TV Wall Niche for 75" TV - Time Lapse Build Over 11 Days
This video covers a TV Wall Niche we built in our new house over the course of 35 days, it actually only took about 12 days total, but spread out over 35 days.
I have never done anything like this before, but I knew what I wanted, I did not want some small box mounted on the wall that surrounded the TV, I wanted a large extension mounted to the existing wall, with extra shelfing for a sound bar, Foxtel unit & DvD player.
I was up at 6am every day, and worked on the house side by side with the tradesmen for a month, to get all of this footage.
I also spent 4 days editing this video as i had so much footage to go through.
This is the biggest project I have ever done, both in labour and video editing.
I am very happy and proud of the results of both the niche and this video, I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for watching.

It took me 12 days of filming over 35 days total, to film all the footage for this video, and 4 days of editing, but I am proud of the result. I am all done with renovating my new house and I am back to making videos, *I AM BACK, LETS GO!!!* Oh I thought this was worth mentioning, as I am proud of the fact, since starting the house hunting, cleaning, selling, buying, renovating process in January to now May, *I have lost 15 kg in weight,* not only have I been on a diet, but all the manual labor at both houses, has run me ragged, I have never worked so hard in my life. I have been a desk jockey all my life, working on computers, my body does not really know what manual labor is, well it learnt the hard way over the last 4 months.

Lovely job . Enjoy.
Great video and project. Very professional. I think maybe running the electric before drywalling would be a little easier. I would also use black or dark colored outlet covers instead of white. I like hiding everything for a clean look, so I would add a removable fine black mesh screen frame that hides the sound bar but doesn't obstruct the sound

Put some sound insulation behind the Niche wall and the surrounding hollows should make the sound even better. And I would consider wood insert for the soundbar holes as the plasering will scratching or being scratched .

"And I would consider wood insert for the soundbar holes as the plastering will scratching or being scratched ." I thought of that, but they assured me it wouldn't and they are right, once the sound bar is in place you have no reason to ever move it there for it's not scratching anything.
Nice setup and good work. Can I ask, how does it sound with the Sub being behind the TV? I like the idea of concealing it but doesn’t this affect the quality of the bass?
It’s nice taking all that space just for a tv should add an electric fireplace under as well and was 100% done not bad but could be better my opinion any way good job and looking at the end 👍

HI. Great work. How many centimeters do you have extra space around the tv? I am thinking how much I need for my 75 inch tv, so it's not getting to warm. THanks!
That's an amazing set up
NIce! Looks great! I really don't get the led lighting under furniture though. I guess its just not my style though.
Your TV is at the perfect height for watching TV while standing up. How high is the mid point of your TV, like 72 inches?
That looks absolutely awesome How did you plaster the narrow niches , being so narrow must have been very hard . I’ve Never seen anyone use angle beads for internals ??? Always just taped up with scrim tape Also did you not think about ventilation for the tv , could have mounted a usb powered fan , mounted in the bottom of tv niche , sucking in air from your narrow niche under neath and blowing air into void behind tv
Hey man really love it thats so awesome definitely different than your standard setup

Thanks, and no they quoted for the job regardless of time, & materials, it only cost me $1500, I think he under quoted. - we cut away the floor so the beams could be mounted to the concrete foundation to make it rock solid, and it was rock solid. Plus they are floating floor boards and will eventually need to be replaced, so no point leaving them under the unit. - all equipment, TV, Soundbar, DVD Player, can be replaced with easy at anytime.

Fabrication requires real effort. Starting from the wall itself. I was wondering if a short cut is feasible. Example direct mount the TV on the wall. Then separately fix the side box unit on left and right then TOP and bottom. It basically carries Low weight. And it doubles as shelf if needed . This Vs a single piece. Vs a fabricated box on the ground and mounted after that.
It's BEAUTIFUL!! The only problem is, the next owners cannot have a TV bigger than 75 inches. It would have been nice if it was built to fit a larger tv, unless you're planning this house to be your forever home. You can always put a smaller tv in a 90 inch recess, but not a larger tv in a 68 inch recess. I'm not poo-pooing your job. It's magnificent work!!✨✨ I just stumbled over your video because I was searching for videos on ways to eliminate the older box-recesses that were built in older homes that fit tube tv's about 26 inches. I have two 86-inch tv's, and while searching for a new home, I've found a large number of homes have these old BOX recesses sitting above fireplaces that are completely useless for anybody with a modern tv, ....unless you're comfortable watching a 30 inch tv??? Nobody has videos on ways to eliminate these archaic box designs. Ugh.

I have a niche 6x4x2 ft for 60" TV, replaced with 77" a80j, mounted on wall mount articulating arm 26" extension. The sound cleaner, like concert hall effect, when both sub and soundbar are inside the niche. Just experiment on the best sounding location at the back of tv. I end up placing the sub at the back left corner and soundbar 6" at the back of TV bottom of niche. Soundbar Samsung Hw-a58c/za. Tuning the opening is like designing a speaker cabinet just experimenting it where is the best location of the speaker in the cabinet, listening until you get it to your liking. If I have to built it, like this guy, I would used the Trapezoid shape back, the sound will be more pronounced, projected infront, less distortion.
Did you have a difficult time with the tv mount and making sure fits perfectly inside the wall niche? Seems like most can’t adjust height of tv on mount so trying to figure out to make sure I install perfect so fits in niche perfect. Any tips? Did you experience this problem? Great work !
