Needing a new LCD TV advice needed
Needing a new LCD TV advice needed
23-02-2019, 05:11 AM
Its not to be any smaller than 42" its also going to be wall mounted above my multi fuel stove . I'll be needing a wall mount that can tilt in the vertical direction but dont know much about which one to go for .
I was also thinking of putting my sky up the loft and using a magic eye thing to control it. The plaster board that is above the fire can be removed to get the wires etc for the TV . So is there anything else I should be thinking about doing when I've got walls down. Its just because I dont want to have it all done for someone to tell me a good idea that I should have done once the install is finished.

have you thought about surround sound
My only suggestion is to take all the inputs from the tv to a remote location so you won't have to run new cables if you even add things etc
Do you have a budget in mind

have you thought about a full tilt swivel arm bracket, as this allows the tv move out from the wall further, providing space behind for a shelf and all your kit

Moley No idea on budget and never even thought on surround sound .
My only suggestion is to take all the inputs from the tv to a remote location so you won't have to run new cables if you even add things etc
What do you mean by that ^^^^^^^^^ and how do you do it ??????????
Basically every input on the tv you will take the feeds to a remote location say where the surround sound brain is or maybe the DVD sky etc you would put all the connections on the tv to this location so should you in the future want to upgrade or add something you won't have nasty cables running down the wall it's all built in
Hope that makes sense I'll try and get a pic of my tv setup for you mate as it sounds like your going to do what I did

I'm thinking of the Samsung one , I also like the idea of a smart TV but definitely not going for 3D !! My only concern is the heat that the fire is going to generate and it ducking up the new TV . Well if the Sky is going up the loft would it be easy enough to get the rest of the connections up there to ??
