Tools and hardware needed to mount a TV

PROBLEM :

Wall mount information

 

SOLUTION :

Review the following information about compatible mounts, VESA bolts, replacement screws, and hardware tools before mounting your TV.

Compatible wall mounts

Samsung TVs are VESA compliant and will work with any wall mount that is also VESA compliant. If you purchase a wall mount through Samsung, it will come with all of the screws, spacers, and washers that you need to install it.

You can also purchase a wall mount from a local electronics store or the same place you purchased the TV.

Note: For information specific to your model, see the user manual for your TV. VESA bolt patterns are given in millimeters.

  • 100 by 100 (usually 19 22 inch TVs)
  • 200 by 100 (usually 23 29 inch TVs)
  • 200 by 200 (usually 30 40 inch TVs)
  • 400 by 400 (usually 46 75 inch TVs)
  • 600 by 400 (usually 75 inch or larger)

Replacement wall mount screws

  • The length of the screw will vary depending on the thickness of the wall mounting bracket, if spacers are being used, or if washers are being used.

  • The thread pitch, regardless of TV size, is always 1.25 millimeters.

  • For TVs 19 22 inches, the screw size is M4

  • For TVs 30 40 inches, the screw size is M6

  • For TVs 49 88 inches, the screw size is M8

Tools needed to mount the TV

While this can be a fairly easy DIY project, please do not do it all by yourself. Make sure you have someone to help you when lifting the TV.

You will need:

  • Stud finder
  • Carpenter Level
  • Phillips head screwdriver
  • Power Drill
  • Pencil
  • Universal TV mounting screws
  • Inwall power extension (cable management)

Note: If you experience difficulty, please contact a professional TV installer.
