Fitting your LCD TV

You might miss a trick when you purchase your LCD TV. All is fine and dandy, you’ve checked the configuration of the TV, you’re pleased with it’s HD capabilities, you’ve figured out the remote and setup your freeview. But have you hung it properly on the wall?

What you need, before you get to this stage, is to look through some LCD TV brackets and to have the right one ready to roll when you get home. There’s nothing worse than having a brand new toy boxed and ready to go but not being able to use it fully because you’re missing one vital piece of kit. Having your wall mounted bracket on hand will save you the headache of sorting out the mess later. Ideally you’ll have installed lcd TV wall bracket before your LCD TV even arrives. If you’re installing it onto plaster board you’ll need wall plugs to keep it from falling into nothingness. Installing the brackets onto a brick wall won’t require such things, but you’ll probably need a more powerful drill to make the holes.

There’s no shortage of creative places you can hang your TV. Above your bed, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, on your ceiling, inside a wardrobe. The house is your oyster when it comes to hanging your LCD TV, but don’t let your imagination run completely wild, hanging it above the shower is probably not a great idea…

Theres loads of brackets you can choose from, but in our experience it’s better to fork out slightly more money on a fully movable bracket. People often think they won’t want to move their TV once it’s installed, but trust us, a time will come when you want to move it for some reason. It will probably involve a Nintendo Wii..
