Westover Hills is one of Austin’s quietly established affluent enclaves — the wooded community of custom homes west of MoPac and just north of Northwest Hills, where mature oaks, large lots, and longtime residents have made it one of the most desirable and lowest-turnover corners of the city for decades. The homes here were built with primary living rooms sized for entertaining, with the vaulted ceilings and open walls that genuinely call for an architectural-scale display. So when a Westover Hills homeowner reached out about installing an 85″ Samsung Frame TV with a matching soundbar and every cable hidden inside the wall, we knew this was the flagship-tier install profile the Frame lineup was designed to deliver at its best.
The 85″ Frame is the largest size Samsung makes the Frame in — nearly 7 feet wide, roughly 90 pounds, and genuinely architectural in scale. We anchored the included Slim Fit Wall Mount across multiple studs to safely distribute the cantilevered weight, carefully lifted the TV into place with the right crew, and set it perfectly flush against the wall across the full 7-foot width so it sits nearly flat against the drywall the way Samsung designed the Frame to look. A matching soundbar was mounted directly below with exact spacing and a level laser line. The One Connect cable was routed through the wall to a code-compliant outlet relocated behind the TV via a UL-listed in-wall power transfer kit, and the soundbar HDMI eARC cable was run through the wall via low-voltage pass-through plates down to the equipment location. The finished wall showed only the 7-foot piece of framed art and the soundbar below — zero visible cables, zero visible outlets, zero visible anything except the TV and the audio.
An 85″ Frame with soundbar and full in-wall wiring is one of the most demanding residential AV installs we do, and every element compounds. The 85″ Frame at 90 pounds requires multi-stud anchoring (no single stud can safely carry that cantilevered weight at flagship scale) and a multi-person lift with the right crew. The Slim Fit Wall Mount has to be installed perfectly flush across the entire 7-foot width so the TV sits nearly flat against the wall without any visible gap. The One Connect cable — Samsung’s single-cable system that routes all TV inputs to a remote One Connect Box — has to be run inside the wall, not draped across the room, for the install to read as art rather than as a TV. Power for an 85″ TV inside a wall is legally impossible with a standard cord (standard TV cords aren’t rated for in-wall use, which is both a code violation and a real fire risk), so a UL-listed in-wall power transfer kit is required to bring a code-compliant outlet behind the TV. The soundbar cable runs through the wall via low-voltage pass-through plates. Every one of these details has to be right for the finished install to look the way the homeowner imagined when they bought the Frame. Skip any of them and you have an 85″ Frame that looks like an expensive TV with visible wires — the exact opposite of what the Frame was designed for.
