Getting a new TV is exciting and mounting it to the wall will ensure that it is safely out of the way of harm, as well as being convenient to view from most angles in your room.

First, you need to determine which type of TV wall mount bracket you will purchase. There are three main types: low profile, tilting and full motion.

Once you purchase the tv wall mount bracket that you will use, you need to install it, obviously. Make sure you have all of the tools that you will need before you get started.

You will need:

o Stud sensor

o Screws (the ones that come with your tv wall mount kit)

o A good drill (or a screwdriver if you like manual labor)

o Measuring tape

o Pencil

o Level

First thing, determine which wall you will be mounting the tv on. Using your eye, find the approximate place you want the tv located. Next, measure about 45 inches from the floor. Make a small pencil mark on the wall where you will be installing the bracket.

Next, using your stud sensor, locate the wall studs behind the drywall where you will be hanging your tv. You need to mount your tv wall mount bracket into solid wood (studs), not just drywall, or your tv will fall right off the wall as soon as you hang it up.

Mark the stud location with your pencil with a small "x". Next, measure the vertical distance between the screw holes on the mount. After you determine this measurement, place the mount against the wall over the mark you made previously for your stud location just about your height measurement from the floor.

Using your level, check that the location will be level once you screw the tv wall mount in. Using large screws - #14 is recommended, pre drill your holes. Next, attach the mount to the wall stud with the screws. Check again with your level to make sure it is actually level. At this point, you can decide if you would like to run your cables through the wall. Get this done first before you go further.

Once your mount is level and the cables are run, you are ready to hang your TV. There are rubber mounts on the back of most tvs that attach them to your wall mount. Hang your tv on the mount and allow it to settle securely into place. Double check to make sure your tv is securely in place before you let go of it.

Steps To Mount Your TV To The Wall

Mounting a flat screen television to your wall is probably more difficult than you would think. If you do not know what you are doing this is definitely a job you should stay away from, after all, you did spend a lot of money on that beautiful flat screen TV didn't you? So don't risk installing the television poorly and letting the TV crash to the ground.

If you think that you have what it takes to install your television wall mount by yourself the first thing that you will want to consider when purchasing you flat screen television wall mount is whether or not your flat screen television model has the ability to be mounted to your wall. Make sure to read over your owners manual and look to see if the owners manual mentions VESA, which stands for Video Electronics Standards Association. If your television has this abbreviation then you know that the television meets the standards of being able to be properly mounted to the wall.

The next thing to consider is what type of wall mount is going to be right for you. You want to figure out where you will be viewing the television and if you might want to turn the television right or left providing you with more options for places to sit and see the TV well.

Just think about your room and how it is arranged and decide if you will want to provide yourself with different options for where to sit.

Again, if you don't have the tools or knowledge to do this properly you should definitely hire a professional.

Make sure that you read the owners manual for proper installation and follow it very carefully, this will make sure that you don't mess it up and it ensures that your television is safely mounted.

How do I mount a LACK Ikea shelf if the holes dont line up with my 16 inch spaced studs?

I bought 2 LACK ~43" shelves and the mounting bar has a bunch of differnetly spaced holes on the back, but none of the holes accomodate 16 inch space.. how should i mount the shelves?

I faced the same problem. What i did was buy anchor screws or molly screws. They fit in the wall and expand or spread a bit behind the wall , thus giving extra support. Then fit in the nails or screws into the molly bolt or anchor screws ( it will be explained in the package) .These are easily availble at home depot or Lowes at the Nail aisle.
