98-Inch TV Mounted on Drywall in Peachtree City, GA Entertainment Room

A Peachtree City, GA homeowner asked us to mount a brand-new 98-inch class flat-screen TV as the centerpiece of their basement entertainment room. The space features a long, uninterrupted drywall accent wall — perfect for a true theater-scale display. Because the panel is roughly 87 inches wide and weighs more than most furniture, the install was completed by a two-technician team with specialized large-TV handling techniques. Dual recessed outlets were positioned directly behind the TV so power and low-voltage cables stay completely out of sight.

The 98-inch TV was installed on a heavy-duty large-format fixed bracket rated well above the panel's weight, anchored into multiple wood studs behind the drywall. Our two-technician team used a deep-scan stud finder to map every stud across the 8-foot mounting span, then secured a continuous steel wall plate across four studs to distribute the load. The TV was lifted onto the bracket together — one technician on each side — and seated into the locking pins simultaneously. Final screen height was set to 50 inches from floor to center, the ideal viewing height for couch-level seating in a basement theater room.

Four wood studs were mapped behind the drywall and the large-format bracket was through-bolted with grade-8 lag bolts torqued to spec for a panel of this weight class. A laser level verified perfect horizontal alignment before the TV was lifted into place. The two-technician lift technique is mandatory for 98-inch class displays — it eliminates bezel flex, prevents wall scuffs, and lets us seat both side latches at the same time. Two recessed in-wall power outlets were installed directly behind the TV's footprint, paired with a low-voltage pass-through plate so HDMI and Ethernet cables drop cleanly down inside the wall to the equipment cabinet below.

The Peachtree City entertainment room now feels like a true private cinema, anchored by a 98-inch screen that fills the wall without overpowering the room. The flush fixed mount keeps the panel close to the drywall for a built-in look, while the dual recessed outlets and in-wall cable pass-through deliver a perfectly clean wall — no power strips, no visible cords. Anchoring across four studs with grade-8 hardware safely supports the heavy panel for the long term, and the two-technician install ensured a damage-free, perfectly level result on the first try. The installation is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
