Im building a cabinet for my next tv (x940C) it will be in a corner and im planning on making the screen flush with the front of said cabinet with a boarder around it. how much of a gap around the screen should i leave for ventilation an inch? 2?

Check the manual, it usually have this kind of information, which we normally ignore.

LED = efficient = smaller slit(s). Plasma = power hungry = needs a little more vent.

closest being the 940 isnt out yet was for the 950 and 79 900 and they both recommend 4 inchs all sides except the top which is a 11 7/8s alot more than i was thinking

Install exhaust fans. Hook them up to a smart surge protector with the TV they will power on and off with the TV.

My UN65F8000 is mounted similar to what you want to do. In my case I already had the (expensive) furniture from my prior TV, a 65" Mitsubishi RPTV. CRT rear projections were very deep, but I wanted to use the same furniture but mount the F8000 near the front. I have only about an inch on each side, an inch and a half on top, and about two inches or so below the TV. The main reason for the 2 inches above is to clear the pop-up camera on the TV. I have no heat issues at all, however I do have a LOT of open space behind the TV (see pictures). The black piece below the screen it a cloth covered quick 'n dirty filler. Eventually I intend to make a nicer piece with some shelves, and move my 50 pound center channel down from the top of the world.

Note: The mount picture shows the stand attached to the TV. The stand is not normally attached.

i was considering this , putting two 220 Cfm computer fans on a computer powersupply and having them vent out by were the center channel will be though im not sure how much of a gap to leave around it
