This Weston, FL install put an 85-inch TV on a solid poured concrete wall — fully concealed cabling, nothing running down to the console below it.
Solid concrete isn't CBS block, and cable concealment works differently
CBS block — the standard South Florida wall type — is hollow-core, which gives a cable a path to travel through once you're past the interior finish. Solid poured concrete has no such path. Once a wall is poured, there's nothing to fish a cable through after the fact; the material is solid all the way through. A fully hidden cable on a wall like this generally comes down to one of a few realistic options: conduit that was cast into the concrete during original construction specifically for a planned TV location, a low-profile cable channel routed and finished to disappear into the wall's paint line, or a path that avoids the concrete section entirely by running through an adjacent penetrable surface — a soffit, a drop-ceiling void, or a neighboring stud wall. Which of these applies depends entirely on what the building's construction already provided, which is why assessing the actual wall and the space around it comes before any cable gets touched.
Mounting into concrete takes different hardware than block or drywall
Concrete is denser than CBS block, and standard masonry bits made for block bog down or wear out fast trying to push through it. A proper concrete install uses a rotary hammer drill with a carbide-tipped bit rated for solid concrete, and anchors — sleeve anchors or wedge anchors — rated to hold their full load in concrete specifically, not general-purpose masonry anchors sized for a hollow block cavity. For an 85-inch TV, that anchor rating matters: a screen this size puts real leverage on every anchor point, especially if the mount ever gets bumped or adjusted.
The result: an 85-inch TV holding securely on a wall type that stops most standard installs cold, with no visible cable anywhere between the screen and the console beneath it.
