5 Mistakes People Make When Mounting a TV

Use cable covers. They hide the cable and don’t ruin the wall.

Living room tv is mounted without moving. I cant connect hdmi

Tv in the back is a bit high, but only a mount which moves up and down would fix that

Wait... what cables would you pass through the wall then? Especially on a television.

If you have to,you can drill a hole in the mount to put that tv mount on the wall if needed.

how to pick a Samsung 65 in Wall Mount? I'm moving to a much smaller apt from where I live now so I want to mount my tv because I''ll need every space every space I can get. So what you suggest? Also I'm moving into APT that has metal and concrete bldg. What's your best suggestion for mounts, I dont want something that extends from wall too far. But I also don't want to have any trouble with bright lights and viewing angles either. In addition my mom after dying from Covid I took her old 43 in lg while I was waiting to replace my old lg 50 inch that I loved but fuse went after 10 yrs of ownership. So what do you suggest there too? thx.

As far as cables go, you can also use Raceways from Home Depot to put them in and run the raceway behind the tv 🤷‍♂️👍🏼

good advice. thx

So we are going to take advice from a guy who has a homemade cast on finger? How did that happen Joanah? Then we may can talk about these TV mounts

Where did you get the mounting bracket for the soundbar? And was it easy to connect it to the bottom of the tv?

Open the wall and install blocking. Then no need to worry about studs.

Tip - better watched in x1.5 speed

How do you have holes to mount your tv, but cant make holes for pass through outlets?? It easier said than done. Try to run a cable down a fireplace. You’re a wannabe.

Drill holes thru the mount too if need be gentlemen

What about glueing it?

TV too high.

Easy way to find studs is use a magnet until it attracts to a drywall screw and put your mount screw directly above or below it at least one inch. Pre drill hole with a drill bit slightly smaller than the tread of the bolt or you can risk blowing out your stud you're trying to attach the bracket too.

Good to know! TY!

Now do one for ceiling mounts

Bro mounted his TV so his eye line while standing is at the bottom bezel 😂 … imagine sitting down to watch that TV and breaking your neck

Your TV is way too high, the speaker has to be ear level.

Whats up with the rat tail of wires hanging off the tv?

thank you!

The most important one for me is knowing if there are pipes or cables on your wall. To prevent yourself from having a bad week, get yourself a Wall detector.

Nope. Can't take advice from someone who doesn't hide the wires lol 😊

You know, all of this sounds good and Cray. Except when you live in an apartment and you can't just go installing anything in the wall. They barely let you mount the TV on the wall.

Bro you talk way to much

What mount was that when you were explaining about un even studs. Im looking for a mount that has holes directly in the center of the mount, because theres a stud directly in the middle of where I want my tv centered?? Its 77”

I NEEDED THIS VIDEO, THANK YOU!!

Conduit baby!

Wrong height, bad TV. Visible cables don't hurt anyone.

Drill a fresh bolt hole in the mountain.

Running power cables in a wall is not a hazard, how do you think electricians run power circuits? We run 2.5mm² twin and earth to the outlets, through the wall, weather that be through the studs and gyprock or chasing it through brickwork. It'll be fine to run your power cable through your wall.

Doesn't the power bridge also run a cable through the wall?

Very informative video

How do I know where the wood is at in the wall?

Buy a perlesmith tv stand problem solve. Don’t know why people mount their tv above fireplaces maybe because they see it in a magazine and say it look good. I have my tv at eye level so I don’t get a crick in my neck from holding my head and neck up like I’m seated on the front row of a movie theater

You know you've made it when you have to install a tv that measures 33 inches tall by 57 inches wide in a cavity that is 34 inches tall and 58 wide and you only have to measure and mark once! If you know, you know.

FOUR LONG YEARS AND YOU'RE STILL HERE AND MAKING SENSE.

real question... how is a power bridge any different than just running your power cable in the wall.. are they surge protecting or something?
