I'm remodeling my upstairs, and I'm thinking about adding a 2x2 video wall. Does anyone have experience mounting a video wall on the wall? I'm confident I can get all the TVs lined up properly, but I'm curious how I am supposed to implement the forward tilt I do with a single TV.

Do I just not worry about it and make everything flat to the wall? Am I supposed to put the brackets up in such a way that the whole video wall tilts?

Don't do it. Video walls are terrible because even a zero bezel will still have a small space between them. They will also burn in at different rates giving you a checkerboard appearance. Also If you have one go out which will happen you may not be able to get the same model which will cause even more color balance and lighting issues. Just get a 98" TV or a projector and you will be much happier. If money s no object get a 110" direct view LED wall.

Projector + multiviewer gives you the opportunity to have one large picture or several separate pictures.

100" projector at 4k would give you 4 50" 1080 streams.

In our new office space we put a video wall in the lobby and a single Sony about the same size in a conference room. I much prefer the look of the single Sony. No idea of cost difference.

This man speaks truth.

Get a multiviewer and four devices (roku or apple tv for ex).

Then use the space for as big a projection screen you can.

I bought this last summer and have loved it. It's on a great sale now. When I bought it, it was marked down from $3,500 to $3k.
