The HIDEit mount for Xbox One X keeps your living room neat and tidy

Earlier in August, I reviewed the Xbox One S wall mount from HIDEit – a sleek metal custom mount that lets you place the panel behind your wall mounted Tv set. The HIDEit mount is perfect for those who don't want to purchase and install a wall shelving system, or just to keep their wall-mounted Idiot box clean and minimalist.

With the new Microsoft Xbox One X hitting store shelves HIDEit is back with is a new mount for that console. I recently installed it and hither is what I remember.

Virtually this review

HIDEit notified back in August that the One X would as well get its own mountain and sent me one as shortly as it was gear up. The company is now selling them directly on its website or through Amazon with complimentary Prime shipping. The retail cost is $44.99 on Amazon, merely HIDEit sells it directly sometimes as low as $35.99.

What this is and who it's for

With the Xbox One X and like other gaming consoles where y'all put information technology matters. Many people have larger amusement centers, but with wall mounts costing between $15 and $45, it's often cheaper to just put a new, thin high-end TV directly on the wall. The problem arises of how to use a gaming console in a such a setup.

HIDEit makes many types of mounts meant to be placed behind the Goggle box (or only on the wall, adjacent) keeping the electronics out of the way and unimposing. At that place are fifty-fifty universal mounts letting users, and handy creative types ready up PCs and other forms of displays in their firm of a custom look.

The HIDEit Xbox One X mount is a simple, all steel frame with screws that drill into your drywall. Included drywall anchors ensure that the screws never come loose.

Here is what is included in the box for the Xbox I 10 HIDEit mount:

• VESA Compatible: 100mm (M4) & 200mm (M4/M6)
• Easy access to power button, output jacks, and cables.
• Cold-rolled 16-judge Steel for superior strength.
• Powder coat end protects from scratches.
• Made in the United states from Recycled & Imported Steel.
• Quick and easy to assemble and install. No measuring, no templates.

The packet arrived with the mountain itself wrapped in shrink plastic for protection. Screws, anchors, directions, were all included. The only matter y'all demand for installation is a drill (three/sixteen for the drill flake and anchors) and a screwdriver. The screws are not unusually long, and there are only four, and so you lot tin fifty-fifty practise this all past manus without a drill.

Installation is a no-brainer

For my setup, I have a 55-inch LG OLED Television set already mounted on the wall. In this case, I am removing the existing One S HIDEit mountain and replacing it with the Ane X version. Due to the similar setup, I could but re-use the existing holes, but since I as well swapped out the Boob tube (Samsung to an LG) the TV is at present slightly higher due to a different mounting bracket, and then I'll be moving the HIDEit mount up marginally higher as well.

Installation takes but about fifteen minutes. Only line up the mount on the wall backside the Boob tube, mark the four inner holes (if not using a VESA setup), drill, add anchors and so secure the mount to the wall.

Just drill 4 holes and install drywall anchors to secure the HIDEit mount.

Due to the size of the TV, the HIDEit mount can easily fit behind information technology and still be invisible from view. Smaller TVs including 32" ones may be a tighter squeeze but should all the same work.

You'll, of course, want to do a dry run because the I X is asymmetrical, and and then is the mount. Which style you want it facing and how it slides in (it's only one manner) depends on which end yous mount up. Since I wanted the Ane X is to push correct to left the mount is placed with the logo upside down this style the Xbox power button is facing rightwards backside the TV.

In one case the mount is screwed in, the One Ten just slides in. There is no set screw to keep locked in, only unless in that location is a severe earthquake, in that location is little adventure that the 1 X can slide back out. Subsequently, simply connect your cables to the back of the TV, and you are all set up.

Hammering in the drywall anchors (optional).

Since the One X cools past bringing air in from the sides and pushing it out of the back, the HIDEit mountain never interferes with the procedure, ensuring you won't damage the One X from overheating.

And for those wanting not to hibernate their One X console you can just as chop-chop place the mount adjacent to the TV, letting you bear witness off your express-edition "Project Scorpio" console if you take one (I'll be doing that for the downstairs).

The HIDEit mountain and Xbox One X are at present ready to game.

Finally, the One X mounted backside the TV works but fine with the standard Xbox wireless controllers and the PDP Talon media remote, which I still highly recommend. I experienced no degradation in performance with the Talon PDP remote and didn't feel I had to do any awkward angles to become it to work, which is a testament to how good that $20 remote is and why yous should nevertheless get 1.

HIDEit mounts nevertheless highly recommended

For those looking for a clean and sleek setup, at that place's still nothing quite like HIDEit mounts. The quality of the mount is excellent with no creaks, or bendable areas and being made in the U.S. helps. Installation is super simple even if you're non power tool savvy – it's four holes, and yous're done.

As of now, HIDEit is not selling the I Ten kit with additional mounts for your Xbox controllers (which you can see in my photos), but you lot tin can buy those split for $16 (two-pack) and even get a headset mountain for your gaming headphones to complete the fix.

The Xbox I 10 is at present completely out of sight behind this 55" LG Idiot box.

At just $45 the HIDEit Xbox I X mountain seems like a no-brainer. The quality is excellent, installation is simple, and if y'all're thinking of keeping your Xbox One X off the table and the HIDEit mount will let yous practise some really creative stuff in your living room.
