Samsung Frame TV over a fireplace
Hello! I am looking to mount my Samsung Frame TV over my fireplace. I think the wall panels are stone which could be a problem. I’m looking to conceal the cable behind the wall, however I’m unsure if it’s even possible with a fireplace behind it. I’m also unsure if mounting on stone is even possible.
An addition, the Frame TV consolidates all the tech (minus the screen) into this external black box, seemingly to keep the TV as slim as possible. I didn’t realize it had that so now I’ve gotta find a place for it.
Anyone have any experience mounting on stone panels above a fireplace? Would it be possible to conceal the cable?
I’d also like some design ideas on where to put the black box? I was thinking a small little cabinet underneath the vertical window, however that wouldn’t look very symmetrical. I also have a PS5 but that’s not important to have here permanently if it helps aesthetics.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What size TV over our fireplace?!
Comments (10)I just discovered the Frame TV. I am so curious about it and think it is the perfect solution for your room. Would you please share some photos when you have it up and running?...See MoreWhere to go from here- paint & cabinet colors?
Comments (8)I like it also, I wouldn't change anything. It may not have turned out like you imagined, but no one is going to look at it and think you did it wrong. If you do anything, it's probably easier to repaint a wall than the cabinets. However, I think if they were all the same color it would be less attractive than it is now. So try to think of it as a happy accident....See MoreHelp With Mantel Materials Design - TV Over Fireplace
Comments (4)We have a frame TV over our fireplace. As long as you have a way to run the cable so it's unobtrusive, it looks just like a piece of art. We bought the frame (which needs to be purchased separately) from deco frames. Don't put a huge TV there unless you don't care about proportion. If you are keeping the hearth, I would try to get brick to match. If you don't have a tech tube, create something above the fireplace to run cables (shiplap/paneling)....See MoreHelp me decide what to do with this room?
Comments (12)Thanks for the additional info, I have a better understanding of what you are trying to accomplish! I still think you should wait to pick a paint colour until the reno is complete as your new floors will impact the light. You’ll also need to paint samples on large format boards to place them in different areas to see how the paint colour works at different times of day etc. For the front vaulted room, I agree with painting the beam at the peak the same colour as your walls to make that disappear and then keep the other beams in wood. For the windows, I would paint them the same colour as your walls and pick window treatments that will work with the other rooms. The wood blinds are fine but I think you have enough wood tones already so I would do a linen shade or something with texture & lighter tone, especially with lighter oak floors. For the TV/Fireplace if the room is 16 x 22, I would suggest creating 2 seating areas and have two chairs in front of the fire with bookcases on either side and put your TV on the opposite wall between the windows where those two scones are currently. Large sofa facing the TV with 2 chairs on either side would give you ample seating for your family on the rare occasions you have a rainy day movie night & 2 chairs flanking the fireplace will be a cozy spot for reading. What a great space for you and your family to enjoy! Keep us posted with updated pictures!...See MoreHU-910663146

last monthThanks for the comments. Yes there is a closet behind the fireplace. I've decided to route the cable into the closet, add power and store the one connect box in there. This would also be a good place to place audio equipment for in-ceiling speakers too. Got a guy coming Wednesday :)

last month"A wall mounted sound bar isn't ideal as it takes away from it looking like a picture frame. Would you recommend any other options? Perhaps a white soundbar that's ceiling mounted and facing towards the viewer?"
"The sound from the internal Frame TV speakers is perfectly fine for everyday viewing"
Unlike @chispa, I would not be satisfied with mediocre sound after having spent $1500 on a 4K TV. Think about how the experience is enhanced with you go to a movie theater with both excellent picture and sound. CU tested the Samsung QN55LS01B (aka Frame) and its sound was only mediocre (score: 3 out of 5).
- One soundbar to consider would be the Samsung HW-S801B/ZA soundbar and subwoofer which received a "recommended" rating from CR and is on sale at Amazon for $450. It is extremely thin and can be hung on the wall (below the TV, not near the ceiling). It is even pictured with the Frame.
- Another options would be the small Sonos Beam Gen 2 and also can be attached to the wall.
