| Re: I need framing ideas for a "floating" screen with no back wall to support it
my 2cents...
I found the metal studs much harder to work with than I expected them to be, and while they don't warp per say, it was nearly impossible to make a perfect box that wasn't warped front to back on one corner.
-----------------------------
I would suggest using a french cleat like mechman did.
in fact, I'd probably do the french cleat to the rear wall, then contruct a box to 'float' the screen and put a french cleat on that - then you'd have the option of removing the float box and going back to the wall pretty easily.
