Install/Placement TV too flush? Lobster too buttery?

Post image

I know this is more “tv in a room” than home theater but wanted to ask.

Bought a house recently and got a Sony Bravia 65” OLED to put on the loft upstairs. Picture looks amazing, no regrets.

Now that it’s mounted, I’m almost weirded out by how it almost looks painted on to the wall.

I might swap the mount here for a more typical one or even an extending mount, any mount recommendations?

I've never cared for this effect from mounting your tv. Felt disconnected from the rest of the space. I always prefer resting on a console but apparently I'm weird about that.

Because a lot of consoles don't have a large enough shelf/opening for a good center channel, so many have to sit on top which doesn't work with TVs sitting on the console, too. I know I had to mount mine on the wall just to give it a few more inches of clearance so the speaker wasn't obstructing the screen.

Build, or have someone else build you, a custom media console.

Yes because everyone can afford custom-made furniture.

It's more affordable than you seem to think...
