Warning: Improper wall mounting of your TV can lead to damaged or broken property, bodily injury or death. If at any time you are unable to or do not feel confident that you can complete any step in this guide STOP IMMEDIATLY! Place the TV in a safe location and contact a professional.

Important: Depending on the mount you have purchased the instructions may differ from the steps in this guide. In these circumstances follow the instructions that came with your wall mount. For any questions contact the manufacturer of the wall mount.

Tips:

  • When wall mounting the height that you wall mount will depend on the height of your seating, how far away the seating area is, and the amount of tilt your wall mount has. The average height for a TV on a stand is 36" to the center of the screen. Mounting the TV to high can lead to a bad viewing experience due to neck and eye strain. We recommend having two people hold the TV at the height you would like to mount it at while you are seated and see if the position of the set is too high etc.
  • Remember to label both ends of any cables that you run through the wall. This make identification easier when connecting devices to your TV or when troubleshooting a problem.

  1. Most wall mounts will use a bracket style mounting system these brackets will have holes and slots up and down the rail which allows you to place the rails at different levels to easily adjust the height of the TV on the wall. Place the rails at the same height on the rear of the TV, then use the wall mount's supplied screws and washers to secure the brackets to the rear of the TV.

Important: If your bracket differs from this style, follow the instructions that came with your wall mount.

Tip: Some installations will require the use of spacers. These spacers and the longer screws come packaged with the wall mount.

  1. With the brackets already attached and with the help of an assistant lift your TV up and Hook the top of the brackets onto the wall plate.
