When we bought the boat there was a cool little drop down box in the saloon centered with an NEC 4:3 analog TV in it. Custom fit.
The not so cool was being analog it hasn't worked for what a decade?
But it had potential...
The antenna feed was in the box as well as AV feeds from the DVD player in the saloon. I removed the old unit and installed a wall mount bracket on the drop down and popped in this 40 incher. You can still access forward via stairs w/o banging your head even as deployed.
But yeah, it has to go away when cruising and it does. I installed the same wall mount on the crew cabin wall, the entrance you can see in the pic lower port side. Just pull the latch releases, lift the set, tuck under arm and take down stairs and pop it up on the wall.
Neat and tidy -
