Kuro - no stand, no wall mount?

I will be receiving a new Kuro 6020 next week (hurray!) I want to put it in an antique Japanese cabinet. It will BARELY fit -- IF I remove both the bottom speaker and the stand.

Is it a bad idea to place the Kuro on its bottom edge with the weight of the set pressing down on it? I'm guessing yes, but am wondering if any of you have any experience with that.

Any other ideas on how to make this work in a cabinet?

Ouch -- don't even joke about it falling out

Given the size of the panel and the shape of the cabinet, there's no way for it to fall out the front. So all I would have to do is add a couple of blocks in the back to prevent it from falling backwards. The back of the cabinet IS open, so access isn't a problem and it would have plenty of room for air flow.

BUT all of the weight would be on the bottom edge of the panel which doesn't sound like a great idea. The alternative like Jim mentioned would be to put a wall mount in the back, but having a solid back and enclosed top and bottom wouldn't give it any ventilation.

So I don't know. Maybe it's out with the old (the antique) and in with the new (the Kuro)

I'm pretty sure I can get the TV into the cabinet. And after looking at the product manual, I could probably mount it on a couple vertical pieces of wood to provide the necessary support.

I guess the biggest question is ventilation. Like I mentioned, the back of the cabinet is open, so there would be a couple of feet of air space BEHIND the TV. Unfortunately, there's only about 3/4" between the TV and the top of the cabinet, so not much there. But there are a couple of 1/4" gaps in the top of the cabinet that would allow *some* heat to dissipate.

I guess I'm just not sure whether you need open air behind AND above the set (or if it's enough to just have space behind it). Anyone have their Kuro mounted INSIDE a wall?
