Method 1

you can ask contractor to hack small vertical strip of wall, put in a rectangle hollow
section between tv and cabinet, then cement back the wall hiding the hollow section.

then all wires can be run conceal trough the section.

Method 2.

do a simple flat wall timber panel between tv and cabinet so all wiring can hide behind
the panel

why not don't use cabinet at all? :D:D

Thanks for the idea!

Thanks. Very helpful.

hi gus, is 45'' tv too big for 7 feet width living room ?

too small. buy at least a 55in

this might help you a bit, actually the tv vs sofa distance comfortable range still depend
on your personal preferance.

How you hide the cable bro?

Where should i place the plug point? Behind the TV/cabinet or below the cabinet?

My house still in renovation. So, I don't have the TV and cabinet to measure. Hack first or proceed once I have the TV and cabinet ready?

Thanks.

Just a quick guidelines for you, 250mm - 500mm upper socket distance you need to adjust depending on your preferred TV height and your sofa distance from the TV for better watching experience.

Hi guys, sorry might not a suitable place to ask.
but anyway, do you know a specific type of wall plug to hang this 65" tv on my tv cabinet?


Bought tv bracket online by received this wall plug and i believed this is not suitable for my tv cabinet


This is my tv cabinet thickness around 2cm


I want to use this specific "metal butterfly wall spring wall plug" but it seems too small, I cant find bigger than this



Need you guys help to suggest me which proper wall plug to hang my tv at my tv cabinet

It seems that you have a TV feature wall.
You have to screw directly to the wooden studs for mounting the bracket.
Anyway, I'm in doubt if your feature wall stud thickness can withhold the TV weight.
In addition, if the wall panel anchor is not properly reinforced, you are at risk of tearing down wall and breaking the TV.

The butterfly wall plug may be enough to hold the bracket but not the TV.
The wall board may break first.

Usually TV we use M10 drop in anchor to mount the TV bracket onto the wall itself with the right bolt length and size.

The drill hole M10=10mm outer diameter
The inside hole of the anchor, takes a bolt of imperial size (around 5/16" IIRC). The length that the bolt goes in into the anchor will stop ~halfway of the drop in anchor total length.
Better go hardware store and get the M10 anchor and matching bolt length that fits the anchor + your cabinet thickness

A TV is only like 30-40kg, divided over 4-6 bolts is more than overspec already even with the lousiest china made bolts.

Received this together with my tv packaging

This should be bolt at the back of the tv together with bracket right...
later i can hook it to my tv bracket (install at tv cabinet)

Yes these are for the TV to bracket.
The concern is on how you gonna mount the bracket to the wall as the TV of that size n weight can rip out the feature wall or cause the chipboard hole from being an o to 0 elongated hole.

is melamine board able to hold 55/65" TV? or plywood would be better?

reverse parking for info

Melamine (chipboard) even for bookshelf also tend to sag over time with just books - the degree of sagging is reduced a little with thicker melamine board.
For a 55" Sony XBR-55X950G Weight of TV without Stand 39.7 lb (18 kg)
For a 65" Sony KD-65X7000E Weight of TV without Stand Approx. 20.9 Kg

Problem with chipboard it can split, sag, and bend. Hence its not really a good idea to mount heavy stuff onto it.
Mounting it onto a concrete wall is the best because concrete can easily handle a load of 7kg per sleeve anchor/drop in anchor if you use M10.

A single M10 drop in anchor 3.6 kN = 367.1 kg

Even if you use the lousiest shit anchor made in china I derate it 80% lah.. still can support 72kg per anchor
which is on rough BS calculation more than the 7kg per anchor you will need for the TV weight.

The chipboard or plywood should not be the loadbearing part of the mounting. It is for show only. Adapting the bracket to mount on to solid wood planks (acting like studs) is not hard. The 2x2 goes BEHIND whatever melamine board there is.

You just need one or two 2x2" hardwood at about 10 bucks each https://shopee.com.my/Cengal-Solid-Wood-Tim...9382.7661484661
