In the end I managed to find a local company that supplied the 457mm flush plywood doors so I'm going to fetch them tomorrow. Less faff than trying to split and rebuild these panelled doors and saves me the £50-£60 postage costs of an online seller! I hope the dog likes his new bed after this!

I can't grab a picture of them at the moment but they're standard 6 panel hollow doors, cheap and nothing special. Your typical £40 B&Q door. I think it's going to be impossible to re-use these as there's no where I can cut that doesn't go through one. Since these are specifically for the...

The image does look fine! Sorry it's probably a bit misleading, that's an AI generated image of what I wanted the final thing to look like which I created before I started - The real one is a bit of a mess and I'm not at home to picture it currently. I'm mostly there but just don't have the...

Over the weekend I built our dogs crate into the base of the utility room cupboard. Originally the cupboard had two standard, 6 panel, 457mm width doors but the problem I now have is I can't refit those as if I was to cut them to the correct height I'd be left with some funny mouldings on the...

Yes, a huge difference.

I popped a screenshot in the thread on page 1 that will show it better than anything I can describe! There's basically 0 gap between the back of the very thin TV and the wall, purposefully, so you wouldn't want to go adding one.

Correct, I was looking to embed it in a box (media box or recessed sockets) behind the TV but after checking with a couple of electricians they said there's no reason it can't be dropped down the wall and pulled out the bottom here in the UK, different matter in the US though. Saves me getting...

As mentioned in the initial post and follow up posts, this particular TV sits completely flush with the wall, you cant (or wouldn't) want a piece of plywood between it and the plasterboard wall. Might as well buy a different model of TV if you go that route!

Personally not for me, I don't trust any form of plasterboard only fitting when it comes to TV mounting. They do look sturdy though!

I did actually buy some of those brush plates but the one behind the TV still stuck out too much for the G4 so I just put the backbox in and left it faceless behind the TV, I used a brush plate on the cable exit behind the media stand though. Cables dropped down the wall without issue...

This was my original plan until I started reading on here and generally the consensus was to use the plywood board across two studs instead of noggins between the studs (and screwing into the noggins). I can do either so I'm not fussed but I guess the plywood approach is a touch easier. I'm not...

Thanks, the more I've read online the more I think it's probably fine to line up one stud and toggle bolt the rest. It's not an articulating arm and the consensus seems to be 1 stud will be plenty sufficient at a "light" 23kg. I think I'd have to be very lucky to hit 2 studs with the mount where...

The layout of our living room means the side of the TV is quite visible when walking around the room, it's not on a distant wall where you'd only look at it straight on so it's important to get fully flat.

Turns out I might be getting a bit ahead of myself, the mount looks quite small (I'm still awaiting delivery) but hopefully should be wide enough to at least hit one stud where I hope to place it. Perhaps 1 stud with the rest of the holes toggle bolted/plugged will suffice. I guess I won't know...

You don't buy an expensive flush mount TV to then have it "not quite" perfect! The instructions would say fix to the wall and push the TV back to the wall, likely saying aim for a stud if a plasterboard wall. They're not going to give instructions on bracing the wall to support the TV but I'm...
