Ok here goes a new build...
Having moved into the current house 7 years ago and building the current cinema room 6 years ago (where did the years go!) there has been one room in the whole house that we've ever touched since moving in a has been in desperate need for some TLC and that's our lounge.
REMIT - not our main viewing room but wanted a decent TV and half decent sound although due to beams and layout these were always going to be compromised.
Style of the house (apart from this room) is now contemporary so it needs a good update.
KIT
There is only one position for the TV and to date its taken up a lot of floor space and the challenge of wall mounting was always going to be viewing angle and convincing the Mrs that we should keep a 65 even though in it's current set up, it dominates the room (although I tell her it doesn't... but it really does)
So out with my beloved Sony 65ZD9
But in with a very nice (slimmer, lighter) Sony 65AG9
Simply buying a pull out TV mount would mean people just leaving it floating there and never pushing it back so I knew I wanted motorised and I luckily stumbled across this clever thing...
Not only that but managed to pick it up at a fraction of the price because it was box damaged so 50% off brand new in a tatty box. I also really kick Vogel mounts.
The Objective
Having seen how thin the bezel is on the AG9 the original plan of simply building a fake wall to house a new "box" for the TV quickly turned into an obsession to build and mimic something like the LG wallpaper TV BUT with the ability to come out the wall, whilst still maintaining the beam surrounds of that wall ie not eating into them.
And that's where the mission begins...
