85-Inch TV Mounted on Drywall in Braselton, GA

A Braselton, GA homeowner invested in an 85-inch television and wanted it mounted on their great room wall with full articulation capability. The full motion mount was selected to handle the panel's substantial size while allowing flexible viewing angles. A power outlet behind the TV eliminates visible cords.

The heavy-duty full motion mount was secured across three wall studs to distribute the roughly 75-pound load safely. Mounting height was set at 50 inches from the floor to screen center. The articulating arm extends 24 inches from the wall and swivels for flexible viewing from the great room's open floor plan. A recessed power outlet was installed behind the TV.

Three sets of heavy-gauge lag bolts were used across a 32-inch span, creating six anchor points. A reinforced steel mounting plate rated for screens up to 100 inches ensures zero flex under the 85-inch panel's weight. The full motion arm was tested at full extension to confirm stability and smooth articulation. A licensed electrician installed the recessed power outlet with in-wall rated wiring.

The Braselton great room now features an 85-inch screen that extends and swivels for perfect viewing from any seat. The triple-stud anchoring delivers unwavering stability, and the behind-the-TV outlet provides a permanently clean power solution. The full motion capability transforms the single display into a flexible entertainment solution for the entire open floor plan.
