It may sound odd, but I have an issue over which TV I can buy as it fits into a built-in cupboard.

When we first had it built, 32" was about the biggest screen TVs you could get. I want to go up in size to a 37", but the height restriction of the enclosure means that I only have around 60 cms from top to bottom to play with.

I have scoured the 'net and various stores for 37" TVs of this height, but they are all a few cms taller with their table stands attached - they would be fine without a stand but they will not be stable, or even stand up straight, without one.

I'd be grateful if anyone who has had a similar problem, or who has an LCD TV of 37" or more that would fit my height requirements could help me out here. Many thanks in advance.

Take the stand off and fit it on a bracket to the rear of the cupboard - reinforce the cupboard as required.

Well if it were me I would just get the TV and a few strips of wood. Glue a few strips infront of the TV to stop it moving forwards and then screw a couple more in behind to lock it in place.

Or do it as above but that may look odd sitting so deep in the unit.

Thanks both, but this assumes a modicum of DIY ability - sadly I have none!
