Mounting you television to your wall can be a great way to give your room a different style and layout. When you’re mounting your TV, there are several things that you need to do in order to prepare yourself for the task at hand. Make sure that you’re TV can be mounted to the wall before you go out and buy a mounting kit. These kits can be found at Wal-Mart or online for very cheap. Here is the process to mount your television to your wall.
1. Pick the best place for the television. If you have a bare wall or a great place over the fireplace that you would like to mount your TV, envision the way that your furniture will look after you are done. Mounting your TV will open space in the room and allow for different layouts, but think about how you want the room to look before you start the mounting process. Determine if how the cable box and power outlets will sit with your mounting
position.
2. Attach the two mounting rails to the back of the television. Before you mount the bracket to the wall, attach these rails to the back of the television so you know how the rails will fall in correlation with the mounting bracket.
3. Use a stud finder to find the studs in your wall. A stud finder will be able to find the studs in your wall so you can screw the mounting bracket into them. If you do not find a stud, your drywall or sheet rock will not be able to handle the weight of your TV.
4. Drill into the studs so you have a pilot hole for the mounting screws. Insert the mounting screws and use a drill with a ratchet attachment to drill the mounting screws through the pilot holes. Make sure the mounting bracket is level on the wall. If the mounting bracket is not level on the wall, you could put too much pressure to one side of the bracket and bring down the TV all together.
5. Attach the mounting bracket to the mounting rails on the back of your television and you’re done.
