65-Inch TV Mounted on Living Room Drywall in Dallas, GA

A Dallas, GA homeowner wanted their 65-inch television mounted on the living room drywall with full articulating capability. The open-concept living and dining area required a mount that could redirect the screen toward multiple zones. A full motion arm was chosen for flexibility, and a power outlet behind the TV keeps all cords hidden even when the arm is fully extended.

The full motion mount was secured to two drywall-backed studs in the living room, centering the 65-inch TV at 44 inches from floor to screen center. The articulating arm extends 22 inches from the wall and provides a wide swivel range, allowing the homeowner to aim the screen at the main sofa, the kitchen island, or a reading chair by the window. A recessed power outlet was installed directly behind the TV to eliminate any visible power cord.

Structural lag screws were driven into wood studs, supporting the combined weight of the TV and articulating arm with a generous safety margin. The arm was load-tested at full extension and at multiple swivel positions to confirm smooth, sag-free operation. A recessed electrical outlet was installed behind the TV by routing code-compliant in-wall rated wiring to the nearest circuit. A laser level was used at every stage to ensure the bracket remained perfectly horizontal.

The Dallas living room now features a 65-inch screen that pivots to serve the entire open-concept space. The full motion arm makes it effortless to redirect the TV for different activities, and the hidden power outlet ensures a clean presentation whether the TV is flat against the wall or extended on the arm. The stud-anchored installation provides reliable stability at every viewing angle.
