I think 20" of cabinets may be a bit much. But you need something under this thin tv that will look like a framed pic on that wall. You need storage for components. Why not do the buildouts but only do say 10'? That should balance out the size of the tv on the wall and not make it look like a black monster.

we had this designed to make our 65" tv look like less of a monster.

I'm trying to custom design an entertainment center and found this web site. It might give you some ideas. My screen size is 46 (but we might go up to 52 in the future). Ours is for a basement playroom remodel. Between designing a bathroom (in a 6 x 6 space with a shower) and a kitchenette and this entertainment center (to accomodate surround sound components) - my brain is fried. But there are some gorgeouus setups here.

You guys are great! Thanks so much. Who would have thought that TVs could be so much of a problem?

Our family room is more casual and we don't have much moulding so I don't know if this will help you or not, but this is what we did with our 56" (I think) TV. I decided to not even try to hide it because I knew whatever doors we would have put there would have stood open most of the time anyway. Good luck with it!

hoosiergirl:

that is exactly what I picture mine to look like. our fp is at a 90 degree angle to where the tv will be (and adjacent to it).
Do you have surround sound? Where are your speakers and sub woofer?

Thanks!

Auntie Ellen, the speakers are in the walls (two on each side -- you can see one peeking out there just left of the book shelves [we really need to paint them!]), and I think the subwoofer is in one of the cabinets. We thought about putting screening in the doors, but just opted to leave the doors open on that side when we're watching a movie, at least for now. Hope that helps!
