"I want my TV on the wall but I don’t want to see the cables!"
We can do both! Just mounting your TV to the wall isn’t always enough – it’s the installation of the right cabling that gives it that clean, professional finished look.
At Pro TV, we can do everything from inserting a tidy cable trunk so the unsightly cables are tucked away externally to completely hiding the cables inside the wall itself.
Cables for wall mounting TV's
Each room in your house will have different cabling requirements, which will affect the cost of installation.
The TV cable options below are intended for the larger main TVs within the house – typically measuring 50”-86”.
All the standard options for regular large TVs are explained below but, if you’re still unsure, just get in touch and we’ll help you figure out the ideal option for your home and TV.
Cost to wall mount your TV = Base cost + Cable option
Base cost
Most TV's are fitted for $239 + one of the cable options below.
XL TVs (77”-85”) are fitted for $279 + one of the cable options below.
Cable Option 1
Internal Walls (Single Brick)
The internal wall is a wall within the house that backs onto another room, so therefore you can’t hide the cables without wall chasing. But don’t worry, we can still mount a TV to internal walls with tidy cabling! For internal wall mounting, cables are surface run and housed in an AV cable trunking below the TV. The result is a neat and tidy, cost-effective solution.
Examples of TVs using internal wall cables:
Cable Option 2
New Build (Conduit)
This typically applies to new build houses which have already had the wall chasing completed during the build. This allows for the cables to be hidden within the single brick wall.
Examples of before and after using conduit installation:
3. External Wall
4x 3 Metre Cable
2x AV Brush Plates
Power Lead
1 Hour Labour
Base +$199
Cable Option 3
External Wall (Cavity)
This is for homes where you want to mount your TV to the outside double brick cavity wall of the house. In this case, the cavity wall has a gap between the brick allowing for cables to be hidden.
Examples of before and after installations using cavity wall:
4. Cable Punch Through
4x 3 Metre Cable
2x AV Brush Plates
Power Lead
Large Trunking
1 Hour Labour
Base +$219
Cable Option 4
Cable Punch Through
This cabling method typically applies to TVs that are mounted to an internal single brick wall. However, the TV position may back onto an out-of-sight type location such as a garage or wardrobe. This allows us to install the cables to go through the wall and up behind the TV – keeping your cables hidden from view.
The position behind the TV needs to be clear of obstructions for this type of installation to fall within budget.
Examples of TV installations using cable punch through:
Gyprock walls within apartments are fine for large TV installations and if there is a gap in the Gyprock, option 3 would apply – some apartments also use options 1 and 2. We can advise you if you are unsure which applies to you.
