.
With my dogs, it would be a believable excuse lol
That's at least not my problem.🤔
My issue is I lack the tools, some of the materials, and the finances to amend the situation.
I'm one of those weird people that pretty much can do anything as long as I know what's involved & have the materials & equipment.
I certainly won't produce something exactly as originally planned, but it will have the same results, & occasionally additional details that actually work out pretty well, but are entirely removable.
Basically, I create an optional addition that has features I want, but can be removed without any effort...this happens in anything I do... it's weird how I can create an integrated, yet optional component to things I make.
The biggest issue is maintaining motivation to complete the project though.
Not only is it great instructions, it is also educational!
Great job. I love how you took the boards out from the tv and placed them elsewhere. HOWEVER, I Think at the end of the day you could of kept a manufacturers warranty on a much better television by building a wall around the television as all you ended up with here was building a wall around a television. Only way this works better is if the tv has straight out inputs but TV's don't these days so you could achieve exactly same thing by building the front fibre wall around the tv but do it to newer tv without taking it apart. You do solve a problem of the tv leani g forward but if you're going to build a wall around it to solve your problem you may as well just build a wall around the entire tv and have every single Input plugged in with the correct lead into the tv and have a compartment that the other end can be left hanging elsewhere for when you need them by adding an extension to them without ever needing to get to back of tv again.
wait... so with the fake wall, couldn't you have just stuck the whole TV behind it in the first place?
Yep. if it was just a plasterboard drywall I would have recessed it to fit TV, hide air vents somewhere too, even have access panel to get into the back of the tv from the otherside, job done.
Blaine Atkins thank you ! I thought I was going mad ..that’s exactly what I thought😀👌
Good question
this made the tv way thinner though
Yup and if you want to keep the wall back you can cut a niche into the existing wall. Just be careful of cables and pipes. Still easier than ripping a TV apart.
Great job,very handy work!! Fairplay boy!!😊👏👍
I'd paint the inside edges of the speakers or design grills that fit perfectly inside the holes.
I thought the PWM dimmer mod redeemed the video and was worth watching just for that. Love the channel--keep inspiring us!
if u got the code to open factory settings menu of sony bravia, then u don't need this separate pwm backlight module, because backlight brightness can be directly controlled by the tv motherboard by this hidden factory setting features.
Nicely done. I put my tv behind a mirror, so its just a mirror until you turn it on. Doesn't work great in a bright room, needs it darker to work well, but it does work, really changes the living room completely not having a TV visible. The TV itself was embedded in the wall.
Also, have you heard about projector TVs? lol, they are thin as nothing on the wall... lol
Are there any issues with overheating because of lack of airflow?
The damn thing has high risks of catching fire. Electricity , wood and flammable paint are not great together. And if a water pipe breaks say goodbye to the whole setup. Not a good idea
@@doge3392 If a water pipe breaks near your TV you're fucked either way. Water + electronics = death.
@@doge3392 That was my thought... would have loved a Big Clive colab here
@@doge3392 It's not in the actual wall, it's in a fake wall on the outside. If a pipe breaks it's still behind the real wall and not the fake one. No different then if you had a tv mounted on your actual wall like most people do. This set up makes no difference if a water pipe breaks. Besides the water pipe comment the fire hazard is definitely an issue.
Looks like there could be a heat trap?
that is concerning to me
they do i would put a fan in there somewhere
That's the first thing I thought of too. No ventilation and encased in fibreboard? Granted, LCD sets don't give off as much heat as a plasma, but I'd still be wary
a lot of knowledge after watching ur videos!
Tks a lot Matt
Just waiting for you to upload!
Dragon Dung same lol
Adding a lot more edges to the wall makes it stand out much more than before
I think a modern 45" tv would have been the way to go. This guy definately did make some improvements though, that other tv was ready to kick some ass.
U PPL ARE FUKING IDIOTS DO U REALLY THINK HE STOPPED THERE??? IF HE PUTS THIS MUCH EFFORT INTO ENTERTAINING YOU ASSES HOW MUCH EFFORT DO U THINK HE PUT INTO DECORATING ONCE HE HAD TIME AFTER EDITING THIS VIDEO!!! U MORONS CANT THINK PAST THE FIRST THOUGHT IN UR WEE HEADS
@@odoggow8157 "U MORONS CANT THINK PAST THE FIRST THOUGHT IN UR WEE HEADS
" I guess you didn't think how to use proper grammar/spelling.
@@odoggow8157 Since he presented it as the finished product -- yes I do. And even if he painting the edges of the speaker holes he still has the holes, and the two really weird boxes lower down that stick out way more than a TV on a standard mount does.
BTW, I don't believe he kept this installed. He removed this once he was done filming (which is why he didn't care about it overheating).
If he wanted to do this right he should have started by furring out the whole wall with 2x4s which would have given him enough space to mount the TV and components so that they have some air flow.
I think it's great engenuety and innovating. Congratulations for your abilities. How ever, giving the results can be acquired in this case by 2 other options: #1, purchase the latest technology which already meets this requirement. #2, cut the sheet-rock wall material; expose the wall structure, accommodate simple additional supports, sink in your equipment into the wall, replace sheetrock accommodating the display,make sure to allow some discrete ventilation, and mission accomplished.😁👍
Good project, very clearly explained.

You can get slimline VESA mounts and you can get 90° angled connectors.

If you want to build your TV into the wall, deconstruct the TV components and you can mount it into a panel that's only about thrice the overall volume of the original TV.
thrice

EXTREMLY WELL DONE!!!! PERFECT EXPLANATION STEP BY STEP DEMONSTRATION! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
Could you elaborate on the flicker dimmer install?
I would be careful when mounting the boards of the tv in different locations, theyre usually grounded by being screwed directly into the metal frame. Not sure how unsafe it is like you did it but for anyone else making this take caution.
Yep. It's an incredibly dangerous thing to advocate.
so he figure the dimmer thing out but you assume he don t know about the ground. come on
It seems like it would be a lot easier to cut a hole in the drywall, frame a support box inside, mount the TV in the wall, and re-apply drywall and paint. You could even add some cooling fans/vents inside the wall. Or...just buy a flush-mount TV.
Depending on how the wall is, i would've just left the TV on the bracket and built a drywall from side to side with cut outs.
I'm also a electrician so the electrical side of moving it out of the original wall wouldn't bother me.
I liked the video and great tutorial, but the wall with uneven panels and cut out holes for speakers looked terrible.. plus the black tape as a frame looks so cheap... Perhaps an upgrade video is due.. think of it as PART 2. 👍
The sync. dimmer function is quite clever! I'd like to see it as another feature of all new displays on earth!

@diy perks. Hey, love the idea. Heck, I love most all your ideas. Could you please let people know that the voltages on those boards can be very dangerous when switched on. Also, heat is a huge killer of modern TV's, so some thought about heat dissapation is needed. Maybe a small fan could be placed in the false wall with the boards. Thanks again for the content.
Manic Mender agreed about removing heat from the circuit boards and the display. The TV originally used passive cooling so it wouldn’t be to difficult to add it to this design. Adding an air gap and some hidden inlet and outlet points should be sufficient.
A warning about mains voltages should added to video. Still a good project though, just not quite complete.

Please post an update when the TV cooks itself due to having no airflow.
What you achieved is truly amazing. Thanks for the awesome video!
With all the framing this required anyway, why not just build something to hold the corners of the TV up against the existing wall (eliminating the protruding bracket), then put framing around the whole thing to make your fake wall. You could still add speakers on the sides and move the physical button panel, but you wouldn't have to do all this deconstruction and precise framing work, and you'd have more flexibility in handling heat dissipation (hidden vents on the top, for example).
It looks like something I've made, instead of something you've made.

What about heat?
I very much enjoy "off the wall" ideas and projects - and I have done this project with a few minor changes. Not looking to save space, I used standoff pillars to allow airflow between the tv and wall, and rather than covering the circuitry with fiber board I used plexiglass to allow people to see "whats inside"
Warranty Voided xD
An old £80 second hand television... Warranty expired.
So you have the 'ugly, protruding TV' for 5 yrs before you can make it 'discreet'??
Home insurance cover void$ too (fire caused by TV) that's my thoughts only

Pretty sure for the price paid for this fire hazard you could have just bought a quality projector and screen. Achieves the same end result without all the trapped heat inside that wall.
No, projectors aren’t remotely comparable - they are a different use case altogether
The name of this channel should be "Great Ideas, Lacking Polish and Finish"
I usually like some of his stuff, but this one was a dud because of the unfinished paint and not really a big fan of the two distracting boxes sticking out.
I'm kind of surprised they don't make any tv's like this, having the electronics below the screen really does save a lot of space.
It’s because almost all houses are different and therefore these would need to be universal which is pretty much not achievable..
