Forums - Gaming - How does your tv-console-gaming setup look?

I am looking for a new tv and will probably get one before the end of the year, when I do I would also like to upgrade my stuff around the TV. I would like to put up my new TV on the wall so I can get rid of my big clunky tv-furniture which leaves more room for the family (got small kids) and so on. But that leaves me with a problem. Where do I put my consoles? I am up for a new solution, I'd like to have my tech.stuff on the wall as well (BD-player, PS4, Wii U, Tv-Box and soon to be NX and perhaps a XB1 in the future) but I dont really know what to do.

 

So if you have a neat solution of my things and if you would like to share. Plz do it =)



Around the Network

I would recommend a Sony 850D or a Samsung KS6300.

The 850D has a decent input lag, as well as a better OS (Android TV) and better noise algorithms (meaning you won't get a lot of nasty artifacting when things start moving too fast). Plus, it's a 10-bit panel, so HDR.

The KS6300 on the other hand will have more conforming blacks and a lower input lag. The noise algorithm isn't as good, it's only an 8-bit panel, and SmartHub is useless if you're pairing with a console. Also, the 6000 series isn't super reliable; get an extended warranty.

As for your consoles, they make wallmounts for consoles now. That's how I intend to have my front living room set up after I get a couch for it. I would ditch the BR player (it's useless unless you're just dead set on Dolby Atmos), and I would consider ditching your TV service for SlingTV or PlayStation Vue (Vue has more channels, more simultaneous streams, DVR, and a wonderful Guide when using PS3 or PS4). If you're dead set on using those, just grab a set of wallmount shelves.

 

I personally have two living rooms, but only one couch. This means one of my two 4K TVs is just hanging out for the time being. In the active living room, though, I'm running with an XBR55X930D TV, a PC, a PS4, and a Wii U. I have a ton of consoles, but not enough r- that's a lie, I just don't wanna set them up (it's a hassle and it FILLS my massive TV Stand to the brim, so nuh). The TV has HDMI2.0, so the computer is running 4K@60hz (can't play games like that, of course; only a GTX950 at the moment). The 930D is almost identical to that 850D, but it sacrifices input lag for deep, accurate blacks.

 

My other TV is an older XBR55X900A. Yes, I have two 55" 4K TVs. When I get another couch, I'll also grab a Retron so I can retire more consoles. At this time, only the PS1 and PS2 are retired, as I have a BC PS3. My Gamecube would be retired were it not for the usefulness of its GBA adapter, otherwise the Wii has replaced it. With a Retron, though, I can retire my NES, SNES+Super Gameboy, Master, Genesis, and Gamecube+GBA Adapter. Then they'll just be on display.

You can make a mantel-like shelf below or to the side of the TV to place your consoles on, or mount the consoles on the wall directly

Wallmounted shelves here (dunno if shelf is the right name, it has doors to hide the consoles)
And fair amount of holes and a few silent fans to keep everything cool.
Beside somewhat frequent cleaning of dust filters its wonderful and looks really good.
Also no longer need to worry about small hyper-active children running around and putting weird stuff into Electronic devices



Here is mine

Console, PC and router are in the TV top shelves that have breathable cloth fronts and grills at the back, the bottom drawers have games/controllers plus other stuff.

Maybe you can get more ideas from:
