Do you mount your TV on the wall? Can I see your setup?
- Thread starter Tiber
- Start date
I bought a Samsung Frame 50 inch - comes with a flush wall mount and an "invisible " cable - a very thin transparent cable that is extremely subtle and almost lives up to its name. I'm still going to stick it behind the drywall after our houseguest leaves but even that's much easier since the cable connects to a breakout box with all the hdmi, optical, coaxial and so on so you can stick that in furniture and hide consoles and receivers and what not.
The invisible cable is extremely long too so I am currently able to actually run it along the baseboard to a piece of furniture that n another wall.
it has a great picture too - qled not oled but the art mode is what made the missus sign off on it (mimics gallery framed picture and you can use your own images or select from theirs).
There's also an "ambient " mode on some models that makes the tv blend into the wall - you take a photo of the surrounding wall - pattern, color, texture- and the tv tries to chameleon into that pattern.

Just mounted my TV a couple weeks ago and am very happy with it. It pulls out a couple feet and and articulates well for my space. Running cables was surprisingly easy. Just cut two squares with a drywall saw, fish cables a couple minutes, and install the plates.

Honestly? I just like the way it looks and think it would improve the room.
Are you going to have a console underneath too? I wanted one and mounting didn't make much sense at the level I wanted to hang it. So just went with the standard set up.
I recently did this. I live in a small cabin, and it helped me to reclaim some space. As long as you can angle it downward (as I assume most mounts allow), it's totally fine.
Just use imgur.com. Upload you photo there and then copy the link and paste it here.
Thats what's not working for me. Clearly doing something wrong I guess lol.
Not sure if it shows the image lol. I have a frontal cable managed mounted TV for this house. The New house being built will have a low voltage pipe behind the dry wall, and an extra outlet high on the wall to power the tv . I could've hid the cables years ago, but I got lazy and since we're selling soon so I dont care anymore.
I love it! :3
Thank you, maybe i'll post some more at a later stage!
I'll probably post it in the gaming setup thread though as I don't want to derail this thread. :)
That was a big reason for me. Also, a lot of big TVs don't swivel. Most of the time I keep it parallel to the wall, but if we have guests, I aim it at the nexus of the sectional.

This looks like the "floating" A/V cabinets
I was checking out at Best Buy. How do you like it? Thinking about going this route with IR repeaters.
right click the uploaded image and select "copy link" not "copy post link" and only after it's fully loaded - right click- click off then do it again.
click the picture shortcut in the menu here or bracket the link with no spaces between [ i m g ] and [ / I m g ]
if on windows copy the share link with
The cabinet is custom built, but I do use IR repeaters with an URC MX-990 remote.
These are some absolutely lovely setups. Mine is mounted to part of the entertainment stand. No pics my place is a lil messy right now.
Love the rabbit and I also love that you missed the point of this entire thread...haha.Nothing hi-tech here, but since we're showing our setups.
There is a whole thread dedicated to showing off setups (tvs mounted and not mounted to the wall).

Dont' have a picture of my setup, and the cable management right now isn't great, but it was a breeze. I did the entire thing by myself on my 65 inch 4k no problem. All my research brought me to the same consensus you're seeing in here - don't mount it too high, it looks 'nice' being high on the wall but it's inappropriate for actually watching the damn thing. I got one with a relatively long arm so that I can tilt the tv about 45 degrees towards my kitchen when I'm cooking, it's also not in the center of a room so it helps with getting viewing angles for the entire area.

Bunny!
65" flush mounted. I opened the wall and ran a conduit between the back of the TV and the cabinet on the lower right, which holds PS4 and AppleTV.
