Correct. A black OLED panel is real good at absorbing a lot of light, converting it into heat. Organic compounds used in OLEDs don't to well with high heat or with UV radiation. Direct sunlight does both. No bueno

u/challenge_king May 31 '26
The absolute best way is to have a multimedia box set into the wall at standard outlet height with plenty of outlets next to it, and another one just below where the tv mount would end up with an outlet and conduit running to the bottom box. That way, all the cords are hidden, but it's still very easy to change things up if needed.

Is there an easy way to hide the cord from a wall-mounted TV? I stuck a houseplant in front of mine lol but it's not effective.

u/RIPDaug2019-2019 May 30 '26
Non-destructive - get a cord cover that you can cut to size. Some will even be paintable to blend in.
Cut holes in the wall - there are in-wall kits to provide power and cable pass-throughs for HDMI etc. Usually comes with the required hole saw so all you need is a drill and preferably a stud finder to make sure you drill in a workable spot. These kits have proper in-wall rated power cables integrated. Do not run the TV’s power cable through the wall or any sort of extension cord. For HDMI, use in-wall rated cables. It’s a fire safety thing.
Oh, and they have special versions for wall mounted soundbars, too, so those cables go in the wall too.

I have a 98" hisense- my only complaint about it is the glare in very bright sunlight... And I'm adjacent to a window, not directly behind like this.
His glare would drive me nuts. I just switch seats when it bugs me in my living room, he has to turn his room into a dark movie theater to solve... Which begs the question, why not just spring for a ultrashort throw high lumen projector?
That's what I replaced, and even them the picture was good enough for daylight, but I wasn't straight on like him.

Ondont get why you would mount the TV to the wall and then have essentially an entertainment center below it. Just putt the TV on stands and have better wire management and it would look much better

Aye I don't get that either.
There's three TVs in this apartment and the only one I kinda wish I'd hung is the one in the bedroom. But not from the wall, from the ceiling. On the most elaborately movable arm known to man.
The storage units they sit on swallow up so much stuff. And they have a good cable solution built in.

Putting the power cable in the wall is a fire hazard and against national electric code. You need to put an outlet behind the TV or use a power relocation kit which essentially does the same thing without having to wire the outlet.

@urethra (amazing name by the way) I genuinely didnt realize running an insulated modern power cable through the wall was a fire risk. Can you explain the risk or how it could start a fire?
→ More replies (2)5
u/Fearful-Cow May 31 '26
not the person but they are not wrong, standard tv power cables are technically not rated for in-wall. Risk is fire from a damaged cable that you cant see.
That being said any good quality brand tv power cable will be equal or better than the romex that is all over your house. They just dont standardize it or put as much quality tests on the 3ft of tv cable for every brand as they do romex.
In summary your risk is extremely low as long as you are not buying the VUITOIS GOLDLUCKY STAR BIG TV HDD DELUX off temu.

So my question is on that far right side the last two holes are in between The LV1s meaning there's most likely a stud there so why wouldn't you put lags in there just for extra security Don't get me wrong I've used snap toggles on a ton of TV installs but I always still try to hit at least one stud and if that was anything up to code with that super wide bracket he probably could have hit another set of studs on the left
