75-Inch TV Full Motion Mounted Above a Fireplace in Canton, GA

A Canton, GA homeowner wanted a 75-inch smart TV mounted above the white mantel gas fireplace in their living room. The room's seating sits off to one side of the fireplace wall, so a heavy-duty full motion mount was specified to let the large panel swing out and angle directly toward the sofa instead of staring straight across the room.

The 75-inch panel was mounted on the drywall chimney breast directly above the mantel shelf, set at the lowest point mantel clearance allowed so the screen stays as close to eye level as the fireplace permits. A heavy-duty articulating arm rated well above the panel weight lets the TV extend off the wall, swivel toward the seating area, and tilt down to clear glare from the adjacent window. Power and source cabling were routed inside the wall so nothing shows above the mantel or drops across the fireplace surround.

A 75-inch panel on a fully extended arm generates substantial leverage, so the bracket was lag-bolted into two structural studs rather than a single stud or any drywall anchor. Studs were located and confirmed across the chimney breast and the bay was scanned for existing wiring before the wall was opened for the cable pass-through. The plate was laser-leveled and squared to the mantel line so the screen reads true against the trim, cable slack was measured through the arm's full extension, swivel, and tilt travel so nothing binds or tugs at any position, and the mount was cycled through its complete range and load-tested before handoff.

The Canton living room now has a 75-inch screen that sits flat and clean above the mantel when not in use, then pulls out and angles straight at the sofa when it is. All wiring runs inside the wall, the mount is double-stud anchored to handle the weight and leverage of a 75-inch panel on an extended arm, and the installation is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
