Have a client that saw this


and she wants me to do a frame for her. My only thing is how does those frames stay on to the tv? She mentioned something about an “L bracket” but I have no clue if that’s what it is. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
 
I believe that we used Offset clips, padded with felt, to hold the frame to the TV.
Depending on the TV, you may need to widen the Rabbet.
You may also need to do some tests to make sure that the frame doesn't block the Remote signal from reaching the TV.
Charge a bit extra.
 
I'm confused, which happens now and again in my dotage; Are you going to use one of Samsung's' TV frames or are you going to roll your own? If going with a Samsung frame, doesn't it come with complete instructions and hardware?

If you are going to roll your own; Why? If the cost is a factor, I would image you will spend more time/money engineering this than what one of Samsung's will cost. Just making the Remote work may be worth the price of admission. The cost of failure may be high. As you might guess, I'm not a fan of the roll your own version. I would think hard if this is a good choice to make.

Why does anyone get a custom frame, when there are ready made frames available?

Thanks so much!

lol making my own frame
 
Larson-Juhl used to have a kit for purchase. It consisted of a couple of straps and hardware. I used it for a couple of projects, and it worked fine. I may have an extra kit if you're interested.
I'm not a fan of framing TVs or computer monitors. It's not artful or crafty (IMHO) and the manufacturer's bezel seems more germane to the subject at hand. :shrug:

I've framed three flat screens (65" up to 85") for my boss.
There are things to consider.
Each had its own issues such as; little bumpy parts of the TV interfering with flush fitting or the remote sensor being blocked, etc.
I attached one with black canvas spring clips and the other two I used canvas offset clips.
Yes, padding under the metal to reduce the risk of scratching is smart.

I don't have a picture of the first one we did.
There were some small components of the TV that protruded beyond the rest of the surface.
We had to route and chisel some extra space inside the rabbet to accommodate those.
It didn't show from the front, so wasn't an issue. Just something we didn't consider at the planning stage.


This one fit perfectly. But the remote wouldn't work.
The only solution is not ideal, but again isn't visible from the front.
This TV is low enough no one sees the gap that had to be cut for the remote sensor.
He has to hold the remote at an awkward angle to get it to work.
If it were hanging in a home at a higher position, this gap wouldn't be very appealing or should be finished more cleanly.

This one worked without any issues at all. But that's because it is being used as a computer monitor/digital photo frame. No remote control is needed.
The computer is wired directly to a computer in the room behind this wall.
