    People love the idea of wall mounted tvs. But they have no will to consider the details.

    At least it’s not also over a fireplace.

      At least they have an excuse if it’s mounted over the fireplace.

      What compelled them to mount it so high on an almost blank wall?!

        Well it’s possible to retrofit, you need to be willing to open the wall which is not a bad thing as it allows you to make a frame so you can center the TV exactly where you want it.

      Indeed. I have my TV on a TV desk and behind it there is a huge mess of cables, all kind of hidden.

      On my desk I have:

      • ISP modem,
      • personal router
      • gigalan powered switch
      • VPN server (edgerouter X)
      • Toslink hifi dac
      • passive preamp with IR receiver to control the volume
      • The TV
      • x2 powered monitors (KRK RP6G3).
      • PS5 console
      • One headphone amp that lately I’m not using (Lyr 2) and I think I’ll reallocate.
      • A CCWGTV
      • And one HDMI cable coming from the PC.

      I use the desk to organise/hide everything. If I didn’t have it this would be a horrible mess.
