SECURELY Mount a TV to the Wall in 5 Simple Steps

[@Stoneham64]

Very nice tutorial. The only thing that I'd add my two cents into would be the portion of drilling the holes. I've found it easier to find and mark the studs and the approximate location of where the mount will go. From there, predrill and then secure one corner of the mount. I then level the mount up and mark the other three holes. That way I have a perfectly level mount with no holes that are 1/8th or so off. You have yourself a new subscriber, BTW.

Remembering when flat screens first came out how bulky/heavy they were and it was a very daunting challenge to mount them back then. Today, TVs are very light and mounting them shouldn't be as daunting as before.

Get a 2x4 drill it into the studs and then you can connect the tv to the 2x4 wherever you want

If part of your mount is only landing on one stud, you can use toggle bolts. Ensure you get the ones for the appropriate weight.

[@davidthompson9359]

Thank you for the great video. I have one of the large SANUS wall mounts and a 85 inch tv weighing 135lbs being mounted above a fireplace mantle, where the hook point is at 90 inches from the floor. How do you get an 85 inch, 135 lb TV lifted up that high? The Samsung TV I have has the SANUS hardware with the hook point 12 inches from the top of the 43 inch tall TV. I know a couple guys can lift it up to a reasonable height, but how do you safely lift it that high?

We don’t have that issue and have had the treadmill for probably ten years, but it’s super loud and also the screen occasionally blanks out toward the end of a run. I guess I expect some of that after so many years.

I was looking for a video on how to install a tv mount on a drywall with resilient channels. Do you have that or what ‘s your recommendation to successfully accomplish that? Thanks

[@franciscokloganb]

For those who are curious, if you are sitting 2m-2.3 meters away from the TV you have a tolerable error margin of approximately ≈20cm (before factoring in mount functionalities), in the placement of your mount. This is assuming the video-poster is correct regarding the 5degree rule in order to avoid feeling neck discomfort.

[@SoSaysYou]

What model hisense?

[@chrisklest1238]

How did you check if there was romex, conduit or pipe running through the stud where you drilled? I am thinking about drilling 1/16 to 1/8th inch at a time and then will look inside the hole with a flashlight and see if there is a cavity where romex or pipe may be running through. Thoughts?

[@Armand0008]

There should be metal plates there. So if you feel a lot of resistance when drilling that should be your clue.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video as always

[@TheStorkrecords]

My wall has 24" studs. Where we would like the tv is off a bit to hit those studs. Any suggestions, or do they make a mount that spans more distance so I can move the tv over more?

[@LRN2DIY]

If it’ll span at least one stud, I’d go with that and use heavy duty drywall anchors (like the 75 lbs each variety) for the other two holes. Of it doesn’t touch a stud at all, four to six of those drywall anchors will be plenty strong for any modern TV, or you can look at bracing the area between the studs. You could even mount a piece of plywood to the studs and mount the TV mount to that.

[@lazerlazer]

It would be nice if you would’ve shown how do you put everything on the T.V. in the beginning.

[@scorpio6587]

I use a piece of OSB as a ledger. I mount the ledger to the studs, and then mount the TV bracket to the ledger.

[@oldauntzibby4395]

That's a good way to do it if your mounting holes don't match up with your studs. My house has studs on 24" center and the bracket I bought secondhand is narrower so I'll need to bridge across the studs to create a good mounting plate. I think I'll use a 2x board lag bolted to the wall studs, then I'll be able to mount the wall bracket to that. It'll be hidden behind the TV. If it's a large, heavy TV I don't trust OSB not to crumble if there's nothing but wall board (drywall) behind it.

[@dracojensei1141]

Does size matter

[@deidriallen7871]

My house is a 100 years old - there know studs - just plaster and lathe. Any suggestions?

There will still be studs running vertically but the spacing may be different. The lath and plaster sits between the studs.

Do you have to use the stud scanner?

[@sirpsychosecksi4953]

No it just helps find studs

[@giovanniurias155]

Harbor Freight has a full range of motion mount for $40 and they are really well regarded

[@WeatherNut27]

Does the outlet need to be behind the bracket? I would think it can be below it too since the tv is large enough to hide it?

[@jmert_5859]

I watched a video and it said the optimum mounting height for a TV is the bottom needs to be 42" off of the floor. Not that I follow that, but use it as a rule of thumb depending on the situation.

[@bonedustmunroe]

I always use the top of the nearest light switch cover as an arbitrary height to line up with the bottom of the tv, for general wall install of anything bigger than 75.

[@CherishPedraza-c3g]

What to do if studs are too far apart for wall mount brackets?

[@arsengames]

If you use the bottom of tv as a reference, measure from the bottom of the tv to the top holes on the mount

What exactly are studs? You referred to them a lot in the video and I don't know what it means.

[@TwinbeeUK]

Vertical strong wooden beams behind the visible wall that support it.

[@zeus_2001]

If you don't know what studs are, you shouldn't be drilling into the wall for massive lag bolts cuz the risk of catastrophe is high.

[@MikeFuryTech]

Sadly, my bedroom had 24" on center not 16". So my 75" TV is essentially supported by a single stud.

[@ZeroColdx911]

You can fix that by installing a ledger board that spans 24” then attach the mount to the ledger

Mentioning that studs can be 24 inches apart instead of 16 would have been nice, new mount I bought is useless.

What about a wall mount that u can tilt up and down

[@pjwallace1006]

Here’s my dilemma, and maybe y’all can offer some input… 1.) Where things are right now- Currently, I have a 42” TV in my office/fun room, on a wall mount. Said wall mount is positioned 6.5 ft. above the floor (IF that’s of any importance). Moving on… In addition to a Dish Net Joey, there are also TWO video game 🎮 consoles hooked up to the TV. One evening, I was playing a game ON said TV, but suddenly, I had an epiphany (moving on here)… 2.) Changes warranted- In order to get the full benefit of “maximum gaming performance and enjoyment”, I need a larger TV …😊!!! I’m thinking, somewhere in the vicinity of 65-72”. Now, in order to do this, I’m thinking that a wall mount that can sustain something in the vicinity of 200 lbs. will give ME piece of mind. My concern I’ve been building up to is THIS: -I like where the wall mount is, but w/o getting into TOO much detail, bottom line, I have….concerns regarding gravity and stability!!! -I’ve done measurements to see if said TV w/ said measurements will fit in office/fun room, so no problem THERE❤️🤍💙. -The TV I want IS 💯% video game 🎮 compatible (If I wanna WATCH-but not PLAY-TV, I’ll go into the living room. So again, all good there. Again, I just have reluctance with trusting the stability of the NEW wall mount in the ORIGINAL spot. All input and advice GLADLY welcome 🙏… CHEERS 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
