I had Parallel AV design a custom TV to replace a Seura 19" in-wall TV (which failed and is no longer available) in my master bathroom vanity. I worked with Allegra at Parallel AV for the design of a backbox that needed to be the exact dimensions of the original TV backbox in order to eliminate any added construction in my original framed opening.
In the final design, the installation was perfect with no framing modifications needed. The Parallel AV TV backbox design was better than the original with 4 key holes and 4 adjustable key studs to align everything. The most difficult part of the installation was the removal of the old TV as it was caulked in with silicone and a tight interference fit!
The only thing to be aware of is that if your installation uses home automation to control the TV with wired IR control, the IR jack in the back of the Parallel TV is a wired IR Pass Through which interfaces with an IR Optical Receiver. It would therefore have to be controlled with a wired Optical IR Emitter (either a blaster nearby or an emitter taped to the receiver) as the "in wall" workaround.
Working with Allegra was a great experience as her patience with all my technical questions were answered promptly by her enginneers. The TV is a modern smart TV design and is high quality. I was also pleasantly surprised with the inclusion of a clever "mouse" remote control which is small and unobtrusive on the bathroom vanity.
If a custom sized TV replacement is needed to eliminate the cost and time to re-frame the site, I highly recommend using Parallel AV for replacement design. The design was approved on 6/3/2026 and delivered 6/26/2026. Installation was competed and tested in 2 hours.
