The Mounting Man recently completed another cabinet TV installation in Edina, this time mounting a 55-inch TV inside a beautiful built-in entertainment center. These custom cabinetry installations are one of our most requested services, and while every homeowner thinks their situation is unique, we've perfected the art of making modern TVs work in spaces that weren't originally designed for them.
Built-in entertainment centers and custom cabinetry were often constructed when TVs were smaller and bulkier. Now that flat-panel TVs are larger, thinner, and more affordable than ever, homeowners want to upgrade—but the cabinet dimensions haven't changed. This creates an interesting challenge that requires the right mounting solution.
In this Edina installation, the homeowners wanted their 55-inch TV to fit neatly within the cabinet opening while still having flexibility for optimal viewing angles. The solution? A long-extension full-motion bracket with a 42-inch extension arm.
A standard fixed or tilting mount would leave the TV recessed in the cabinet, limiting viewing angles and making the screen harder to see from different seating positions. With a full-motion bracket featuring extended reach, homeowners can pull the TV completely out of the cabinet and angle it toward their preferred viewing spot.
This is especially valuable in open-concept living spaces where the seating arrangement doesn't directly face the entertainment center. Pull the TV out, angle it toward the couch, and enjoy. When you're done, tuck it back into the cabinet for a clean, integrated look.
While this particular installation featured a TV sized to fit the cabinet opening, we frequently work with homeowners who want a TV larger than their cabinet space allows. In those cases, we have several options: mounting the TV in front of the cabinet opening so it overlaps the frame, removing shelving to create more vertical space, or in some cases, recommending cabinetry modifications.
The key is finding the right balance between screen size and room aesthetics. Our experience with hundreds of these installations means we can guide you toward the best solution for your specific situation.
Edina homes are known for their quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. The custom built-ins we encounter here reflect that commitment to design. Our job is to integrate modern technology without compromising the aesthetic that makes these homes special. That means clean cable management, secure mounting, and hardware that disappears when the TV is in its resting position.
