2nd tv for the poker room?

 

[joseywales]

I wasn't looking. Went to BestBuy yesterday and saw the Samsung 6270 55", 4K, UHD. $479, a thin mount, and 6 hours later, and it's in my gameroom.

Great picture.

Now the downside, it's been almost 24 hours of Gilmore Girls... My wife and daughters like my TV so much they've been in my room all weekend. Maybe this 50" would be nice for the familryoom...

Let me know what you think, when you get it set up.

Liftapint, I'm no expert, don't game, etc. Atypical for me, I did zero research and wasn't planning on a TV. We'll see what Tommy says, but if I had another room for it, I'd have bought a second one. In fact, BB is right up the road, so I went back later in the day. They were more crowded and all of the 6270s were long gone. They had already replaced the entire display with another TV.

Easy setup, great picture. I sit eyes about 140" away and I mounted it top of screen 61" from the floor. Couldn't be happier. I almost could go 60", but it might be too big for the wall it's on.

The only PITA about it is connecting HMDI cables, etc., once it's mounted. I like the simple mount I bought and after being mounted, I can lift the TV away from the wall and access the ports. However, the ports are not I the side of the TV, rather they are recessed. So getting the angle right and plugging cable in was a pain. I'll leave the cables in now and used a simple organizer to clean up the look.

Will do. One is an xmas gift for my parents. I plan to give it to them this week so I can setup it up and make sure there is nothing wrong with it before the return period expires. The 2nd one I bought just because it was a great deal but don't have a place for it yet. Could be a second TV for the man cave or I might swap out the 32" Sammy I have upstairs.

When I hung my 70" in the basement, I connected the cables to the TV first, hung it, then pulled the excess back into the wall. My mount does tilt but the ports being recessed makes it difficult.

Tommy, that looks great. I almost went 60". My room is large enough for more, but the wall it's on, with the decor, etc., looks better with the 55". I hope I don't regret leaving the 5" on the sales floor...

I bought a heavy-duty full-motion wall mount from Monoprice a TV or two ago for just under $100, and haven't regretted it. Installed it in more than one apartment. I get asked about it a lot when people see it, so I'm providing a couple of pics.

Here's the TV in "normal" mode, back against the wall:

When watching movies, I pull it out in line with the speakers:

When using it for a tournament clock, I swivel it to be seen from the poker-table side of the room:

And here it is, turned the other way, so you can see the mount and the wall column I installed behind it:

The column is made of two 2x4s sandwiched between two sheets of 3/4" plywood, 2 feet wide and 4 feet tall, painted up the same as the wall.

The back sheet was glued and screwed to the 2x4s - the 2x4s are tall enough to stand on the floor while the plywood is flat on the wall (the bottoms are notched to fit over the floor moldings .) Then back sheet was screwed to the wall into studs over a broad area - the only damage to the wall is screw holes, easily patched. Then the front piece of plywood was screwed to the 2x4s. A little work, but the end result is that I can attache the TV mount really securely, I can run the cables down inside the column, and when I eventually move and take it down, the only damage to the wall is a couple of screw holes.

Close-up of the mount attaching to the column:

Top of the column:

And the view from down bottom - this is not visible when standing in the room, so I wasn't careful with the paint job.

Yes, it took a little bit of work, but it looks good, is super-stable, and is really functional. (And people love it.)

I've used this monitor mount directly on drywall before, but the TV always felt less stable (TVs that were smaller and lighter), and I was left with a lot of holes in the wall to patch, including knocking out anchors, and the holes I made for running all the cables (and if you make a hole to put the cable in at the top, that means another hole at the bottom to come back out of the wall). I'm good with patching and painting, but it's extra work I don't want to have to do when moving out any more.

Oh, and when you pull out the TV, there's lots of space to get at the cables whenever necessary. Reading about that (and having that frustration before this mount) is was prompted my photo-flurry.

MentalNomad, that is a nice mount. I have a few TVs on mounts and they worked out nicely.

Got it setup for my parents today. The picture is great.

Nice setup. I had that Pac Man system back in the 80s as a kid!, takes me back...

 

[joseywales]

Thanks. Yeah. That came from a failed purchase of beer sconce lights. The lights were in bad shape, but I thought he game was pretty cool. It works and the kids like it. I have a Merlin handheld as well. After posting some pictures, I went nuts and redecorated the room. Looks similar, but it's a cleaner look, ore open, and I added some bar items I had yet to hang. I'll have to get some pics up later.
