[Shop-talk] Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone, oh yeah, and I have a question about tv mounts

>Weighing at 440+ lbs, the TV was mounted to several significant 
structural steel mounts, and had its own dedicated 208V outlet, from which 
it drew 2hp.

Yes, I know that this one draws 1hp and its a monster.  I have other ideas 
however.

>I advocate you create something with your considerable tool collection. 
Can't you just weld up a proper mount for this

Yes, that is my plan.  However, for $18 I am getting the mount as a 
'starting place.'  I'll cut it in half and modify to work with this unit.

Then I plan to put it in my den and see how I like a 65" format.  I 
currently have a 55" that needs to have the ribbon cables reset any way. 
So I'll take that out to the garage to do that.

Then, if I decide to get a nice 65" LCD, I will replace this.  Then, this 
screen will end up in my garage.  I'll use to for watching videos or how 
to and such.

So it will only be in the house for a temporary period.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.  If any of you are ever in NJ, swing 
by and hang.  Maybe watch a video or something!  8>)
