Has anyone had experience burying an LCD display in a wall, so as to hide the
frame and/or crop the image to a desired aspect ratio? Our curators and
designers (not responsible for the well-being of the equipment) are keen on the
idea, as it will no doubt give the exhibition a nice clean look.
Is it possible to build a false wall with enough space to get to the monitor
from the back? That way if you need access you could remove the mounts and take
it out for servicing. This should also provide proper air flow. Even lcd tvs
produce some heat.

Is there any way to build a hinged recessed box like a medicine cabinet with a
frame? You could possible plug in a usb fan to circulate air as well.

You might want to check out an integrated touchscreen/computer. Elo makes a
really nice 32inch, that can be mounted fairly easily, doesn't require a full
size PC, is easy enough to access and update, etc.

For that, I like cabinet doors or blended panels with hidden, magnetic latches,
or tastefully-placed panel bolts. If the design accepts it, a floating
panel--not going all the way to the ceiling or the floor, cleated-and-pinned,
out in front of the wall is pretty easy to implement, too.

Hello George,
First off I am not sure I would use the answer I shouldnt, but I might --
the real answer, IMHO, is yes, I will, but I dont know when
Perhaps an alternative is a screen with extremely small bezel, such as
those which fall under Samsung's LFD (large format display) category.

I would go for an inwall mount like this:

Alos is this for a long term exhibit or a 3-4 month one? I would
obviously be more concerned on a long one.

I recently added to the TMS API work posted on GitHub to include something
that I wished someone had shared with me years ago.
Use Case: You load images into a DAM, and you would like to load the same
image immediately into TMS. With TMS, you need to create a MediaRendition
for the Object, then
I tend to agree with previous posters--heat is your biggest problem with a
recessed mount like that, and if you don't account for it, you'll need to
access the device(s) a lot more often. In the Greek and Roman galleries at
the Met, we built out casework that swung out for easy access, but allowed
You need a door for access. Why?

- Typos?
- Hardware failure. We've had several high quality displays fail on us
one month into a show. We've had several computers fail on us during the
middle of a show. We haven't had many
