65-Inch TV Mounted on Drywall in Acworth, GA

A homeowner in Acworth, GA envisioned a fully articulating TV setup in their family room, pairing a 65-inch display with a full motion mount on drywall. In-wall wire concealment was included to route all cables behind the wall, achieving a completely cord-free appearance from every angle—even when the TV is extended away from the wall on its articulating arm.

The full motion mount was secured to drywall-backed wood studs in the family room, centered on the main viewing wall. The mounting height was set at 44 inches from the floor to screen center, calibrated against the distance to the sectional sofa. The articulating arm allows the TV to extend outward by 22 inches and swivel left or right, making it easy to redirect the screen toward the dining area or back to the main seating zone. Stud placement was carefully mapped to ensure the bracket's weight capacity was fully utilized.

Structural lag screws were anchored into two adjacent studs, supporting the combined 65-pound load of the TV and mount with a generous safety margin. For wire concealment, a recessed low-voltage cable plate was installed behind the TV, and a corresponding exit plate was placed near the baseboard. HDMI, power, and audio cables were routed through the wall cavity using a flexible fish tape, keeping every wire hidden inside the wall. The power cable was run through a code-compliant in-wall rated power bridge to maintain electrical safety standards.

The Acworth family now enjoys a 65-inch screen that moves freely on its articulating arm without any trailing cables. Whether the TV is pushed flat against the wall or extended for a better angle, the concealed wiring keeps the setup looking immaculate. The full motion mount adds remarkable flexibility to the room's layout, and the professional wire concealment eliminates the visual clutter that often accompanies articulating installations.
