Go to an upholstery  shop and ask for sample of boat hull cloths. That is what I did and matched it up .

I removed the box, cut the cabinet down (very easy) then used hull linner material to cover the old foot print. 40" TV. Pm me for details if you like

Or use a matching vinyl fabric (matching is hard to do) or a contrasting one glued on a 1/8" masonite board.  Much thinner.

Go big, bigger the better with flat panel TVs.  Mount securely to wall bracket.

We found OEM aluminum structure a great place to bolt a wall mount.

Steve, Above driver's are DVD player and some other stuff, but have our DirecTV DVRs to the right of TV in an open cabinet. All could have been put above driver's chair and if there is closed door, an IR repeater would work for IR remotes. Door closed over RF remotes don't need repeaters. But closed doors over electronics tend to keep heat in, so no doors have an advantage.
