[Dansky+HD]

Hi all,
I'm betting that

Most of you have a flat screen TV

Most of you would like it wall mounted and even more if you (not the rich ones) have ur TV's in the corner.

With the TV, Sky or Virgin box, PS3, XBOX, Wii,

Can anyone find a solution to both the space problem and wire problem of a set up with all these items and keeping it wall mounted.

Any ideas or pics of ur set up would be appreciated.

Thankyou

Dan.

I have a PanasonicTXL 32 D28, thought about a wall mount as its in the corner, but in the end could not be bothered,due to wires showing. I have the TV/HDD recorder/| Multi Satellite tuner.

Must say a lot of wall mounts are spoiled by wiring,in my opinion

Sorry but trying to find a good solution to this home media theatre problem.

Had to get this thread back to the top.

Thought TV corners would be most popular and therefore more solutions for people with lots of tech and a need to put on display without looking ugly with a wire city behind.

If anyone can post a pic if their corner tv unit to give me ideas I would be grateful

Thanks for the help in advance

When I set up my first pro-logic array yonks ago I too got bogged down in a corner-based mindset.
After several years I realised that was no good. You simply have to gut your room/house and set up a room around a telly in the middle of a wall. You will never visit a cinema/theatre with screen/stage "in the corner"afterall.
Sorry if this sounds unhelpful but I'm trying to save you from years of anguish and wasted effort..... at the very least you should take time out to consider the alternative and review why it's supposedly "impossible".

I tend to agree with boselecta. With crts you want them in the corner as they are so deep but with a lcd/plasma it makes sense to mount them on the wall. It also helps if you go for 5.1 as its easier to place the speakers and get a good sound if the fronts are placed against/on the wall where the tv is.

Whilst in an ideal world I would gut the whole house and start again, in the current financial climate and the risk of the wrath of my family I just don't see this as an option.

A corner tv set up is not my preferred option but unfortunately is the only option to me.

If you read all the previous post including this post and can help in a positive way and either guide me on the right path or better still find me the perfect solution I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks to those that help

Kind regards

There are plenty of glass units that would take all of your bits and pieces and all but the very cheapest have an integral cable management system (usually central at the back) which would successfully hide your cables.

Wall mounting across the corner is going to use the same space as putting it on a glass unit.

I am in a similar situation, cant mount flat onto a wall due to geaography of doors windows and traffic through etc
But I do have a chimney breast which I am hoping to mount the screen onto the side of and swing out for use but it can swing back parallel to the side wall into the corner
with all the boxes housed on shelving recessed back into the space

I realise that all rooms are different etc but have you though of somehow swinging the screen out into the space?

Frosts mount looks right.
Wiring hide with those plastic raceways/conduit, there are plenty of places selling those wire hidy things online and such, standard home theatre consideration these days. Not quite as good as behind the wall wire management but I figure you don't feel like fishing wire through the wall.

You could do what I have done. All of my equipment is hidden away in an understairs cupboard with a Powermid XL infra red extender to control it from the living room. Cabling to the TV runs in trunking above the skirting board.

I do quite a lot of flat panel tv installs.

Mostly what I do is fit the tv on the wall an it's own bracket, then underneath the tv fit a "floating" shelf (the sort where the mounting bracket is hidden by the shelf itself) directly under the tv for the dvd player, sky box etc. The installation is a lot neater with just 1 shelf, but make sure if stacking lots of kit, put the sky box on the top of the stack as they tend to run hot and don't like being in the middle of the stack.

Usually all cabling is hidden in the wall. It helps that the vast majority of houses up here are timber framed, so plasterboard internal wall finish which is generally easy to thread cables behind out of sight. On the rare occasions I encounter a plastered brick wall, usually use surface mount mini trunking to bring the cables up (or sometimes down) to the tv

Last week I did a "corner" install, and in that case it was a bracket on a double arm that could fold flat to the wall or be pulled out and angled at 45 degrees and pushed back right into the corner. But the shelf remains in the same place even when the tv is pulled out.

Cable ties and a lot of patience is sometimes required to keep all the cables neat and out of sight.
