What are the Types of TV Wall Mounts?
You should have an idea of what kind of TV wall mount you need to get. If you don't, then there are only a few different types of wall mounts to choose from. Including those that hold the Hdtv extremely close to the wall, but offer absolutely no method of adjustment, to extremely sophisticated mechanized mounts which can be really versatile and may shift sideways and up or downward. When selecting a mount it is always recommended that you go with a reliable business which has excellent reviews from other buyers. At the conclusion of the post, I'll let you know the place I buy all my wall mounts for my company.
What is VESA?
All Lcd TV wall mounts ought to be VESA certified. This means that they will be compatible with your Television as long as both of them are VESA compliant and you have the proper size wall mount for the Flat Screen TV. TV mounts usually have the size television they are designed for and the maximum amout of weight the TV can be to safely use it.
Required Tools
You might already possess the tools you will need in order to install the mount. A tape measurer, power drill, screw driver are all you'll really need. Having said that, a stud finder is sure to help make the job easier. Additionally, use a level if you don't have trust in judgement on how straight it is before you bolt the bracket on the wall.
Installation Tutorial
There is lots of debate on the ideal height to mount the Flat Panel TV on the wall. Should you be doubtful, you can always create a cardboard cutout of your flat panel TV to approximate the height that's perfect for your TV. After you make a decision where you need to install the television, the next step is to locate the studs. In most homes studs can be found 16 inches apart. You will need to no less than use 2 studs to properly mount a Television, in some cases 3 will be better if the TV is heavier. I personally use a stud finder that I bought for around 20 bucks from my local home improvement store. Stud finders will leave you with no doubt that you're going to drill into the stud. I have drilled countless missed holes through the wall without one! All you do with a stud finder is guide it over the wall while pressing a button. It will make a beeping sound automatically once it finds a stud. Then you can mark the spot using a pen or pencil. If you don't have a stud finder handy, you can measure 16 in. from the electrical outlet or door frame to manually find it.
Next, place the the mount plate or bracket about the wall and screw in the top center from the plate. This will help be able to very easily level the mount before screwing the remaining holes of the mount to the studs.Then all you need to do is choose the right bolts to match the holes about the back of the TV. Almost all wall mounts contain a assortment of bolt sizes so that you can find the proper size bolt for your Television. Once you find the right bolt for your TV, you attach the mount to the display.
Now you should have the bracket installed on the wall, and the TV attached to the mount. I have a plate hole ready near or within the bracket for my cables to run through the wall towards the TV. You're almost done! Simply place the mounted TV on the bolted bracket on the wall to complete the project.
