[Closed] Is hanging a flat panel TV on the wall "pleberian" (sic)?

oh, you're still here Fred... I did wonder who the ban bomb had been targeted at.

I always figured you'd be a fan of LLB but then I picture your flat as being like this 🙂

Just with more Lego and RC helicopters.

I'd like to break into Lawrence LooseSwelling Bowels' house, and do a Dirty Protest.

This is no place for sexual fantasies.

It's actually more like this:

No, seriously. Ask Bullheart.

does not in any way help with a big pile of Psychle's left behind bike stuffs cluttering up the place as well as all my toot, I can tell you.

We have a very modern glass extension on the back with a "feature" bright green wall. Most of the rest is white base and magnolia-ish. To be honest, it was like that when we moved in, and the fittings just cover the holes 😆 . We did paint the fireplace of our previous modern house a nice shade of green.

What it doesn't show is the projector screen mounted to the ceiling... Beamax remote 213cm. It's fantastic! ANd with high ceilings, you don't notice it when stowed.

EDIT: if you look closely at the previous shot top LEFT, you can just make out the hanging mains flex from the screen. It's not a big deal to be honest, and as I said. I'm not chasing Victorian brickwork, at least until we need a major decor update (probably never!)

@stevehine - TVs are ugly, I don't want to make a feature of mine, that's why it's low down and there's a decent feature in the room...tv blends-in-ish to wall colour, centre speaker is dark too...all the opposite of yours..why don't you like mine then?

Sorry, got to agree with stevehine on this one, it overlaps the fireplace and is so low down it looks like you couldn't figure out where to put it so just threw it in down in the corner. Added to that, it overlaps the fireplace when put away, which means neither ever look pretty. I thought for a minute you were going to surprise me with a wonder of modern bracketry and TV placement, alas I'm stuck with what looks like a caravan space saver solution 🙂

The best fight scene from 2.58 onwards..(and better than almost every movie ever) IMO

Centre/focal point of a room for me are pictures/photos

I thought it was the life-size gold statue of me naked, other than for a gas mask! What have you done with it? Thats a conceptual piece. If that's out in the garden sunshine, there's going to be trouble!

binners I have built a Sistine chapel tribute to you on my bedroom ceiling.

Telly isn't a valuable aspect of life though, it's more like visual morphine designed to dull the wits and pass the time quicker in the evenings so you don't have to talk with your family

Some of it is, and some people treat it that way.

Some of it however is excellent and fun.

The less tv I watch the happier I am...this correlates with:

the more cooking/exercise/reading/internet surfing I do.

For those who have mounted their TV on the wall and routed cables under the plaster, what cables have you put in place?

I am having an extension built and want to take advantage of the opportunity to put cables in place.

I'm planning to have Sky box, Xbox, Wii and a media player of some sort (or maybe just stick with the Xbox) in a cupboard/separate room and want to make sure the installation is fairly future-proof.

I'm thinking that I should run a satellite co-ax, HDMI,2xCat5 or 6 cables and IR relay through the conduit. Any suggestions or anything I've missed?

For those who have mounted their TV on the wall and routed cables under the plaster, what cables have you put in place?

2 power sockets, 3 hdmi, TV antenna and 2 scarts. Somehow jammed into a sunken 25mm conduit.

I cheated - it's on a stud wall; so there's a whopping big void you can get your hand in and run whatever cables you fancy 🙂

Like us now. We unplugged the aerial and shoved under the floor.

Use the laptop for catchup and series/borrowed dvd's from Al.

This is from a man who used to install home cinemas up to about £100k

Gone from loving it to hating it.

Seeing as we are showing our tv's - here's my set-up.

Quite meagre in comparison to some and I have no way of positioning my speakers correctly (i.e. spaced far enough apart), which is another shout for wall mounting.
