Have you considered setting the TV on a stand? I have never seen the need to mount a TV on the wall. A lot of them are mounted too high for proper viewing.

Agree. Tom mounted a 65”TV in our bedroom last Wednesday. I ordered the TV from Amazon. He unpacked the TV, mounted on the wall (he supplied the Bracket), put the electrical and coaxial behind the TV. He does dozens of mountings weekly. Highly recommended.

We used Best Buy to mount several TVs on the wall including one outside on the lanai. They did a terrific job. No wires anywhere.

Default Safety?

Is it safe to conceal the electrical cord inside a wall? Most wall mounted televisions will also require an extension cord. Has anyone had to relocate their electrical outlet? Thanks.

Perfectly safe.

You can purchase a longer power cord for your TV and install a new electrical box in the wall below the TV...

Personally, I don't see a problem running the TV power cord behind the drywall for a few feet, but some installers will not do it. All TVs should be plugged into a surge protector, that are available in several lengths. I would not run the surge protector cord or extension cords behind the drywall.
