Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Carefully Choose the Location.Nowadays, it became more and more popular to put the TV over a fireplace. For unknown reasons some people think the idea is brilliant. Actually, it is not and here is why-fire and electronics are not a good couple. The smoke of burning wood creates dirt and that dirt builds up on to the components of a TV. The fact that you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it is not there(you can smell it). In addition, most electronics operate best at lower temperatures. Not to mention the fact some materials are temperature-sensitive which means they tend to degrade quickly. In general, producing higher than normal heat is not a smart choice. The TV already generates plenty of it. The best possibility is, to reduce the TV’s lifespan and the worst-causing an unexpected extremely dangerous accident.
What is more, placing the TV above the eye level may cause you a stiff neck. To conclude, it is not even cute or stylish. So don’t do that. I hope I managed to persuade you not to do this mistake.
Step 2
Hide the Cords in the Wall.A tangle of exposed wires can easily and quickly ruin the pleasant look of a TV. Luckily, a simple and cheap solution exist. An IWPE(in-wall power extension) or power bridge kit will be needed in order to complete that task.
