Wall mounting a TV...how?

[Ali]

Piece of piss mountin it, but how do you hide the cables...Everyone seems to fire them into the wall...But what happens if it's a big wall and the TV's in the middle! I don't see how you get the cables to a power source or amp etc??

Pics would help.

Lovely job

 

[Revels]

Good skills. You'll be pissed when your mrs decides its time to re-arrange the lounge tho!

 

[Dansta]

Exactly what I was thinking. Mine does it on a regular basis.

just a pain if you ever need to move them ?
my brotherin law does all this wall mounting tv's etc (his job)
he has done the same in his house

The layout of the lounge means thats the only position we can have the TV wall mounted. I keep her happy moving the chairs and stuff round hehe

 

[Ali]

Thats top work Jonny.

Looks like an awesome job matey. Just hope i have the balls when i get my own place.

I've just stuck trunking onto the wall, as the Mrs refused to have the wires plastered in due to future movability.

Isn't too bad or particularly noticable, but may be moreso if it's on a large open wall...

^Will be on a large open wall! But likely to have a unit below it...So...not too sure really.

Trunking is the easy option. If you're having to do renovation work then go for burying the cables, but I doubt that will need doing in your new place (if you get it).

Nice job and everything looks decent there, but what's with that flower s**t behind the TV. It's like looking at old photos of my gran's lounge in the 70s!
