Setting up my new cozy living room space with the 85" Frame TV!

After moving into my new place, I've had my hands full with a ton of home improvement & DIY projects which have been exhausting but fun to do. One of the most recent ones was a project that involved setting up my new cozy living room with an 85" Frame TV!

You’re a GOAT for instructing the buildings to add a cable pass to the wall.

[@Mr21scott]

Wow, that room looks amazing. Thanks for sharing all the tips. One thing is bothering me though: on your Apple TV+, it works better if format is set to 4K SDR, NOT the higher levels, and also Match Content should be set to ON for both range and frame rate. This way it will always send the appropriate level signal to the TV. (It does seem counterintuitive to set it to SDR, but it's not).

[@primelectro]

The light behind the plant turned out so good. Congrats on the awesome place.

[@techbymidas]

Thanks so much!

[@Sickwitit18]

Can you tell me what light you used? I love your setup!

Beautiful ❤ The only thing i would change is the TV height. Your eyes when setting and the middle of the TV should be the same height. I have a 83” TV and i want to upgrade to a 97”. I set 10 feet away so it would be perfect.

I was searching around online for 85" frame tv, to learn if it would be too big. But its not - especially since you have a decluttered, clean space. I think we need to go big on the TV. Thanks for helping me decide = )

[@classical_11]

i love the layout of the furniture, they give such comfy feeling even through my monitor

[@MSDOGS1976]

Looks great. Everyone says it’s too high but looks fine to me. My tv is on a credenza and the bottom of the tv is about level with the top of my head. I sit about 7 ft from it and I’m not having to tilt my head up. Easy viewing. But whatever Floats your boat.

[@anthonykimani1983]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I love how it turned out. Looks cozy and inviting. A few things I’d adjust for my own personal preferences: 1. I’d turn the wall the TV is mounted on into an accent wall by either painting it a darker or warmer colour or maybe even adding slat wood wall panels. 2. You need sound. Either add a sound bar on top of the console, or, if you feel that might take away from the Frame TV vibe, get a Sony HT-A9 or HTA9M2, which don’t have sound bars. 3. I agree with the height comments. I’d center the TV both vertically and horizontally, which would bring it closer to eye level while still looking like a picture frame. Again, these are just my personal preferences but still love what you’ve done with the place.

[@kbhasi]

I agree, as someone else in my family has an 85" Frame, and he paired his with a white Samsung sound bar I can't remember the model number of.

[@Pookie1228]

Perfect!! I knew if I waited long enough I would see a look that would be perfect for my 644sqft apartment. Thank you and bless you!!!

[@ennieade2949]

Lovely living room space setback. Brilliant idea with the built in cable pass.

[@simphiwehlophe9465]

This was beautiful now the only thing missing is a sound bar to enhance the tv audio

[@gabrielhues]

Great video,the 85” frame tv is insane! You did a great job with space. The light behind plant is genius. As for comments on tv height, 100% how You feel about Your space is most important. I think 2 things can be true, you’re happy with your space and there Are some universally held design principles. TVs like art should be grounded by the piece under it,leaving a lot of negative space crates an awkward gap, so it’s less that your tv is super high but more the gap, also the console itself isn’t long enough,having space either side also grounds and balances the tv in the space. It’s all balance

[@welikefly]

on 85” 🤣🤣🤣 Are you watching 1080

[@annpiccolo6980]

The tv stand should be 6 “ wider than your tv. If you can’t find one wide enough. Just put two exactly the same together. It looks great.

[@sdaniel6027]

@@annpiccolo6980 Agree 💯% . It will help it to look balanced. If he can find one or two pieces that span the length of the wall that will be even better. It will give it a built in look and feel.

[@dadrianca]

It looks awesome bro! Well done, the cable pass is essential, we always try to add that in when building houses for clients in the living room. I recently added a plant to my living room and also put the floor lamp pro behind it, looks so good!

[@techbymidas]

Thanks my man! The cable pass through was super important to get in here since I had to do all that after the fact at my old place. Also agree with you on the floor lamp pro adding a nice ambiance behind plants :)

[@warrenroberts1912]

just a quick design feature. Get a bigget consule. TVs being larger than the console is not a good design.

[@joymunyi7843]

Ist thing I noticed too.

[@techbymidas]

Don’t worry it’s only temporary. I plan on replacing it with something interesting soon :)

[@TomKrus-o1r]

Tv is too high

[@BarcelonasHotCrowd]

Awesome that you have the Apple TV 4k. It's incredible! Great for playing all of your content from your MacBook Pro too using the Computers app! :) Not keen on the height of the TV though as from a sofa, it's more comfortable to place it line of sight. Looking up really causes a stiff neck - just try sitting on the front row of a cinema and you'll know what I mean :)

[@ErrrahTech]

When talking about this new couch from C&B, you referenced it being more comfortable than your prior couch, wasn't your prior couch Dresden from Rove Concepts, its one of my favorite designs but if its not comfortable I might need to look elsewhere.

[@alphaj9]

Really clean setup 👍🏾

[@techbymidas]

Thank you! 🤗

[@sprroach44]

Good Look! Instead of cords add a wireless charger pad or table with charger pad built in.

[@FunnyTummyART]

Why didn't you mount it eye level, you're literally looking up at the TV? Great looking living room

[@TyDaSpace]

It's an 85" so lots of visual real estate. It's also suppose to be like a decor painting so you want it somewhere between the height of your other paintings. I tried it out and it was pretty dope.

[@stevewright1539]

@@FunnyTummyART I made this mistake as well when mounting a TV. It’s a do it once and never do it again mistake. It’s not egregious but even 6 inches would make a big difference.

[@UmairAli-wc3xq]

@@TyDaSpace visual real estate has nothing to do with eye level

[@TyDaSpace]

@@UmairAli-wc3xq If you say so. This type TV is for casual viewing not for couch potato. If you are worried about eye level comfort then get a different tv and mount at eye level. Try mounting your picture frame at eye level and see how stupid it looks.

A poltrona de frente para o sofá era a minha ideia para a the frame. Com ela dá pra fazer uma sala para visitas com sala de tv oculta ou reversível. No meu caso aquela poltrona de frente para o sofá colocarei giratória caso a visita queria ver tv, gira e posiciona melhor a poltrona, genial.
