85-Inch Samsung Frame TV Mounted Above Brick Fireplace in Johns Creek, GA
A Johns Creek, GA homeowner wanted an 85-inch Samsung Frame TV mounted above their brick fireplace to serve as both a massive display and a statement art piece. The installation included Samsung's No-Gap mount for a flush profile against the brick, plus an in-wall concealment box with a dedicated outlet to house the One Connect box completely out of sight.
The Samsung No-Gap mount was secured to the brick fireplace surround using masonry anchors, positioning the 85-inch Frame TV at 54 inches from floor to center—centered above the mantel for a dramatic visual statement. An in-wall media box was created adjacent to the fireplace to house the One Connect box, with the single transparent cable routed through the wall cavity. Heat clearance was verified to maintain safe distance from the fireplace's heat output, with a minimum 8-inch gap from the mantel shelf.
A rotary hammer drill with masonry bits was used to bore precise holes into the brick surround. Heavy-duty concrete anchors were inserted and torqued to support the combined weight of the 85-inch panel and the No-Gap mount. An in-wall concealment box was installed in the adjacent drywall section using a low-voltage old-work bracket. The transparent One Connect cable was routed from behind the TV through the wall cavity to the concealment box. A dedicated electrical outlet was wired inside the box to power the One Connect unit.
The Johns Creek fireplace wall has been transformed into a stunning 85-inch art display that rivals a professional gallery installation. When in Art Mode, the Samsung Frame TV presents artwork across its massive screen with no visible wires or electronics. The concealed One Connect box and hidden cable routing ensure the brick surround retains its architectural character, while the masonry-grade mounting provides absolute stability for the oversized panel.
