How would you mount a TV in this scenario?

We want the TV in the corner. There’s an outlet up there you can barely make out I had contractor add.
I’m thinking about clearance from the edges of the roof on both sides and ceiling. I’m assuming with certain mounts that it would have to be lower than the top header boards and more in the “center” of the TV. I’m worried if I mount to the vertical post in the corner that it may be a little too close to elements. So I guess I could mount it on the 45 angled board.
Open to any of yalls suggestions. Or open to mild name-calling and questioning of my intelligence.
Please beat Auburn.

I’d hang it from the ceiling instead of the post. I assume this TV is relatively new and doesn’t weigh 50lbs
ETA: You could get a motorized one and have it store itself out of the elements while not in use.

I would mount from the ceiling with a hinged mount where you stow it when not in use

Motorized, adjustable, about $150 at Home Depot.

That isnt too bad. I woukdnt recommend motorized since the humidity is goijmng to do a number for 150 isnt too much to be concerned about

From the roof if you want it permanently mounted, the rolling stand if you don’t mind moving it when you need it.
I have one on the rolling stand and having that mobility option is very handy.

I’d look for an RV type mount. They make them so that the TV is easily taken down without any tools. That would let you store it inside when not in use.

And also looks like shite. The goal is to not see the mount

Use a pipe mount off the ceiling, it will be hidden behind the TV.
That ceiling looks low enough that you can mount the TV up to the ceiling and it not be too high. The top of the TV would be protected from the weather and most of not all TV today do not have open vents on the back. You can also by a fabric cover in Amazon the zips up if you want added protection.

Mounting it is not the problem. Having to replace it after it gets wet is your problem.

as cheap as TV's are these days, I wouldn't worry about the weather effects much

The humidity will do more damage than some blown in rain. I have plenty of experience with this

Put a matching brace running up toward the roof perpendicular to your current. Run a beam between the two braces on an angle. Mount to that.
Just leave it on 24/7
70in lg at Sam's for 350 with a three year warranty.
