How to Mount Any LCD or Flat-Screen TV on Wall

Now we understand the ideal height we want to place the TV Mount, we need to determine the mounting holes for the wall. If you have a timber frame home, you will have timber wall studs running vertically up your wall, behind the plasterboard. These are typically 450mm or 600mm apart. Once you’ve found the wall studs using a stud finder, place masking tape vertically up the centre of the wall studs and mark the centre with a pencil at the predetermined eye line height. We find the right location on the wall where you want to mount your TV and for this purpose we use a stud finder to locate the wall studs, providing the necessary support for the TV wall mount bracket. Our team ensures an area with a comfortable viewing height and minimal glare.

Place the wall bracket in the centre of the marks previously made, level it with a spirit level and mark the mounting holes required. The number of mounting holes will be determined by your TV Mount requirements as vertical mounts start with two required, and horizontal mounts may require four or six depending on the size.

Make sure to put on any PPE and eye protection then using a power drill and a drill bit slightly smaller than your mounting screws (mounting screws provided with the TV mount), pre-drill the mounting pilot holes.

Using your drill or Phillips screwdriver, secure the wall bracket loosely to the wall with one screw. Check again that the wall bracket is level when lined up with the remaining holes. Make corrections if required and then proceed to screw in the remaining mounting screws. When we mount your TV on the wall We ensure to choose the right bracket. The bracket our experts select is compatible with the size and weight of your TV. The most common wall brackets are fixed, tilting, and full-motion brackets. A fixed bracket is a straightforward option and is best suited for r ooms where you always watch TV from the exact location. A tilting bracket allows you to adjust the angle of your TV, which is helpful if you need to mount your TV higher than eye level. A full-motion bracket is the most flexible option and allows you to adjust the angle and position of your TV in all directions.

Lay your TV face down on a soft surface. Place the supplied TV arms vertically inline of the VESA Pattern. Position the TV arms so that it doesn’t protrude past the size of the TV. Ensure that the hooks are facing down. Using the appropriate sized bolts and washers, ensure that these bolts are firmly secured by hand to the TV but do not over tighten them.

With a friend, carefully pick up your TV from each side and place the TV arm hooks onto the wall bracket. Depending on the type of bracket you have, our team assesses the need to attach mounting arms. This could be attached to the back of the TV, or they hook it onto the wall bracket. Some brackets also come with a mounting plate that attaches directly to the back of the TV; therefore, the team ensures to follow the instructions provided with the bracket for proper installation.

Our final step is to secure the TV to the wall bracket. The TV arms will have a spring clip that can be clicked into place or have screws that screw into the wall bracket. We use a level to ensure the TV is straight, then tighten any screws or bolts to secure it firmly in place. We also test the TV’s stability before leaving it.

If you have a full-motion or tilt motion TV wall mount, you’ll have the ability to adjust the mount. Refer to your user manual to understand how to do this.

Congratulations, you’ve successfully mounted a TV to the wall. Hopefully after this exercise, you still have a friend to enjoy it with. Post your accomplishment on Instagram and tag us to share it @thecrestco #thecrestcompany #enhancingdigitallifestyle. We’d love to see how it turned out.
