I see that the 40 inch samsung with minimal bezel will fit but not certain how to reconstruct the frame. the reason I want 40 inch is it will require no trim above or below. 32 might be better for viewing so close. any thoughts or advice. I like the mod that cMillsap installed but I want a larger screen then will fit in the tube tv space. here is the pic Chuck took of the raw opening in his like constructed rig I dunno, Greg, I know your dilemma. It is very hard to add a large flat screen inside an LXi without it looking like an afterthought. The front upper dash really needs a total rework to get a large flat screen to fit flush and look like it belongs there. I never liked the idea of attaching one to the surface of the upper dash because it sticks out and is visually noticeable. Some others have used hinges and attached it to fold away on the ceiling in front of the mirrored ceiling A/C panel but then you have the back exposed and wires to try to hide. Obviously, many owners would disagree with me but I think a big screen overwhelms the living space in my LXi. I like big screen TVs and have three including a Samsung curved 55” UHD (amazing picture quality) in my home and one 42” in the 2nd passenger bay on my bus but I just couldn’t bring myself to installing one inside my LXi. I’ve even seen owners install large flatscreens in the LXi’s 8’ x 8’ bedroom. The 24” screen is just perfect to fit that space and looks much larger than the original TV screen. Some owners cover a salon window with a large flatscreen which can’t be seen from the kitchen rearward. As regards my installation of the 24” flatscreens, the only thing that I am dissatisfied with is the smoke Plexiglas cover on the salon TV. It’s fine after dark or during dim lights but it obscures the picture too much during the bright daylight. I plan to measure and cut out the portion of Plexiglas that covers the TV screen. Sorry, I wasn’t much help…….. Chuck & Tela Millsap 2003 Prevost Marathon XLII 2000 LXi #2 S/S (Sold) 2004 M380 D/S (Sold) 2000 LXi #1 N/S (Sold |
