How to Mount Your Flat Screen TV
Here is an easy to follow guide that will help you to mount a flat screen TV.
1, After purchasing your TV you should also buy one of the many TV brackets available on the market.
2, If applicable, remove the base that comes attached to your TV.
3, You should see 4 holes on the back of your television.This is where the TV bracket will be placed.There may be three pieces to the TV mount.
4, Lay the LCD TV face down onto a carpet or soft cloth.
5, Place the bracket on the back of the flat screen TV so that it is aligned in the centre.
6, Make sure to measure so that there is an equal distance from the top and bottom.
7, Now you need to find the correct bolts that came with the bracket.Make sure that they are of the correct size and thread pattern otherwise they could ruin the TV.
8, Place the bolts through the bracket and into the back of the TV, using a good screwdriver to tighten the bolts down without moving the bracket.You may want to use washers in order to get a tigher fit.
9, Next locate the studs in your wall. The best way of doing this is with a stud finder.Now place the biggest part of the bracket on the wall lined up with the studs you have just found.
10, With another person's help, you should hold the bracket against the wall then screw the largest bolts into the studs. Use a drill or perhaps a socket and wrench.
11, Again with someone to help you with the lifting, pick up the TV and hang it onto the bracket.Tighten all of the nuts that are attached to the bracket so that the TV will be mounted tightly to the bracket.
12, Do not let go of the flat screen TV until you are sure that it is sturdy and will hold the weight of the TV before you fully let go.
