Ditto, Koven. We use similar casing to hide displays on flat walls. We
always build in access, because in my opinion, the internal/external power
supplies are the weakest component to displays and kiosks.
If the display fails and you can't get to it, then the aesthetic advantage

Thank you all for your feedback! With all the different responses, it's
encouraging to hear that you all share the same concerns, and would resist
embedding a display in a wall with no easy way to remove it.
So the issue of older video artworks mostly being 4:3 aspect ratio
continues to give me
We've had very good luck with ELO's open frame 4:3 monitors when faced with
the same issue, of old standard resolution content.

Happ monitors also work well for 4:3 content.

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.

hey George
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.
Monitor $1500

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 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?

- 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
