Jameswhite1979 5.1 wall mounted LCD 1st attempt

Hi guys,

After using this forum area for ideas I thought I should post my small project. This is my first home cinema effort and am quite pleased with the results and have learnt a lot for next time


This is a Samsung 40" 1080p, HTPC, Sony BluRay S350, Jamo 5.1 surround speakers, Onkyo 507 amp and QED micro cable. The picutre and sound are good and everything needed signing off from the wife before installing so not everything the way I wanted it


Completed images to come and I welcome comments and feedback....

Looks promising mate, looking forward to seeing the completed project... oh and thanks for making me feel old, when looking at the pics the one that made me go 'oooh' the most was a pic of the flooring!

Looks good, where did you get the dual gang faceplate that all your cables come out of? Is this just a standard blanking plate that you have modded?

Hi - I bought them online here AV Wall Plates | HDMI Wall Plates | SCART Wall Plates | Speaker Wall Plates | VGA Wall Plates | Modular Wall Plates I do now though wish I had bought the brushed edition but easy to swap out later on if need be.

Thanks for all the comments so far and I will get pictures of it completed this Friday.

I like your floor James, is that a laminate or real wood? Do you have a link?

Thanks, I had been looking around for flooring for ages and the best I found was at B&Q of all places. It is Real solid Oak (colour coffee) and was quite easy to lay took about 2 days.

This is the room almost complete. All the AV in installed but I am going to swap out the AV cabinet for a sideboard and hide things away a little more. We are getting a table and chairs, new fire etc to finish the room after Xmas.
