Round Rock sits just north of Austin along I-35, and anyone who has spent a weekend here knows it for Dell Diamond and the Round Rock Express, Old Settlers Park, and a historic downtown that has grown into a full city of its own. Homes in the area run from established neighborhoods with a few decades behind them to newer subdivisions on the edge of town, and that mix matters for tv mounting round rock tx jobs, because every wall and every room is a little different. You can see our earlier work in town in this Samsung Terrace outdoor install on a brick patio wall in Round Rock. So when a Round Rock homeowner reached out about getting a 55″ Samsung TV on the wall with the cords hidden, we knew what they were after: a clean, finished look with nothing hanging down the wall.
Here is the job. The TV is a 55″ Samsung, and the customer already had it, so this was an installation and not a sale. Our technician mounted it on a Sanus advanced tilt mount, which lets the screen angle down slightly. Cord concealment was done inside the wall with a power relocation kit, which is Option 1 on our concealment menu. A relocation kit puts a recessed receptacle behind the TV and a second one down low where an ordinary outlet would sit, with in-wall rated wiring connecting the two. The TV plugs in behind itself, the cord disappears, and the wall looks like nobody touched it. Finished install: a 55″ Samsung on a Sanus tilt mount with the power concealed inside the wall.
The photo above shows the result. The TV sits flat against a painted wall with a clean run of wall below it. A power cord running down the face of the wall is the first thing your eye lands on after the TV itself, and it never stops being visible. Taking it inside the wall adds work on the day, and it is the difference between a TV that is hung and a TV that looks built in.
If you are deciding what kind of mount to buy, here is the plain comparison. A fixed mount holds the TV closest to the wall and is the right call when the TV hangs at eye level and the viewer sits straight on. A tilt mount, like the Sanus used here, adds a downward angle, which helps when the TV has to go higher than you would like. A full-motion mount swings out and turns, which suits a TV in a corner or one that has to be seen from two spots. The tradeoff is that the more a mount can move, the farther it sits from the wall. For a TV on a flat wall viewed from one area, a tilt mount is usually plenty, and our technicians will tell you which one they would choose when they see the room.
Cord concealment has the same kind of tradeoff. Standard TV power cords are not rated to run inside a wall, which is why a relocation kit exists: it uses wiring made for the job and keeps the connections in proper receptacles. The other approaches are an external concealment channel on the wall surface and a recessed outlet swap. We lay out the options when we quote the job.
