After a few days trying to make, what is probably a simple piece of modelling, I can’t seem to get the result I want, I am trying to make the centre screen bit of the TV below (the selected section) but I can’t get the right result, all the smooths just seem to mess the mesh up 
Any pointers please? 
well i guess you could add a subsurf to the area mentioned. Then fix all the edges that you want to be hard.
I would also add 2 loops to this thing. horizontally and vertically. Then select the inner part and with Shift + Alt + c (I think, or was it s) you make this inner part round. (If the hotkey was wrong just press spacebar and search for to sphere)
Hope this answers your questions ;D
You could try modeling the outer edge and the inner edge separately, it should be easy, but make sure that you have the same number of edges/vertices along the edgeloops on both. Then connect the two using the ‘bridge edge loop’ tool.
