Thank The Cheese is on a distinguished road
cheers guys, not bad ideas at all. I wonder if I can build a simple "AppleTV Shoe" out of wood. I notice there are small ~5mm gaps around the edges. I could get a slab of wood and glue or screw together little wooden tabs to slot inside the recesses snugly.

that's just crazy enough to work!

Qion will become famous soon enough
If it's possible, I would give the tabs a slight upward slope to counter gravity.



(The lovely illustration is a bit exagerated, of course.)

Wall mounts are kind of funny -- most every screen you see in ads and in commercial spaces are likely wall mounted in a very clean way, but when you get yours home you'll quickly realize how much of a pain it is to do and requires some real knowledge of construction and electrical techniques. A wall-mounted screen without hidden cabling is kind of an eyesore and I can't help but look at my TV over the fireplace and the jumble of wires below and wish I found someone to do a clean job on it. I tried a local electrician and they had never done one and couldn't really give a quote on what it might cost.

I'd be hesitant to put that weight on staples.

You'd be better of using a router or dado to cut in grooves for the straps to go around the back. And be sure to screw to studs or use molly bolts to make sure it's secure.


Also, if the IR give you any trouble, add a mirror at 45º angle. ;-)
