    Yes, put some soap on where you need to anneal it for bending then heat it. When the soap goes black that's the right temperature for annealing, so allow it to cool. I've done that with aluminium and 1/4" becomes soft enough to bend by hand once annealed, although it will depend on the grade.

    How much does the TV weigh?

    Working on the fact the back piece is 500mm high then I don't think it's intended for portable or small TV.?

    Not sure how you intend to mount/arrange this but if it's intended to free stand IE: Floor or Cabinet then Personaly as you have it designed then I don't think 200 x 6.75mm Ali is any where near strong enough to hold a TV.? . . . Would think about some gusseting or bracing.!
    I just don't have the room to do it at the moment. Looking for a shop to do it for me. So, any recommendations?

    It is for a 37" TV, weighing 25lbs.
