Post pics of your TV on the wall

[Flipx99 5,000+ posts]

If you have your TV mounted on the wall with no wires showing, please post pics. I do not have an outlet where I will be routing the wires in the wall; thus, I will need to cut a small hole near the bottom of the wall and another behind the TV.

I need to somehow cut a small/clean hole in both those places. Any suggestions?

I see the key hole...no issue there. Do you just have a hole there? I'd rather have something a little cleaner.

yup..hole saw would be your best bet.

dynamite.

But you could probably get away with drilling a hole and force feeding it through.

This thing mounts to something. One of those electrical boxes. How do I put the electrical box in the middle of the wall?

you can cut the opening for the box out using a drywall knife.

Could I put that in the wall to attach the wall plate?

pop da hatch makes a good point. I think dynamite is the answer.

you cut out the drywall with a saw, insert the double gang box, use jiffy clips to secure it, route the wires into the box, then mount that plate.

What is this? Is that slang or is that what they are called if I go to my local home improvment store?

They make electrical boxes with little "ears" that open up behind the sheetrock to hold it in place. You can find them at Lowes or Home Depot.

edit; sorry, I'm a little late.

they sell fake out lit boxes at best buy,, the tv wires go in to the wall then down to the bottom comes out the bottom in to a special out let box were you will connect all the wires to that, almost like a sub box with the termanal cups,, then from that to your intertainment center
