    I bought a Phillips 19" HD-LCD from Walmart for $198 just this week. I have it mounted just on the stand it came with and put into the cabinet that has the cable line in it. It fits just perfectly. I slide it back and fold a pillow in front of it and close the door. This is just about right for holding the tv securely but allowing just a little movement so it doesn't break.
    When I want to watch it, I just open the door, pull the pillow out, and slide it forward in the cabinet. Takes less than 5 seconds. FIVE SECONDS ..

    Now I just need to find a way of keeping the signal when I truck goes by, otherwise FANTASTIC picture when it's on.

    yes it is a custom mount. i think its kinda neat how they mounted it. but with these new tv's if you are laying on the bed you cant see the picture . i have to get them to pitch the tv , i think. i dont know any other way to correct the problem.

    Ahhhh that makes sense. Yeah, we mounted a 26" up high in the kitchen, and had to get a mount that would allow it to tilt down a bit, so that the picture was clear.

    Hubby's mount has the swivel for the angle on it as well as the articulating arms, so he can view it from the bed laying down, or if he wants, while waiting in line, he can view it from his drivers seat. Worked out pretty good. But like I said, we have to tighten it pretty often. I don't know if adding a lock washer would help, but I think that we are going to try that.
