TV above a wood console on a beige wall

Set to the console below it, with the cable drop behind the console so the wall between stays bare. The screen is centered on the console, which puts it on the room's own centerline, and the flat bracket keeps it tight to the wall so the flowers beside it still have the shelf.

Drywall carries nothing on its own, so this bracket hangs on the framing behind it. The studs were found with a stud finder and confirmed with a magnet before the first hole, then the plate was bolted to two of them with lag bolts, levelled with a digital inclinometer and pull-tested before the TV went on.

Flat mounts give the cleanest profile and the lowest price, and they suit a screen that sits where you watch it from. Ours are levelled to a fraction of a degree and the panel is locked to the bracket before we let go of it.

TV mounting is a flat rate by screen size: $129 up to 54", $159 for 55-69", $209 for 70-79", $299 for 80-94" and $399 from 95" (2 technicians). The bracket is yours or ours from $49, and there is no travel fee.
