How to Mount a Flat Screen TV on a Wall

Select the proper mounting kit for your model of TV. These kits comes ready to be mounted into wall studs, but can also be mounted in drywall, concrete and other surfaces. An important thing to remember is that the mounting anchors must be able to hold five times the weight of whatever it is you are mounting.

Attach the mounting arms to the TV, by screwing them into the corresponding mounting holes on the back of the monitor. Once the monitor is ready, insert the security screws into each side of the mounting plate, but don't tighten them completely.

Use a stud finder to locate the outsides edges of the two wall studs where you want to attach the mounting plate. Mark the location of the studs with a pencil. If you're mounting kit comes with a mounting template, attach it to the wall with tape and use a level to keep it straight. Use a tape measure to mark the distance from the floor to the template to make sure it is exactly where you plan to mount it. Drill the appropriate holes into the wall, then attach the mounting plate and secure it with the screws. Unlock the security screws to ensure the mounting plate is ready to accept the TV.

Connect all of the audio and video cables to your TV as necessary then have someone assist you with lifting the TV up onto the mounting plate. With the mounting arms secure against the mounting plate, lock the security screws into place to stabilize the TV.
