Framing Your Own TV

  TV frames
A front frame is routed out to fit the bezel of the TV and holds the glass in place. A back build frame is
built separately to the depth of the television to hide the sides of the TV.

back frame
The two frames are screwed together with L-brackets. The infrared repeater fits in a channel
(shown on the left hand side of the picture) in front of the sensor on the TV.

What size mirror do you recommend?
The mirror size is typically slightly larger than the viewable area, to fit under the frame without hiding any of the screen.
