65-Inch Samsung Frame TV Installation Above Fireplace in Atlanta, GA
Project Summary
An Atlanta, GA homeowner wanted their 65-inch Samsung Frame TV mounted above the living room fireplace for a seamless, art-gallery aesthetic. A recessed electrical outlet was installed behind the TV to allow the display to sit perfectly flush against the drywall with zero gap. The result is a stunning flush-mount installation above a rustic wood mantel and stacked stone fireplace surround that doubles as wall art when not in use.
Installation Details
The 65-inch Samsung Frame TV was flush-mounted on the drywall above the fireplace using Samsung's No-Gap wall mount bracket. A recessed electrical outlet was installed directly behind the TV, allowing the power cord to plug in without protruding and ensuring the TV sits completely flat against the wall. Our team located two wall studs behind the drywall and secured the mount with heavy-duty lag bolts. The TV was centered above the natural wood mantel shelf at the optimal height, maintaining safe heat clearance from the stacked stone fireplace and wood-burning stove below. All cables were routed through the wall cavity for a completely wire-free appearance.
Professional Techniques Used
Precision stud detection confirmed two solid wood studs behind the drywall above the fireplace. The No-Gap mount was laser-leveled and fastened with lag bolts into both studs. A recessed electrical outlet box was cut into the drywall behind the TV's footprint, recessing the receptacle so the power plug sits flush within the wall cavity rather than protruding behind the screen. This technique eliminates the small gap that standard outlets create behind Frame TVs. All wiring was routed in-wall per NEC code. Safe heat clearance from the wood-burning stove and stone surround was carefully measured and verified before finalizing the mounting position.
Benefits to the Customer
The Atlanta living room now features a beautifully flush-mounted 65-inch Samsung Frame TV that sits perfectly flat against the wall like a framed painting, with no visible gap or cables. The recessed outlet delivers the true picture-frame aesthetic that Frame TV owners desire, eliminating the slight protrusion caused by standard wall outlets. When switched to Art Mode, the display blends seamlessly with the room's décor above the rustic wood mantel. Professional stud anchoring ensures long-term stability, and proper heat clearance from the wood-burning stove protects the TV from heat exposure.
