Installing TV Mount

To mount a TV, start by choosing the right location on the wall where you want to hang it. Make sure it is at eye level and easily viewable from your seating area. Find the studs in the wall using a stud finder and mark their locations with a pencil. Next, attach the TV wall mount to the back of your television using the provided screws. Then, with the help of a friend, hold the mount against the wall and align it with the marked studs. Drill pilot holes into the studs and secure the mount to the wall using appropriate screws. Finally, carefully lift the TV and hook it onto the mount, making sure it locks securely. Double-check the alignment and tighten any loose screws. Now you can enjoy your mounted TV in the perfect position for optimal viewing.

TV mount prices can range anywhere from $15 to $500 depending on several factors, including:

  • Size of the TV: Mounts for larger TVs tend to be more expensive than mounts for smaller TVs.

  • Type of mount: There are many different types of TV mounts available, including fixed mounts, tilting mounts, full-motion mounts, and sound bar mounts. Full-motion mounts, which allow you to swivel and tilt your TV, are typically the most expensive.

  • Brand: Some brands are known for being more expensive than others.

  • Features: Some TV mounts come with additional features, such as cable management or level adjustment, which can also affect the price.

Here is a general breakdown of TV mount prices by size:

  • Less than 25 inches: $15 to $110

  • 25 to 35 inches: $15 to $200

  • 35 to 55 inches: $20 to $300

  • 55 to 65 inches: $25 to $400

  • Over 65 inches: $50 to $500+

If you are looking for a budget-friendly TV mount, a fixed mount is a good option. Fixed mounts are typically the least expensive type of mount, and they are easy to install. However, they do not allow you to move your TV once it is mounted.

If you want more flexibility, a tilting mount or a full-motion mount is a better option. Tilting mounts allow you to tilt your TV up or down, while full-motion mounts allow you to tilt, swivel, and extend your TV. These types of mounts are typically more expensive than fixed mounts, but they offer more versatility.

When choosing a TV mount, it is important to consider your needs and budget. Be sure to choose a mount that is compatible with your TV and that is strong enough to support the weight of your TV.
