This Bloomington installation presented a classic challenge: how to mount a 65-inch TV directly above a modern fireplace without compromising either the aesthetics or the installation's durability. The homeowner's fireplace surround was finished drywall, which meant I couldn't rely on studs to anchor the TV. I found solid backing within the wall structure and used a combination of lag bolts into that backing with additional support to distribute the weight properly across the drywall surface. The tilt bracket gives the family flexibility to adjust the viewing angle, which is essential when a fireplace occupies that wall real estate.
What impressed me most about this job was the finished aesthetic. The TV sits cleanly above the fireplace with just the tilt bracket visible—no cable clutter, no visible hardware mess. The bracket itself is low-profile, so it doesn't distract from the sleek modern fireplace design. The living room now has a fully integrated entertainment and focal point, and the family can enjoy both the warmth of the fireplace and their favorite content without compromise.
