Have a customer that is wanting to have an 85" Frame TV above his fireplace. He wants to have the One Connect behind the TV. What backbox/enclosure and mount would you recommend for this application?

If you buy a StrongBox from Snap, you'll need the 20" version because the stupid One Connect box won't fit in the 14". They could have made this so much easier by making the One Connect shorter and wider, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, they had to give us this crap.

Snap also has a plastic 14” box that will fit. The steel box has a lip that reduces the size of the opening, while the plastic box does not. It may take four guys to wrestle that above a mantle, so bring lots of help! A 75” I did was a pretty good fight.

Future Automation for the mount. Probably a PS55 or the next size up, with the bar kit. They're a bit pricey as far as mounts go, but it absolutely makes moving the TV around a non-issue.
Just went through this with a 75" Samsung Terrace TV with the speaker bar, which is a pretty porky combo. The Samsung companion mount is a weird piece, and I didn't see any way to adjust it to keep it from sagging. And even if I could, it didn't pull out far enough to get to the stuff behind the TV, which was mounted up high. We swapped in the Future Automation mount and it looked awesome and made service super easy.

We just have the builder make a recess that is 4/6" deep and is about 4" smaller than the TV dimensions. Use any articulating mount you want and this allows for the TV to sit tight against the wall to create the picture frame look when not in use.

So do they have special Canadian tape measures to do 4/6”? My old U.S. of A. models don’t have that. I have seen 1/2”, 3/4”, etc, but never 4/6”. 😉

Have you done this with a 75 or 85 inch frame? Have done it with a couple 65" Frames. Also have done larger TV's where the owner wanted the back of the TV to be as tight as possible to the front of the wall.

When we need to suck a display tight to the wall we'll do one of these...

I've been getting the 14" and then I just cut an opening in the top of box that lets the once connect slide up past the top of the box an then the bottom part of the box rests nicely against the base of the box. Bugs me a little but the 20" box is huge.

It's just a different way of writing 2/3 or .066". Well, that's screwy, because 2/3 of something is 0.66 of something, not .066 of something. In all honesty it is 4" OR 6" deep for the people that may take 4/6" as an actual measurement Those would be the people who use accepted norms for writing fractions. Call 'em up before you make any holes and get 'em to tell you numbers that are incontrovertible.
