[bealerDSB]

LOL :. OK if you watch TV standing up I SUPPOSE :#@$#$@

[mx6lover]

This freaking song is KILLING ME! Please my GF is EMO enough I don't this song to rub it in !

[PETKKKO]

whats a LCD PLASMA TV ??? :s

lcd is not plasma and plasma is no lcd, its one or another lol

[NCWC916]

Why such big ass holes? If you wanted you COULD actually just cut a small 2x3 in hole behind the tv to run ALL your wires and place a single gang wall plate over the hole so its cleaner....OR if you must, buy a vanco in wall power kit with a separate low-voltage channel to run your a/v wires....Im sorry but you tore that wall up way too much.

[bobyard123]

can any 1 tell me how 2 turn off that bloody child lock? y do we need it

[TheChance62]

im a professional installer and ya dont need to hack the wall up so bad to install over a fireplace there are special power and cable plates you can buy this oviously was done by a unskilled homeowner

[charlesh805]

Thanks for posting. Great Job. Your setup is very much like mine. Its not as difficult as I expected. I should have tackle this 3 years ago when I bought my home.

[82anewme]

best video so far... well done

[rogerscottburchett1]

looks fucking great dude man

[sslickess]

im mounting my 35" samsung in my room but a little concerned about the concrete wall that i will be putting the lcd on. any suggestions and/or help

[kloned66]

Make sure to use concrete anchors in the brick.

[maybachlover15]

never put high voltage and television cable in the same electrical box! The high voltage signal interferes with the TV cable.

[niceAswift]

awesome example.... small tv lolz

[mattinmo]

when you mount your tv like that then you have no where to put your audio/video accesories.

[jeffhanson1]

Is that a real fireplace? I guess you didn't get the word. Why do people insist on putting TVs above fireplaces which results in heat failure in many cases?

[ShawnJames91]

Bring me to life? really dude? its already overplayed on every other genre of videos, let alone a wall mounting vid... but thanks for the helpful vid nonetheless. :)

[mrswaggad]

Most of Yah Haten.,Dis Is 1 of Da Best Wall Mounting Videos If Seen Yet.,Thankx For Da Vid.

[boseam5s]

I farted when I saw this...

[shawnspeed3]

Isn't that TV too high? My neck would hurt watching at that angle...

[x3rs3s]

good work but shit music man.

I have a fuckin headache!

[TheRecon4]

Thanks im going to do this in a few weeks 32 inch samsung lcd

[LICKPIMP]

CHEAP ASS SETUP UP SHOULD HAVE PAID BEST BUY FOR A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION... GUESS YOU LEARN YOUR LESSON... IM SO TIRED OF IGNORANT PEOPLE TRYING TO CUT CORNERS AND SAVE MONEY WITH DIY PROJECTS... SHITTY INSTALL GUY....

[motometalracer]

@LICKPIMP

your probaby the type of jackass that best buy makes they're money off of over priced products and services, Or you just dont have the brain power to do shit yourself Go fuck yourself!!!!

[Soulrider2012]

@LICKPIMP What an idiot. Just exactly what would Best Buy have done so differently than this guy did? Nothing. Nothing that matters anyway. While not what I would have done it's a nice clean install. You should probably troll somewhere else where you make a little more sense. My guess is that probably isn't going to happen so you're just stuck sounding stupid.  You calling someone else ignorant is funny. Typing in all caps is the icing on the cake. Go elsewhere trollboy.

[gonzo532]

Nice install, did you have to go through studs when you ran the cables between the openings? If so, ho did you get through the studs without messing with the dry wall?

Thanks!

[krisachar]

Great job,good step by step illustration & terrefic background music...I love it !

Thanks & Love,

kris.

[DuBPr0bLeM]

I am an engineer. Thankyou for the idea. That guy from Nj is a nucklehead ,dont pay any attention to him/her.

[ClassicElectricNJ]

Looks just like Craig's List Contractors install! No drop cloths, low voltage and high voltage in the same box without a divider, cable television wire in the same box too... this is far from a how to video. Stick to your day job.

[killakid443]

my mom will kill me if i do that to her wall !!!

[ra21256]

@killakid443 i know

[jcmark42]

Nice video. I never would have thought to use an access panel. Great idea. I like to use the smallest hole possible so I used those small round desk trim hole covers meant for computer wires.

[andyv916]

Now your Tv is so high your going to have a sore neck . And you do know HDMI is video and audio. You did`nt need all of those wires .

[gcadmes]

Excellent example!!! Thank you!!

I will be doing a very similar installation in the next few days, running cables to the left of my fireplace. Sharp 52"

The only difference is that I have a giant window that butts-up against the fireplace on the left side. Not sure if I will be able to run cables as the window might be to close.

I may need help, mind if i send an email?

thanks

Greg

I took a picture

[kloned66]

Sure, let me know

[bakuganrawesome]

wow.........................

[arangel0708]

best video so far on youtube

[gwalia4]

Love the step up. I think i would just want to run a HDMI and Power. Can you do a video about how to run power and video cables through the studs.

[jcmark42]

You shouldn't run any power cords through the wall. As in the video, you should have a dedicated outlet for the TV. As for the HDMI, use an electrical fish tape or if you are going straight down the wall cavity, a string and weight can do wonders.

[BarLightingDOTcom]

Great install! Way to pull the wire diagonally like you did! You must have opened the wall on one of those studs to run the cables around it? Try some LED lights behind it too, good job.

[MsCrazyboyz]

i lk xmas

[biozepp]

All of these comments on the TV being too high obviously don't have neck issues. The first thing a chiropractor will talk to you about relieving neck issues is to keep your chin up. This is the same viewing angle that students look at instructors, or at a movie theater.

[dawnye1]

thank you . you are so right. i was thinking the same thing

[redwolf4k]

I see alot of talk about code issues, you have to understand...probablly 75% of wallmounted tvs violate code in some way, the powerd cord through the wall, mixed voltage boxes, etc. Not really a HUGE deal, think about how many electrical code violations are present in an old house...like an outlet in a closet for example. I wouldnt worry about his install...alot of stuff that MEETS CODE is more dangerous depending on the quality of the job lol.

[STARSHINE852]

Give this person some credit.I'm sure they are not that dumb to place it above a working fireplace. A tad, just a tad off center but I think it looks great. Nice job.

[PalParkTigers]

way too fuckin high are you kidding me

[Amarventris]

above the fireplace?

[biggestjohn888]

Building code violations for sure.

Yes, the TV is too high, after half an hour of viewing, you definitely need a neck massage !

[nnossov]

I agree tv is way to high.

[GoldGalaxyMusic]

one mans dream????my dream is to have 3 girls on top of me hehe yeah but i still want to hang my tv :v)

[elvis459]

Also if you need to go around studs it's easier to make a small hole on either side of the stud and chip a piece out of the stud, then simple fish your wires around the stud and plaster over them. Much easier than trying to drill a hole through the studs.

[redsbleeding2003]

dude u didint show the most important part how did u fish the cable from the wall mount cut out to the other cut out byt he ground?!!?

help please that is wher ei am stuck

[elvis459]

Buy an electricians "fish Tape" they are very cheap and you can get then in metal or plastic, feed it down from the top hole to the bottom hole, tie your cable to it and pull it through. I dont own this video but have done this on a few TV's and is quite easy. Hope this helps you.

[saragrrlx08]

how do you get past the stud that between the 2 holes? If one hole is above fireplace and the othert is on te bottom and to the left I`m sure there is a 2x4 between the two holes

[elvis459]

You make a hole either side of the stud exactly opposite each other , then knock the plaster off the stud and chip a notch out of the stud, you then thread the wire out through the hole across the stud through the other hole and then down and out a third hole. When you plaster over the stud the wire should be just below the surface.

[zolozan]

i think your tv is a bit too high form ground, dont you have raise your neck a bit in roder to watch tv?

[kloned66]

Actually that is a big misconception.

Never really had to get used to it.

Very easy to watch...

I gues we are all used to the floor console from the 70's lol

[andysak150]

nice job it worth it when you sell your house if you ever do because new owners have pre wired

also raises property value

[deano27]

Excellent looks amazing. I am a bit nervous about smashing the wall, but looking at that it is worth the effort. Nice video.

[cemkaya9966]

how do you get the wires between studs ? do you drill a hole?

[kloned66]

Yes, it is very easy but you need a very long one

[cemkaya9966]

thank you very much it gotto be hard to drill...

[mattman882]

that looked amazing with the christmas decorations. i cant wit to get my hdtv, im putting mine on the wall also. im taking the easy way out tho because im gonna have my stand below the tv and that will hide the wires. and once again, setup looked amazing 5/5

[pepijn744]

Nice work

[aboudnq]

thats cool man but i think its not that hard

the satiation is the Concrete wall that i have

i don't know what should i do

[sanvitode]

I was wondering. I have to hook up a digital box and a dvd player. I didnt see is that connected to the 6x9 plate at the bottom? I dont have the tv yet and Im redoing our bedroom. Do you recommend buying it first. I was going to wait till we had the new bed room furniture then mount the tv. So its at the right height. Any suggestions. Great video loved it.

[kloned66]

Yes I recently bought an audio pier and placed it next to the fireplace on the left. It is directly in front of the white box. Now you can run these wires anywhere in the room if need be. Just remember that you will need to place a cabinet, an audio pier or a shelf in front of the white access panel. Where are you placing the TV? Tell me more about the layout and if you have a basement or attic?

Thanks

[reaz82]

Great video. How would this differ if you had to route wires in an exterior wall? I have a prefab fireplace and am planning this project. Mounting the tv seems easy. However, routing the wires seems difficult. Any advice would be appreciated.

[kloned66]

Can you explain more about the exterior walls?

Thanks

[rronnie2007]

Thank You very much for the video. This was the perfect video because I'm mounting my tv above the fireplace as well. My wife thought I was crazy when I was talking about doing this.

[kloned66]

Just remember this....

Behind the fireplace (if it is a natural gas fireplace) it is hollow. I did not beleive it until I saw it with my own eyes. There is just a 9" tube running up the length to the top.

Good Luck with you mount.

It has been over 6 months and I have had no problems with my set or while using the fireplace.

Remember to check Ebay or other sites for cheap mounts. They are all made in China so it does not matter what you buy.......

[Gissur33]

Doesn't look like your tv is centered to me. May just be the camera angle.

[kloned66]

No, I have gotten many emails stating this. But I assure you it is centered..

[KubuntuYou]

Bravo, gentlemen. Top notch work. Mahalo.

[kloned66]

Mahalo!!!! Are you kidding me....I am in Waikoloa, The Big Island as I send This...

I love Hawaii.

N Mahalo to you!!!!!!

[kloned66]

You need 2 hdmi's

1 for the hd cable and the other for hd dvd

Coax was ran for backup for both of these or to use a vcr or dvd player that doesnt have hdmi outs.

Make sure you run speaker wire and either svideo or rca for a back up also.

I hope this helps.

[vdalian]

nice job..wish i could do this in my apt w/ my 52" sharp..but it'd be alot of fun patching the wall back up when i move out

[templeville]

Hey very nice job im looking to do this at the moment myself you look to be a handyman good stuff

[gat4632]

how much experience u have can a ordinary person like me mount it how did you do the socket

[kloned66]

You can do it very easily if you use the access panels. As far as wiring the socket, you need to really know what you are doing. Hire an electrician or find someone with experience. Also, it would be a really good idea to make sure that their is a GFI on the circuit.

Good Luck!!!

[MrMann91]

If the T.V is not plasma, can it still be screwed on the wall?? Msg me if you know. Thanks

[kloned66]

You can put any type of tv on the wall. You just need the correct bracket to munt it.

[badstocktips]

If there are straight drops in your cable run you can usually take off the baseboards and drill out the studs behind them, then replace the baseboard over the drilled site. I've seen people on the internet fishing cable runs with magnets which looks fun, but fish sticks work great.Also watch out for the electrical. its prolly illegal to be running flexible cords in/through hollow wall spaces.

[leading300]

hey wats the name of the song!

[sg1969camaro]

Stop and Stare by OneRepublic

[sonyredgal]

Very nice. Fishing the cables must have been a chore seeing that you had to also go horizontal. How did you manage that?

[kloned66]

I only had to go through 3 studs.

2 at the bottom to the right.

1 at the top to the left.

The only thing that stunk was I had to patch the holes..

[kloned66]

I wish you goodluck with your's.

[allmc23]

Excellent job!!!!! You made it look so easy.

Where do you hook up the dvd and playstation.

[kloned66]

I bought a media cabinet that sits in front of the plugs that are just left of the fireplace.

[imissLA]

i love it!

[kloned66]

TY TY Very Much....

[prestone818]

pretty clean, which i had the patience to make it look that nice

[kloned66]

Wasn't as bad as I though it would be..

[jasonacevedo00]

great job. where do you have your components?

[Americo1974]

Isn't the TV way too high up?

[kloned66]

Well that is up for discussion. It is all preference. Actually you get used to it after a few days. It looks really good.

Thanks,

Kloned

[Americo1974]

Thanks, Is there any way to use a lock in the wall mount? I mean to lock the TV into the wallmount.

[gus738]

kloned very nicely done are you a member in the avs forums? do you have aim/msn ? your work is awesome mounting the tv is one thing but you did that and beyond with the wiring conceled.... whats a level built? and something about 29 bucks on ebay? please share any comments thanks oh and on avs forums im gus738 pm me will ya?

[kloned66]

The wall mount has a built in level built in so you dont have to waste time measuring. It was only $29.00 on Ebay. Look for Assiamounts on Ebay.

[iuseyew]

wow, very nice!!!

[MichaelIstall]

Well done !!!

[kloned66]

Buy your HDMI cables on Ebay for about $10.00-$15.00 instead of $50.00-$75.00 in the store. They are the same quality and lets face it their all made in China. My picture rocks with my HDMi's I bought for $10 off of Ebay. Also buy your mount on ebay also and buy the one with the level built in. Its a no brainer. The 6 x 9 access panel is my idea. I thought of it one day at Lowes while I was trying to figure out how to plug the big hole I made. Use it, youll love it.

Thanks,

Kloned
