Help! How do I Mount my TV?

Here is a simple-to-follow guide that will help you to mount a flat screen TV.

1, After purchasing your TV you should also buy one of the many TV brackets available on the market.

2, If applicable, you should remove the base that comes attached to your TV.

3, You should see 4 holes in the back of your television.This is where the TV bracket will go.There may be 3 pieces to the TV mount.

4, Carefully lay the TV face down on a carpet or soft cloth.

5, Place the bracket on the back of the flat screen TV so that it is aligned in the centre.

6, Make sure to measure so that there is an equal distance at the top and bottom. 

7, Now you should find the correct bolts that came with the bracket.Ensure that they are of the appropriate size and thread pattern otherwise they could ruin the TV.

8, Place the bolts through the bracket and into the back of the TV, using a good screwdriver to tighten the bolts down without moving the bracket.You may wish to use washers in order to get a tigher fit.

9, Next you need to find the location of the studs in your wall.  The best way of doing this is with a stud finder.Now place the largest part of the bracket on the wall lined up with the studs you have just found.

10, With another person's help, you need to hold the bracket to the wall and screw the largest bolts into the studs.  Use a drill or perhaps a socket and wrench.

11, Again with someone to help you with the lifting, pick up the LCD TV and hang it onto the bracket.  Tighten the nuts that are attached to the bracket so that the TV will be mounted tightly to the bracket.

12, Do not let go of the flat screen TV until you are completely sure that it is sturdy and will hold the weight of the TV before you fully let go.
