SOLID that you mention to hand tighten everything so you don't strip things. The small drill left / right is very clever to 'really' find the center of the stud. You might suggest what the common heights of dressers are so that if you have family photos or a 't*ts' old school tube channel audio system that's going to sit on top of it, the dimensions are 36 " to the top of your dresser in your bedroom so 46 " to the bottom edge of your TV from the floor works usually Holmes.

If the studs are off a little to far, you could take a nice piece of 1x material about 24 "s long and screw that firmly into the studs. the TV mount could be positioned in the center of the wall and screwed to that.

[@jaqenhghar7302]

Huge fan, ❤ love your videos. I really could use your help as the pro you are. I have been advised against wall mounting our 50” tv in our condo because of “metal studs”. I have been told you can never be sure you have actually penetrated the metal studs or just bent them. This is an old tv, 50” plasma so it’s very heavy and rather thick, compared to newer tv’s. It is probably over 100 lbs. So I am reluctant to try this. We did have it wall mounted in our old house since getting it new in 2007. But in this condo, this is a very small bedroom so having the tv on the wall is the only option. Have you ever run into this problem ? Any body else have any advice ?

[@paulcarlin5181]

I would just get a TV stand. I think that is the route we are going to go.

[@alidemirtas6249]

Thank you for the video. It is really useful to understant what to do. I just bought the LG C3, I want to do wall mount but not on a wall, it will be on some wood(decoration purposes to close the window) this wood piece will be mounted on the wall tho from the corners. I would like to mount the wood piece first on the wall, then just want to install the wall mount the TV when it arrives. What kind of wall mount should I use?

[@michaelgriffiths6584]

First class.

[@jzm6403]

Before mounting, I thought ahead and did NOT remove the factory stand until it was mounted to the wall. Absolutely no need to do this with this wall mount until I had the TV where I wanted it. This mount swings out plenty to remove the factory stand afterwards. I mounted my 65" much the same and used the same brand. I used tape on the wall once I found the center and the studs so as not to mark up the wall. I also used this same method of centering the 2x4. I have 2 stud finders. One has lights that tell me when the 2x4 is there (not super accurate but works) and a magnet stud finder. I use a small nail on a vice grip to center the line for the stud once I find it. The only thing I don't like is the typical 42" TV center (from the floor) that seems to be standard. This just isn't high enough for me. I put mine at 48" from the floor and it still wasn't high enough. The rear TV bracket only allows for about 4" of adjustment up and down. When I first mounted it to the recommended center from the floor (but 48" not 42"), it was almost identical height as when it was on the TV stand. I then removed it and raised the rear mount 4" higher. STILL not high enough. For me, a 60" center is where my 65" belongs. I can now lower it 4" for the perfect height of 56" from the floor. With the 5-degree tip feature, this is perfection.

[@chrisblasi5877]

Great Video...how do u know how high to mount a TV wall mount ? My TV size will either be a 43 in or 50 in . Is there a certain measurement u use.

[@ghstbstr]

Yeah you're right anyone can install their own tv it's just one(or two, because technically there's two) simple step. You put both feet on bottom of tv and screw them in if necessary, and just like that you're done. Easy peasy nice and easy. 😉

[@BTheInstaller]

I love it... nice work. 3rd step.. have a beer and watch TV. ✌

[@user-nh3gu1ge3d]

But then it's on the floor. Or you gotta buy a piece of furniture. Easier to mount it to the wall for the cost of a 50 dollar mount.

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

and then it takes up a lot more space and is far less stable.

[@stevetech1949]

I'm seeing some nasty glare on my 10 year old 50" LG Plasma TV and will wall mount and tilt down to help w/ that. Thank you! P.S. I would LOVE to replace it w/ a new 65" TV now, but the cheapest one I would consider costs about a grand now.

[@davidfranco4773]

Hey B great intel! Do you think is ok to use 4 of these new cavity fixings for heavy itemd (GeeFix) as my drywall is like 10in depth) and studs were likely put at back so also bolts won't be long enough thanks x advice

[@WetSpotatBRC]

When picking my TV's height off the floor I realized that the recommended "eye level" suggestions from the internet made the view from the kitchen of the bottom of the screen blocked by the "eye level" heads of people sitting on the couch. I stuck an above average height person on the couch, went into the kitchen and sighted just above thier head to the wall where the TV was going to mount, and that's how I picked the bottom of my screen. Moral of the story is to consider all possible viewing locations before installing blocking and/or drilling holes.

[@cubanderasyeha]

Great video! Thanks! One question, though, how can I tell the max weight of a TV that the studs will be able to hold? Can drywall hold a 75in TV? Thank you!

[@dginta7932]

That mount says for TV’s up to 55”. Why does it work on that larger TV you installed? Or is is because you are under the 99 lb weight capacity of the mount? Great video, thanks.

[@kingstring23]

Great video man! I just got a 77” A80J and I’m thinking about mounting it in the future. The only wall it would fit on in my living room has metal studs since I live in a condo. Any advice for that? Is it even possible/safe with a TV that size? I’ve seen other videos using toggle bolts and/or plywood to distribute the weight but I’m still uncertain. Thanks!

[@BTheInstaller]

Yes you can mount on 2 metal studs with the 3/16 or 1/4" toggles through the stud. It takes an understanding. I made a video, look for "dual A9G oled install" in an office. It was from early 2021

[@kingstring23]

@@BTheInstaller sweet!! Appreciate it!

Had to make extra holes too low initially, bummer. No studs just wall anchors. Thinking about painting a short strip of making tape and laying it over the One Connect cable just to see how it looks.

Sir B... You have the best reviews in all, thank you. I just pick up my XR77AJ80 from BF, after your reviews and now planning to mount it on wall. My TV cabinet is 25 inch height, I want a 8-10 inch distance from the cabinet to the bottom of the TV. That means the center of the TV to the ground is 54~ inch. With my sofa is 10~12 ft away from screen, should I be concerned with the optimum viewing angle? As I was told the best height to be 42 inch to center of screen when sitting for best eye leveling. Any comments, thanks!

[@13NZR13]

I’m in the same situation. It should be fine but still concerned it will be too high.

[@markvanyo4302]

This advice may be a little late but Big John having the center of the TV to the ground at 54-inches sounds way too high. I have the dead center of my 50-inch TV at 41 inches above the ground because when I sit on my leather couch my eyeballs are about 40 inches above the ground. I sit 11-feet away from the TV. And when searching online it's recommended I get a 70-inch to 90-inch TV if it's going to be 4k. Time for me to look for a bigger TV. Hope this helps.

If wood comes out, it's wood. If the drill doesn't go anywhere or makes a banging noise, it could be metal. Normally about 20% of the time. You can use toggle bolts through metal studs and they work quite well. You need to understand how to use them properly and the weight of tv

Most would recommend the 77. If the wall and the space can hold it. Prices are quite low for those. I paid 4k for 65" a90j so it's all relative. I wish I had the 77 a80j in bedroom now. Could also save $1k

@@BTheInstaller Thanks. I'm probably going with the a80j based on your review - I'm more of a tv and sports watcher than a gamer. The wall can definitely hold it and there is plenty of space.

@@BTheInstaller Glad to hear you think it's overkill. Will have some strong help here tomorrow to actually put the TV on the mount and a little nervous about it. I'd rather hire a pro to do it but around here they're all booked up for the next several weeks.

@@BTheInstaller I got my 83" A90J mounted on the wall today, with help from my adult kids. Went pretty smoothly, thanks in large part to your videos. Thanks so much. Glad it's over and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Newer houses can use metal studs so that could be a problem for some people

[@BTheInstaller]

Metal studs are fine for most installs, but they're pretty rare in single family homes. More common in apartments and condos.

Hi B, You dont seem to tighten the screws holding the bracket into the wall very tight? Is there a reason for this? Installed a heavy 60kg 85’’ TV into breezeblock (through a small gap in plaster board) and I am a little concerned I didnt tighten the bolts enough. I was concerned by the potential of threading the bolts so snugged them up with a rachet but did not apply any torque/force. Your input would be hugely appreciated

[@BTheInstaller]

I hand tighten until it just starts to bend drywall/mount. They are in studs not the drywall. The studs hold the bolts still

[@ASRmann]

@@BTheInstaller thanks man. Great videos by the way. Subbed 👌🏽

[@richelmquist4951]

Mr. B where can I find the "light tape" using a USB socket attached behind the screen?

[@BTheInstaller]

I think it's in my description. Cheap LED lights for behind your TV. The patington ones are good for 12 bucks.

B, I forgot to use the washers on the two top lag bolts for the wall mount. Am I screwed?

[@BTheInstaller]

Is the bolt head bigger than the hole in the mount? If so, it should be fine. Washers are best to have on to prevent that.

[@dcbrot]

@@BTheInstaller yes, the bolt head is bigger than the mount. But I pulled the bolts out and put the washers on and screwed them back in. It felt clean and secure so I’m feeling ok. Dude your video was awesome. I bought the mount and powerbridge just like you showed and followed your video step-by-step! It’s looking very clean!!!! You’re a great teacher

[@BTheInstaller]

Good stuff. Glad it helped.

And do you have a link for the hex drive ?

[@ZonaDeluxeOficial]

I’m just confused about the wall, how can I know what kind of wall do I have? I can see that wall had “wood separation” between the panels but i think my wall has the metallic parts, not sure, how can I know?

[@jungleviper]

You need a good stud finder.
