Northwest Hills is one of west Austin’s most sought-after established neighborhoods — a hilly, tree-covered community of quality homes along Loop 360 and Far West Boulevard, known for its excellent schools, mature oaks, and the kind of well-appointed living rooms that call for a serious audio-visual setup. The homes here are spacious and thoughtfully finished, with tile fireplaces that anchor the main living area and built-in cabinetry that gives the room its structure. When a Northwest Hills homeowner reached out to Bat City TV looking for a Samsung Frame TV, they wanted the complete experience — display purchased from an authorized dealer, mounted above the tile fireplace, and every cable routed completely out of sight into the built-in cabinet to the left of the firebox. One call, one visit, done exactly right.

The install was a 75-inch Samsung Frame TV sold directly through Bat City TV, delivered to the Northwest Hills home, and installed above a tile fireplace with all wiring routed completely through the wall and into the built-in cabinet to the left of the fireplace. Routing cables into a cabinet rather than terminating them at a wall plate behind the TV is a more involved run — it requires fishing cable through the wall cavity horizontally to reach the cabinet interior, then finishing both ends cleanly so the cabinet houses the One Connect box and any source devices with no visible cables anywhere on the wall surface. We mounted the Frame TV on Samsung’s No-Gap Wall Mount for the flush-to-wall gallery effect, assessed the tile fireplace heat output to confirm the mounting height, and completed the full cable run into the cabinet before powering everything up. The result was a Northwest Hills fireplace wall with a 75-inch Frame TV that looked painted on — and a cabinet that neatly housed every component out of sight.

Routing cables into an adjacent cabinet is one of the cleanest possible solutions for a fireplace TV installation — it keeps the wall surface completely bare, eliminates the need for visible wall plates behind the TV, and gives the homeowner a dedicated hub for all source devices and the Samsung One Connect box. The cable run requires accurate measurement of the horizontal distance from the TV position to the cabinet opening, a flexible fish tape or rod to navigate any blocking inside the wall cavity, and clean terminations at both ends so the cabinet interior stays organized. Tile fireplace surrounds also require specific anchor hardware — tile over drywall or cement board needs the right bit and anchor to hold securely without cracking the tile surface. We assessed the full installation before a single hole was drilled and executed every step of the run cleanly on the first pass.
