*Finally a Video showing what we needed. God Bless you!!! 😇😇😇* Sharon in SC
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
@@handydadtv*You have No Idea how many videos I watched before finding yours. If I could vote your video to the top for the search I would. 😁😁😁* Sharon in SC
Thanks so much 😊
I love that you can pull the TV out like that. Curious if I already have a wall mount, but wanted to replace with something like yours if I would have to drill new holes...🤷♂️
Hi Ben, this is the manufacture of this mount! We are going to launch a new mount for 42-70" TVs, if you are interested, contact us by clicking my profile, we would like to send you one for test.
You may be able to use the top two holes, but you’ll likely need to redrill the bottom ones. But it’s worth it. I will never buy another straight mount.
Another great video! Might I suggest a power strip surge protector behind the TV? Although since this video is a year old, you might have already added one. Great job and great vids, keep them comin!
Thanks 😊
Samsung's have 4 spacers in the pack with the remote and cord. M8-45 screws after
Might I suggest using a Keystone faceplate and jacks for the audio/video cables. This is done with network cables all the time. The reasoning is that, if a cable end goes bad over time from adjusting the TV, you'll only have to replace the 3ft cable to the faceplate. The current setup, you'll have to run a new cable the entire length to the device.
The cost difference between 3-foot and 12-foot HDMI cables is negligible. I prefer to use single cables for fewer points of failure.
@@handydadtv Agreed. Nice setup.
Hi handydad I really like your sound bar which type of sound bar do you have
The TV and sound bar are both Samsung.
Hi handydad, great video. I notice u did not use tape or thinset mortar on the joints of your cement board. Just wanted to know if it’s ok to do it without sealing the joints.
Depends on the stone you are using and if you are grouting it. I wasn’t grouting so nothing will crack if the corner joints move.
@@handydadtv thanks for the response. I’m not grouting, I’m using MSI natural stack stone ledger panels... in your opinion, could I apply those ledger stones without applying mortar to the cement board? Thank u
You should follow the directions for your stone. Otherwise it’s really your choice.
@@handydadtv thank u sir
Can you put anything on the soundbar to protect it from the heat that comes off the fireplace? What would you recommend
I recommend a mantle to deflect the heat if you’re going to put a TV above a fireplace.
Hi HandyDad, I have a similar style gas fireplace, "cabinet style". I want to mount my tv above the fireplace but I dont think there are any studs. My stud finder is not picking anything up consistently, and it all sounds hollow when I knock. What are my options?
What kind of material is above the fireplace? Stud finders won’t work through some surfaces. Can you poke a hole in the side to see what you’re dealing with?
@@handydadtv I'm guessing drywall like the rest of the house. I will have to do a small cutout to look inside as a next step.
@@handydadtv I drilled a hole in the side with a hole saw. I can see that there are a couple metal studs and no wood studs. It is a hollow metal-framed drywall box, with the fireplace exhaust pipe vented out the ceiling. With a doorknob sized hole on one side :)
This mount can be used on a brick fireplace???
Yes. It’s just harder to install.
You should really, really tidy up the wiring, its a mess dude, the video is good thanks.
Thank you, Marie Kondo, but it’s tidy enough for me. Who sees it?
