F@ck'in Comcast, yet again..
Finally got done (for now) installing the flat screen in the kitchen post remodel and Comcast ****ed my shit up yet again. I mount the plate to the studs for the flat screen and go to mount the TV and the bottom of it is sticking out a good half inch more than the top. Why?? Because the AC power cord has a big ass box on it which is forcing the bottom of the TV to jutt out. Had to go to Home Depot and get bolts that were a good half in longer and about a dozen washers (6 each side on top) so that i could push the top of the TV out as well to make it parallel with the wall. Now the face of the TV is a good 5 inches off the wall when i was hoping to go with a low profile mount and have it at about 3.5 at the most..
Maybe i'm a perfectionist, but this bugs the shit out of me... |

I'm confused as to why the plug for the TV having a box on it (as you put it) is Comcasts fault. They make a recessed outlet that will go in your gang box but you probably already know this. Post up a pic of the carnage as I am curious what you're talking about.

I just mounted my plasma on the wall--the tv has a small recessed cavity that the bulky plug curls into to allow the bottom to lay flush against the wall... I must be missing something in OP's description...

Don't beleive me look.. View from the bottom. Side shot. Spacer and washer mod to push to top out so it would match the bottom and be parallel with the wall. Finished product. |

Have you look around online to see if you can get a different AC adapter with a smaller footprint?

It won't be pretty, but you could always knock a hole in the wall to allow the ac adaptor a cavity to be recessed. You'd never see it unless the TV was removed.

Another thing...why the tiny TV? That wall could easily handle a 60".

So, if it had a conventional plug on it, you'd be better off?
