Minimalist TV Cable Management Tutorial - How to hide TV wires without cutting holes in your wall!!

[@Castalex1992]

finally someone without drilling holes, thank you from germany.

[@Myxo14]

Thanks man! I've only been to Germany once, but it's definitely one of my favorite countries to visit. I'm looking forward to visiting again someday!

[@ernesto7133]

Good video How did you solve the cables when moving the tv arm? How would you leave some extra cable so that when I move the tv arm it has enough cable to take of but without seeing it? With cable management?

[@StephenONeil2]

Wondering this too

[@Myxo14]

I rest the extra cable slack on the mount. Some mounts come with cable management. This one didn't, but it was straight forward to rest the cables on the 'pivot arm'. Hope that makes sense.

Thank you! You saved the remodeling of my room... now my bedroom looks beautiful and how I envisioned it!!! 😘😘😘😊

[@LaChocolatScorpio]

OMG UR SO SMART!...I’m definitely doing this....I’ve been avoiding hanging my tv just because I didn’t want to cut my walls!

[@zoidmo3388]

Neat, tidy and quite creative. Use of corners to view mounted TV could be problematic but you nailed it. Well done.

[@egsrhatchnick]

Great video. Thanks. I’m digging the light behind the TV. That’s a cool touch.

[@tatitorodriguez376]

great solution,..im very ocd about cable management,....at first i thought the box was a sub-woofer until you mentioned it was a box,..good stuff.

Lol I just realized there is a sub woofer in my garage because my son tries to pretend he's not stashing his crap there by putting it up above my reach. I'm going to surprise him by putting my new cord control system in it 😂

Thank you so much for responding... I have similar mounting bracket. I will def order the raceway to hide my cords. Thanks for your advice about the slack. Your video is the best I’ve come across.

[@Murfdigidy]

Awesome cheap job, even the mount you used was only like 40 bucks (some run 100+), good work and idea

[@bandookay7311]

Only legends heart comments after 3 YEARS. Nice video btw liked the box idea :)

[@Myxo14]

🙌🏾 I painted my bedroom yesterday, so I took everything down. I'm happy to report the raceway did not damage my wall when I peeled it off and the box solution looked good as new - no heat damage as some folks suggested. I'll be putting everything back up today. I'll probably take some pics for instagram. I think I mentioned in this video that I was moving - that didn't happen being I got married instead - then the pandemic happened. Hopefully 2022 will be the year!

[@padredad]

Looks great and really well thought out. The corner mounted track is out of the line of sight. It would have been very obvious had the track been ran up the wall centered on the television.

[@ccff6161]

put legs on the box, then you hide the sockets as well.

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

Nice job M. . I don't understand why you can't find outlets whether they're rca / coaxial / power that aren't at some other than 90º out of the wall. So tired of plugging stuff in and it sticks out 3" from the wall surface. Need stuff pointed 45º left or right ... or down so that there's no need for funky cords or adapters. That and for cable .... every cable guy that has come out over the years complains about those 90º cable adapters.

@@Myxo14 You are welcome, any idea how install a Bose sound bar to this tv wall mount? I'm googling it and think I might have to go to Bose website

[@Myxo14]

A universal sound bar mounting bracket should work - there are plenty to choose from on Amazon. The bracket will attach to the back of the tv mount and the sound bar will fit under the TV.

[@ironbutterfly6908]

@@Myxo14 Hi again, yes, the thing is, there is no holes on the sound bar so it would have sit on a shelf like bracket.

Did you have to get any replacement hdmi cords or anything that may not have been long enough to reach ? I know you had to get a longer extension cord for something but I was wondering about any other cords

[@Myxo14]

I had to get an extension cord for the TV power cable, but I think I had a HDMI cable already on hand that was long enough. I'm using a 6.6 ft cable (I think), but use whatever length works for your space.

Can you still swing out ur tv in dif directions with cords in the raceway... I’m trying to find way to hide cords and swing tv to view in 2 room areas. Thanks great video. Nice and minimal 👍🏻

[@Myxo14]

Yes, I'm able to move the TV so I can access the back panel. You just need to leave enough slack for the cables coming out of the top of the raceway. I wrap the slack around the TV mounting arm.

Hello Myxo14! What a perfect and awesome review! May we post this on our FB page? Hear from you shortly. Thank you!

[@maralghawsi6239]

Looks great, but what happens when you move and want to unplug the TV or just change the TV, do you have to rip the cable cover off the wall? Presumably that peals the paint off the wall as well? They should really make cable covers with opening on the side so you leave the piece intact on the wall but able to take the wires out without any damage.

hi

[@elledash2839]

Great setup but I can’t help but think this is a fire hazard. I’d be extremely nervous having my cable box in a box while in use

[@Myxo14]

+Elle Dash Yeah, I was concerned about that as well. I monitored the heat from the cable box for the first week, and the bottom of the box was warm at most. My cable box is small and low powered, so it's not much of a concern. If I had a full sized receiver or something high powered, I'd probably line the box with something heat retardant.

What happens when you move or adjust your tv via the mount?

You leave enough slack in the cable so you can move the tv with the motion of the mount.

How big is your tv

[@Myxo14]

+Harrison Gardner The tv is 40 inches. The mount is rated up to 55 inches.

[@ReallyHarrison]

Myxo14 oh ok I have a reassembly small bedroom and I want a tv near my desk which I will sit close to it also watch from my bed and I was wondering what size I should go for a 32inch as I'm sitting about a meter away or a bigger 40inch

[@Myxo14]

+Harrison Gardner My bedroom is small as well...filming different angles was pretty tough for this video (with the bed in the way). Your dilemma is a tough call. I originally had a 32 inch, but found it too small to watch from my bed, so I returned it and bought the 40. I find the 40 perfect. I think a 40 inch would be too big for sitting a meter away, but viewing from your bed, I think you'll be happier with the 40.

[@ReallyHarrison]

Myxo14 thanks
