Hello
Still procrastinating about the best way to set up flat screen TV and peripherals.
I was going to bury cables in conduit, but there are so many it would be a PIA.
Decided on an Ikea Besta unit, plus a sheet of MFC mounted directly above it on battens.
May also stick an LED tape round the battens.
What would be the best way to attach the MFC to the battens so that the fixings were concealed?
Onto this I will fix the TV bracket and all cables will drop down the void between the wall and the MFC.
How much wider than the TV would you make the MFC? and which way would you have the "grain" go?
I got a price for a cut piece of 1.2 x 1.8m, edged all round 18mm MFC for £80 plus the dreaded.
Does that sound reasonable or dear?
The TV is 93 x 54cm and if it were changed in the future, it would not go bigger than 108 x 63cm (a 50" Samsung).
Cheers guys!
