Mounting a TV on the wall looks simple — until something goes wrong.

A poorly installed TV can:

  • Fall off the wall
  • Damage your wall
  • Ruin your viewing experience

1. Mounting the TV Too High

The centre of the screen should be at eye level when you’re sitting.

2. Choosing the Wrong Wall

Not all walls are suitable for mounting a TV.

3. Using the Wrong Mount

Using the wrong mount can lead to serious safety risks.

4. Ignoring Cable Management

Messy cables ruin the look of your setup. Plan cable routing in advance.

5. Not Checking the Wall Properly

There may be wiring or pipes behind your wall — drilling blindly is risky.

Bonus Mistake: Doing It Alone

Large TVs are heavy and difficult to handle alone.

DIY vs Professional Installation

DIY can work if you have the right tools and experience.

When to Call a Professional

  • Large TV
  • Unknown wall type
  • Need clean cable management
