What a great idea. Yes, it does look mounted in the cabinet. It doesn't appear to stick out at all, but it is often hard to tell in a photo.

We commonly install TV's like this in kitchens and other rooms as well. You can see some depth to the cabinet that allows a TV like this to either be mounted on a flat or articulating (meaning you can pull it out and swivel it) bracket. The appearance that the TV is "floating" in the opening is desirable.

Thank you for your inquiry! We designed this cabinet to have a shallow opening for this exact tv model with a false back panel. The tv is then mounted on a bracket attached to the false back. Hope this helps!

If a cable box is used, where is it housed and how do you ventilate? Thank you. We're trying to eliminate the open shelf look for the cable box & hide it in a cabinet with a wall mounted TV.
