Tv Mounting Install Tips

TV Installations can be simple and straight forward such as Mounting your TV on the wall and connecting it to your satellite/cable box

In this article I will discuss TV mounting on a wood framed wall. Typical wall construction will have vertical studs placed 16” apart measured from the middle of the stud as pictured below.

Next, hold the back bracket to the wall, using a pencil mark through all the mounting holes on the wall. Each TV install is different and personal preferences vary but typically you will want to mount your TV so the center of the TV is at eye level while seated which is typically 40-48”.  Using a stud finder, locate and mark the center of the studs

Pre-drill for the lag bolts that will secure the bracket to the wall, typically wall mounts ship with metric lag bolts, check with the specifications for your mount to determine the size of the pilot hole. If using a M8 lag bolt use a 1/4” drill bit.

Now secure the bracket to the wall with the lag bolts and be sure to tighten the bolts well but not so tight that they strip out of the wood.

Once the bracket is securely mounted its time to turn your attention to the arms that mount to the TV, each manufacturer has their own style so follow the included instructions. When selecting the screws to hold the arm to the TV make sure that the screw is not so long that it bottoms out in the mounting hole.

Do all TV wall mounts fit all TVs?

Not all wall mounts can fit with all types of TVs. The TV brackets should fit the hole pattern on the back of the TV in order to work.

Most of the TVs use a standard mounting pattern, called a VESA size.


What is a VESA size?

As we said VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) sets certain guidelines to standardize the sizes of the wall mounts to make it easier for consumers to find the best type of TV brackets without a hassle. Every wall mount with the same VESA number will fit with any TV with the same number.

However, some TV manufacturers choose to ignore these standards, so the holes in the back may be positioned differently. Usually, if this is the case, they may also produce TV brackets to go along with the TVs. Some companies produce adjustable brackets, that can fit any holes easily.
