Mounting Tv Above Gas Fireplace Hiding Wires

Hard wiring is not as hard as it may seem. Hiding the wires was a little harder.

We purchased this TV mount to enable the TV to extend beyond the end of a fireplace. The TV is recessed in a pocket between the fireplace and a window. This mount allows us to telescope and turn the TV so all can see beyond the fireplace. I consider the unit exceptionally well-constructed and designed. The mounting kit contains a variety of fasteners to anchor the unit to the wall. In our case, we needed our own lag screws to secure the frame to the stud pattern on the wall. The unit is is rather ornery and cumbersome to install. Plan on two people to install. The mounting template works well. But it is important to measure the mounting slots in the unit's frame to ensure the one's chosen align with the wall stud's locations. I recommend using a level and drawing a centerline for the fasteners to follow. Pre-drill holes into the wall studs. I strongly recommend not mounting through the drywall with plastic expansion anchors. There will be a lot of bearing on a material that is not designed for long-term structural integrity. We use all of the mount's 40" extension. It certainly meets our needs.

I got this to mount my 55 TV above our fireplace. This mount is very sturdy and heavy duty and not light. It came with all of the mounting hardware which was a plus. The only modification I had to do was build some brackets to extend it out to the edge of the fireplace mantel. Otherwise the TV would have set to high for our room. Our issue, not the mount.

We purchased this TV for mounting over our fireplace in our new home and it is perfectly sized and high quality. We've truly ramped up movie nights and overall TV experience enjoyment at our house!

It does what it is intended to do-in my case, the mount was attached in a recessed area above our gas fireplace and allowed the 65” TV to stick out of the recessed area for all to see.

Using it to mount my tv over a stone fireplace.

I bought it for an audio company, it works perfect for hiding all the wires and lines of equipment.

I'm impressed with this case. Great for hiding wires on the opposite backside of the motherboard. Tight tollerences and and well built. Lots of ventalation. Powder coat paint presents a durable finish. Snap fits close solid. Good wiring. Quiet fans. Solid switches. Good choice for under $60.

This unit is small and sits on a small black box hiding my wires. I like this. Sony also makes a good product good for older DVD's, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra Movies.

Did it myself. Mount works fine. At lot of work hiding wires. I wish these mounts had some cable management.
