TLDR Review: Legrand In-Wall TV Power Kit
Verdict
This kit shines if you're mounting a modest-sized TV and don't mind a few visible screws—installation is genuinely straightforward and the flat design blends into your wall nicely. However, if you're working with a larger TV mount or anticipate adding cables down the road, the size constraints and rigid cable management might be real problems. We'd strongly recommend measuring your specific TV mount footprint carefully before you buy to ensure it'll actually fit within the recessed housing; discovering incompatibility after purchase would be a frustrating waste of money.
- Top pro:
- Easy installation with an improved design that actually keeps the "ears" on the boxes secure, fixing past headaches
- Top con:
- Mounting screws are visible and don't exactly contribute to a polished aesthetic
Pros
- •Easy installation with an improved design that actually keeps the "ears" on the boxes secure, fixing past headaches
- •The flat design genuinely blends well with your wall without awkward protrusions
- •Sufficient knockouts for power and ethernet connections, so you're covered for the essentials
- •Functions as advertised and delivers a clean finish
- •Box clamps securely to the wall and stays put once installed
- •Plays nicely with low voltage accessories and cable management covers for flexible routing options
- •Can be installed in the same stud space as existing receptacles, which is convenient

Cons
- •Mounting screws are visible and don't exactly contribute to a polished aesthetic
- •Built-in wire clamps are stiff as a board, though you can adjust them with some effort
- •Cable management is surprisingly rigid—if you need to add more cables after installation, you'll have to remove the cover and deal with it all over again
- •The 5.5" X 7.5" recessed housing is frankly too large for most larger TV wall mounts, which really limits where you can position your TV
- •The cutout template runs small and requires manual adjustments to fit properly
- •Metal lugs spin freely on their screws, making future removal a frustrating exercise
- •The component pricing feels a bit steep
