Two 65-inch Samsung Frame TVs in Santa Rosa

A Santa Rosa homeowner upgraded the Frame above the fireplace and kept the original 65-inch screen for the primary bedroom. Each room needed a different change behind the TV.

The original 65-inch Frame sat on a tilting bracket above the mantel. Seen from the side, the hardware left a gap behind the screen. We took down the older Frame, removed the tilting bracket and installed a flush Frame mount for the newer 65-inch model.

Moving the original Frame to the primary bedroom

The bedroom already had an older Samsung TV on a full-motion arm. We removed that TV and its arm to make room for the Frame from the living room.

The existing power and HDMI setup could not accommodate the Frame’s One Connect cable. We added a separate low-voltage cable route behind the wall, then mounted the Frame above the dresser. The side view shows how closely the bezel sits against the wall.
