65-Inch TV Mounted on Drywall in Kennesaw, GA

A Kennesaw, GA homeowner upgraded to a 65-inch television and wanted it securely mounted in their main living room with no visible power cords. A tilt mount was selected for its glare-reducing adjustability, and a dedicated power outlet was installed behind the TV to ensure a completely clean wall presentation.

The tilt bracket was anchored into two drywall-backed studs on the living room's primary wall, positioned at 43 inches from floor to screen center for comfortable seated viewing. The tilt mechanism provides up to 12 degrees of downward adjustment, ideal for reducing reflections from the room's recessed lighting. Stud locations were verified with both electronic and magnetic stud finders before any holes were drilled.

Heavy-gauge lag bolts were driven into wood studs with a torque-controlled driver, ensuring consistent and secure fastening. A recessed electrical outlet was installed directly behind the TV by routing new wiring through the wall cavity to the nearest circuit. The outlet's recessed box allows the power plug to sit flush, keeping the cord entirely hidden within the mount's footprint. All electrical work was completed to local code specifications.

The Kennesaw living room now features a 65-inch display that appears to float on the wall with zero visible cords. The tilt mount allows easy glare adjustment throughout the day, and the dedicated outlet behind the TV provides a permanent, maintenance-free power solution. The secure stud anchoring ensures long-term stability for the large panel.
