Television Wall Mount Installation

Wide screen flat panel TV's are light in weight and thin making for easy wall mounting using a Television Wall Mount

. The idea of mounting a TV on the wall like a picture was not possible with the old CRT form of television.

One real advantage of a television wall mount is the saving of floor space and the opportunity to clean up the tangle of wires that seems to accumulate behind floor mounted TV's

When choosing a wall mount make sure that it is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant this will ensure that it will be compatible with any VESA compliant TV that you buy.

The first thing to do once you have determined that you want to mount your tv on the wall is to decide exactly where it is to fit and to ensure that the wall suitable for mounting the size and weight of TV that you are considering purchasing. Make sure that there is enough room and that the wall is strong enough.

You need to have an understanding of the wall construction and make sure you can comply with all the relevant building and fire codes applicable in you area. You will need to understand and have some knowledge of how the wall is built, what is inside and behind the wall such as possible water, gas and electrical services.

After figuring out or finding out these details, the first step after receiving the wall mount, is to take the time to read the installation manual that came with the Television Wall Mount and make sure that you are certain that it will fit on the wall area you have chosen to mount the TV

Being even a little bit handy-man will make it possible to fit the wall mount yourself. You need to firstly find all the tools you may need such a power drill, screw drivers, wrenches and a decent level.

If you wish to hide the cables behind the wall then getting the electrician that you use to install any power sockets required for the TV to also fit the required TV cables is a good idea,

Following the instructions provided by the mounting bracket manufacturer will be all that is required and generally they go something like this-

A.Decide on the TV mounting position, ensure that there is a suitable power point within reach (add to this hiding the cables by a professional electrician).

B.Attach the mount to the television

C.Marking the mounting holes for the wall mount using a template and ensuring the mounting is level. Attach the mount to the wall

D.Running the cables for the TV

E.Hanging the TV on the wall using the television wall mount

A good idea is to have some friends on hand when it comes to attaching the TV to the wall since even the lightest flat panel TV can get a little heavy and need to be held steady while attaching to the television wall mount.
