Mounting a Sony 75inch Tv above the fireplace with all the wires HIDDEN by Dreamedia 

its the worst when it gets in your eyes

@@DreamediaInstalls I was wearing eye protection but still got some in my eyes a few times and the glasses started to steam up on me a couple times as well. I'm not sure how you guys work in that Texas heat.

🤦🏽‍♂️

You don't

Yer same i want to mount mine on the fireplace as we never use the fire so it would be fine

You just need to hammer and chisel pal and channel out the section you need and it’s just a plaster back over

Completely late to the party, but I do this for a living so I figured I'd share. We'd drill into the mortar in between the bricks and install our anchors and lags there. The mount would just attach to that! No in-wall wiring though. Unless you hired a 3rd party contractor that can take apart and rebuild a fireplace.

@@bobbyschopp1775 Hey Bobby! 7 months later now but say your bricks were covered in plaster and you can’t see the bricks and mortar? Is it safe to drill into either one?

Search 'pad saw'

Completely safe! It's only ever a concern if it's wood burning. But even then, the recommendation is around 10-12 inches from the opening of the fireplace. A mantle will also help protect the tv.

they make adjustable mounts so you can lower and tilt the tv to avoid neck strain

@@mikenice1204 There are devices from companies like MantleMount that allow you to bring the TV forward and down (around a foot to 16 inches) to address that exact issue. They start around $375 and for the manual ones and can get much more expensive for the motorized ones. Unfortunately, most people don't install those though and end up with neck strain from having a TV on the wall that is mounted WAY too high up. Getting mounted over the fireplace is probably the most common way for this mistake to be made in homes today. Of course, very few people ever actually think about that until AFTER their new TV is installed. Generally speaking, putting a TV up over a fireplace really is a bad idea, at a couple of different levels. But, people keep insisting on doing it, of course.

It's really only an issue on wood burning fireplaces but the recommendation is about 10-12 inches away from the opening of the fireplace. A mantle can also help with protecting the tv

Worst location… poor necks

Completely agreed. I'm constantly advising people NOT to do that, but they almost never listen.

How much is the cost on something like that?

@@CHBee619 they charged $170 to mount the tv. But it wasn’t worth it. I had hire someone to redo the entire progress cuz my tv was going to fall off the wall.

@@kofiboateng1241 thanks for the reply. Pricing it out now for myself.

@@CHBee619 Please find a professional to do the job for you, cos these folks on social media don't know the fell they are doing and they are trying to make quick buck. trust me. Good Luck!

anyone trying to use an HDMI 2.1 port would disagree

All HDMI cables are not equal. Many gamers need HDMI 2.1

Google it

Lol. Get you a cheap $6 HDMI from Walmart, and use it to connect your PS5 or Xbox Series X into your new 120hz 4k TV. Then in the game console settings go to your video output menu and tell me what all options are available. Several will be unavailable due to bandwidth limitations of the cable. The ones at Walmart are typically HDMI 2.0 18Gbps. You need HDMI 2.1 48Gbps for 4k@120hz, 8k@60hz. Most people don't NEED HDMI 2.1 cables at this time but there is most certainly a difference between good cables and cheap ones.
