Never put a connection behind sheetrock. You can run wires behind sheetrock just like all wires run behind sheetrock, phone data electrical.

Look for a product named Power Block. Amazon sells it.

Tom at Villages AV, 352-388-1677 is the only call you should make.

Not to code. If caused a fire that could become an insurance issue. Beware!

Dave Palumbo & Son (352) 895-0022

Remember, the proper way to do the installation is to run the electrical outlet wiring up behind the drywall to a new outlet behind the TV. Running an extension cord from the TV down to an outlet just above floor level violates the building code. In the case of a fire, you’d have saved a couple of bucks, but your claim would be denied. Dave won’t make the connection that way. His cost also includes the proper bracket for your TV.

Fully agree on Tom at Villages AV, 352-388-1677. He's an expert! Has a probable 2-month waiting list though.

I used Villages Audio TV Mount. He did an amazing job with the install. No visible wires and he even made the cable box disappear. Great job, reasonable and personable. I highly recommend. 352-388-1677

Tom at Villages AV...... does an excellent job, doesn't charge an arm and a leg, and shows up at the appointed time. Highly recommended. You won't go wrong.

As far as wiring goes, check out Amazon. Look for a product called PowerBridge.
Very easy do it yourself setup.
Tv should be mounted so you are eye level with the middle of the screen no higher. That being said I have seen many mounted higher.
