Big screens, low seats
Game rooms favor large screens and low seating, and both change the math. A 65- to 85-inch set weighs enough that the plate spans two studs, and a lower seat means a lower center of the screen than in a living room.
| Screen | Typical wall load | Plate |
|---|---|---|
| 50–65 in | Moderate | Two-stud plate |
| 66–85 in | Heavy | Two-stud plate or backer board |
| 86 in and up | Very heavy | Backer board across three or more studs |
Converted garages, dens and bonus rooms
Converted garages often have new drywall on old framing, so the studs are proved before the plate is placed. A bonus room over the garage is usually ordinary drywall over studs with sloped ceilings at the edges, which keeps the TV on the straight wall.
A backer board spreads the load of a very large set across more wood than a plate alone.
Taming console wires
Consoles and receivers need HDMI and power at the shelf. Cables go in a raceway behind the shelf, and HDMI is CL3-rated if it runs inside a wall. Standard power cords are never run in a wall.
Sound and glare
A soundbar on its own bracket below the screen suits most rooms, and window glare is managed with a tilt or a different wall. Surround speakers and subwoofers are placed by the owner.
Game Room TV Mounting — common questions
Does a 75-inch TV need special mounting?
It needs a mount rated well above its weight and a plate across at least two studs, with a backer board when the layout asks for one.
Where does the console go?
On a shelf below the screen with a short raceway behind it. The outlet already in the wall powers everything.
