With unlimited molding styles to choose from at your local home center or lumberyard, the frame's look can quickly become a cohesive addition to any décor. I chose the modern look of a 1x2 board with a delicate inset cove molding to match the look of the built-in shelving around my TV and finished it with gold spray paint to complete a custom-built frame for my TV.

Does the frame cover the remote eye on the tv?
Any chance drilling a hole might work?
Not all TVs use IR. If your tv does use IR drill a hole for the sensor.
@Navy1977 some use Bluetooth, some even use WiFi- neither need a clear view of a sensor.
I've got one word. Magnets.
Wow! Terrific! Thank you!
Now you just trapped the heat in the back and the TV will burn out prematurely.
Excellent
....and your remote wont work because you blocked the IR receiver.
Can a small hole be drilled?
@@noracharles80of course. I've seen vids on that exact thing.
IR extenders and HDMI CEC equipment are also viable options
If this is a Samsung frame TV, then the ir receiver isn't on the TV.
What kind of old school infrared remote are you using! Lol. Bluetooth much?
Nice work Jen, you 🤘🏽
Why not mount the tv to be level?
i tried this on a RV TV but the frame fell off every time i changed the position of the TV arm 🤣😂 This was the same week i tried to cook beans on the BBQ grill but they kept falling through the grill 🤣😂
@Navy1977 no just being funny 😁
Why is there still no security scans for busses or trains?
Even for long distance train rides, I can arrive a minute before the train pulls in and bring my bike and backpack aboard. This often makes train trips faster than the same trip by plane, door-to-door.
anyone who mounts their TV over their fireplace should be thrown in jail.
Hahhaaa
@Navy1977 - literally anywhere else… even in front of the fireplace would be better, if you live in a climate that doesn’t necessitate a fireplace.
and putting it on a stand on a TV console table is much better than mounting, in living rooms or dedicated media rooms 👍
Dumb comment.
I cannot stand house hunting and seeing the room setup for tv above fireplace. Instant no go.
@@webberfan1234 - I think ideally it would be better to have two smaller “living” rooms… one as a sitting area/drawing room-type thing, and then a separate TV room, rather than one large “great room.”
or if the house is too small, as is likely, the floor plan would allow the TV to be placed against a wall, with the fireplace at 90° to the TV, with furniture arranged so that they can easily address both 🤙
Just buy a Samung The Frame tv. This wood thing will overheat your tv.
Make a House One youtube channel so I dont have to look at your trash content. Would rather the TOH guys do this.
Well, that's pointless.
Tv was 100% crooked…unbelievable
