Bedroom TV upgrade (replace your old CRT TV)

[MrE]

When I got my 1986 it had a Sony (really heavy, deep and square) TV and a separate VCR/DVD player. I started searching the Internet for something to replace them, and found a 24" widescreen LED TV with a built in DVD player that would fit the space and had some favorable options. Uses less power than a 50w light bulb, AC/DC compatible, only weighs 10 pounds and only 2" thick. I had a couple of large holes to deal with, so I chose to match the cabinetry and build a fake door that would be my new TV mount. I was able to match the laminate at Home Depot (Wilsonart) and get the whole job done for under $300.
