85-Inch TV Mounted on Drywall in Johns Creek, GA
Project Summary
A Johns Creek, GA family purchased an 85-inch television for their expansive basement entertainment area and needed a mount that could handle both the size and their desire for adjustable viewing angles. A heavy-duty full motion mount was chosen, and a power outlet was installed behind the TV to keep the large panel's cord completely hidden even when the articulating arm is fully extended.
Installation Details
The full motion mount was installed on the basement's main drywall wall, secured across three studs to safely support the 85-inch panel and the extended articulating arm. The mounting height was set at 48 inches from the floor to screen center, accounting for the room's deep sectional sofa and the oversized screen's vertical span. The articulating arm extends up to 28 inches from the wall and offers a full 180-degree swivel range, allowing the family to aim the massive screen toward the main seating area, the adjacent bar, or a secondary lounge zone.
Professional Techniques Used
Given the 85-inch TV's weight of approximately 80 pounds plus the heavy-duty articulating arm, six lag bolts were driven into three wall studs—two bolts per stud—using a calibrated torque wrench. A reinforced steel wall plate rated for 150-pound loads was used as the mounting foundation. A recessed power outlet was installed directly behind the TV's resting position by a licensed electrician, with in-wall rated wiring connecting to the basement's electrical panel. The outlet's recessed design ensures the power plug sits flush, preventing any interference with the mount's range of motion.
Benefits to the Customer
The Johns Creek basement has been transformed into a true entertainment hub with an 85-inch screen that can be directed anywhere in the room. The full motion arm gives the family complete control over viewing angles for movie nights, game days, or casual watching from the bar. The behind-the-TV power outlet eliminates the one cord that would otherwise trail visibly down the wall, and the triple-stud anchoring system ensures the massive display stays rock-solid at any arm position.
