Congratulations! Nice looking set. Keep us posted on what you think about it. Are you wall mounting? Happy New Year.
No. the TV must fit in the $3.5k entertaimment center's maximum opening of 40.5 inches (with doors removed).
Here's the problem I see with wall mounting:
WHERE DO YOU PUT ALL THE CABLES AND COMPONENTS? Unless you do nothing but watch boxless cable or OTA off an antenna, you still need SOMEWHERE to put all the cables. Unless you want to take the time to develop a convoluted system of running all the stuff through the wall to a cabinet in another part of the room, where to you put it all?
