Mounting your TV on the wall not only saves space but also gives your home a sleek, modern look. However, improper installation can lead to safety hazards and damage to your wall or TV. If you're ready to take on the challenge, follow these expert steps to mount your TV like a pro—or let a professional handyman do it for you!

Step 1: Choose the Right Wall Mount

TV wall mounts come in different styles: fixed, tilting, and full-motion. Choose one that suits your viewing preferences and the size of your TV. Check the weight capacity and VESA compatibility of the mount before purchasing.

Step 2: Find the Perfect Spot

Consider the height, viewing angles, and glare from windows or lights. Ideally, the center of the screen should be at eye level when seated. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs for secure mounting.

Step 3: Mark and Drill Holes

Once you’ve identified the studs, mark the mounting holes with a pencil. Use a level to ensure the marks are even. Drill pilot holes for the mounting brackets to prevent splitting the wall studs.

Step 4: Attach the Mounting Bracket

Secure the bracket to the wall using heavy-duty screws and ensure it’s firmly in place. For drywall installations, use appropriate anchors or toggle bolts. If mounting on a brick or concrete wall, use masonry anchors.

Step 5: Attach the TV to the Bracket

Most TV mounts have a separate bracket that attaches to the back of the TV. Secure it according to the manufacturer's instructions, then carefully lift the TV and hook it onto the wall mount.

Step 6: Manage Cables and Final Adjustments

Use cable management solutions to hide wires for a clean look. Adjust the tilt or angle if necessary. Double-check that the TV is secure before letting go.
