@@DreamediaInstalls I was wearing eye protection but still got some in my eyes a few times and the glasses started to steam up on me a couple times as well. I'm not sure how you guys work in that Texas heat.
Completely late to the party, but I do this for a living so I figured I'd share. We'd drill into the mortar in between the bricks and install our anchors and lags there. The mount would just attach to that! No in-wall wiring though. Unless you hired a 3rd party contractor that can take apart and rebuild a fireplace.
@@bobbyschopp1775 Hey Bobby! 7 months later now but say your bricks were covered in plaster and you can’t see the bricks and mortar? Is it safe to drill into either one?
wow 4 years ago and still being watched. probably will be more as prices of those mantle mount pull downs come down. Aways great videos and than you for that. All the mm700 videos are in studs. haven't seen a mm700 over a solid brick fireplace video. My question for a solid wood burning fire place is, "in your opinion" not a binding contract and you are not liable for my work...etc a. is it ok to mount it directly to the brick wood burning fireplace?, screwed to actual brick of course not motor. BTW this is real hard fired brick, not Crick b. should i use tapcons into the brick or concrete anchors?
When you run Romex wires inside walls that have a fireplace, even though you stretched it to be 100% safe from it touching the fireplace, don't you need any kind of conduit protection because of the excess heat?
Does that mount strip get the TV closest to the wall than the one that has a plate and swivels? Or are they both equally the same distance from TV to wall? I want mine as flush as possible. Which one do I buy?
Is it a good idea to do that . Wouldn’t the tv get damage by the heat . Just bought a house that has a fireplace . I was wondering if it’s possible install a tv above a fire .
Completely safe! It's only ever a concern if it's wood burning. But even then, the recommendation is around 10-12 inches from the opening of the fireplace. A mantle will also help protect the tv.
@@mikenice1204 There are devices from companies like MantleMount that allow you to bring the TV forward and down (around a foot to 16 inches) to address that exact issue. They start around $375 and for the manual ones and can get much more expensive for the motorized ones. Unfortunately, most people don't install those though and end up with neck strain from having a TV on the wall that is mounted WAY too high up. Getting mounted over the fireplace is probably the most common way for this mistake to be made in homes today. Of course, very few people ever actually think about that until AFTER their new TV is installed. Generally speaking, putting a TV up over a fireplace really is a bad idea, at a couple of different levels. But, people keep insisting on doing it, of course.
What about heat damage to the television since there is not much clearance from the ends of the mantle? Does it need to have a certain amount of clearance
It's really only an issue on wood burning fireplaces but the recommendation is about 10-12 inches away from the opening of the fireplace. A mantle can also help with protecting the tv
TV's over the fireplace is one of the worst ideas ever. I understand if you don't have any other place to put it but please for the love of Pete! put the TV on a blank wall if you can. I hate looking at TV's up that high.
@@CHBee619 they charged $170 to mount the tv. But it wasn’t worth it. I had hire someone to redo the entire progress cuz my tv was going to fall off the wall.
@@CHBee619 Please find a professional to do the job for you, cos these folks on social media don't know the fell they are doing and they are trying to make quick buck. trust me. Good Luck!
Lol. Get you a cheap $6 HDMI from Walmart, and use it to connect your PS5 or Xbox Series X into your new 120hz 4k TV. Then in the game console settings go to your video output menu and tell me what all options are available. Several will be unavailable due to bandwidth limitations of the cable. The ones at Walmart are typically HDMI 2.0 18Gbps. You need HDMI 2.1 48Gbps for 4k@120hz, 8k@60hz. Most people don't NEED HDMI 2.1 cables at this time but there is most certainly a difference between good cables and cheap ones.
I just cut 4 holes in my ceiling for atmos speakers and you guys gave me the idea to put blankets down first. So much drywall dust!!!
its the worst when it gets in your eyes

🤦🏽♂️
I'd really love to see how you do this on a solid brick fireplace. UK chimney's aren't made like this at all!
You don't
Yer same i want to mount mine on the fireplace as we never use the fire so it would be fine
You just need to hammer and chisel pal and channel out the section you need and it’s just a plaster back over

Where do you service? Great work!
Where can I found those outlet covers that has the extension cable port?
How much for that installation?
Thanks for posting
I would have used shielded cable or used some protective ducting.

Do you have to get special fire rated HDMI cable since it's above fireplace or can you put regular HDMI cable in the wall?

Flat panel mount would be your best bet.
Samsung makes their Frame display which is the slimmest I’ve seen so far.
The plug was installed upside down and the mantle looks crooked now. Besides that, good job.
If you have an open fire that u use can u hang ap tv above it or will it damage it even with a heat guard/ hood fitted
Do you have two wires passing through?
Wow! You guys are really good! Thanks for the advice! 😊
Wont the wires melt?
very gorgeous!
Where did you get that cordless drywall saw?
Search 'pad saw'
do you need to get permits to do this?
how is the power passed to the tv?
Romex
How much does this cost to hire someone to do this?
Does it still work ?

What about the flue?
the owners might happy first, but am sure they have changed it already because of the neck pain, THAT IS SO HIGH, for a small room.
they make adjustable mounts so you can lower and tilt the tv to avoid neck strain

TVs should NEVER be mounted about a fire place
Tv is straight, the mantle is off...correct with decorations....lol
Yall using a really cheap mount for it being a 75 in tv
Tv is too big for that size fireplace should be around 12 inches on each side, do prolly a 55 inch tv would be better fit
Great video... but Please turn background music off. Thanks :)
Sony!!!??!
I guess they don’t answer

The worst possible location for a TV. I guess the ceiling would be worse, so let’s call above the fireplace the second worse place for a TV.
Worst location… poor necks
Completely agreed. I'm constantly advising people NOT to do that, but they almost never listen.
Recently had a these guys I found on face book come mount a 75inch in my living room. They did a terrible job. So disappointed!
How much is the cost on something like that?

Next time cut the music.
All HDMI’s are the same. You probably paid a high price when you could’ve got some $6 ones from Walmart
anyone trying to use an HDMI 2.1 port would disagree
All HDMI cables are not equal. Many gamers need HDMI 2.1
Google it

Mounting a TV over a fireplace is lowclass tacky.
