I'm looking for a 40 inch tv to mount to a wall in my new apartment so ideally as slim as possible and the hdmi/power cables in a good spot to be routed down the hole which will be cut into the wall,

ideally a good viewing angle and visibility too! (lots of natural light will be in the apartment)

How do you plan to use the TV - i.e. what will the source(s) be? For me, ability to hang on a wall would be the very last factor I considered when buying a TV!

Pretty much any flat screen will mount on a wall particularly as plasma is not really an option any more.

Also, budget?

the problem is there's simply not a decent location to place the TV and the apartment isn't huge so it has to go on the wall - with the boxes etc in the other room.

the samsung 8000 series was nice and slim at 29mm and would barely protrude from the wall but it's been discontinued so I'm currently trying to seek out a replacement

It'll be located in the same spot as where the 'fancy seeing you here' frame is

Hi,

I had a TV mounting dilemma that I managed to sort with a pose able retractable mount. the drag is going to be with all that light you're going to want a pretty decent TV.

(great apartment by the way)

Whats you're budget for the entire job (if you don't mind me asking)

Are you going to be doing the chasing yourself?

you can get mounts that are extendable but folds to <35 mm against a wall.

Hello,
for the TV I'm fairly certain I want a Samsung UE40ES8000 (second hand/ex demo) due to it's slim profile (30mm deep) and for the bracket the accompanying slim samsung mount (35mm sounds alright though)

I've not really thought about budget but it's not too much of an issue.

I was going to pay someone to do the chasing, all hdmi cables etc will be routed to a different room along with IR relays.

Do you have pics of what you've done?

I can do even better.

the easy room is closest to what you'll be sort of doing. I used the old TV I had but that is going to be replaced in Jan for a Sony KDL50W829 (been getting good reviews and I'm not seeing enough content available on 4K to warrant a 4K unit)

I'm no expert but I'll certainly share what I've learned.

Cheers,

T1b

Are you going to mount it where the picture is? Some of the current TVs (especially Sonys) you need to be pretty much sitting straight on or the picture can distort a bit at an angle.

Where are the current TV points in the apartment.

If you are having to add new positions then if the apartment in finished you are going to struggle to get them in and routed to else where.

If they are at that location, do you know what cable types you have there? They may help in defining what you can and cant do.
