You will find that most LCD TV brackets come with a horizontal rectangle type frame. This allows it to span across 2 wall studs. Securing the bracket to the studs is what will allow the bracket to hold the weight of the entire television.

Some of the things that you should watch for before mounting your TV are knowing where the holes are on the back of the set. If you’re cable connectors are close to the these holes where the bracket will be connected it may be difficult to reach them once you have the TV mounted. You may have to consider connecting the television cables before mounting.

Before you hang your television consider the distance between the back of the television and the wall. Make sure that the appropriate people in the house are aware of how far the TV will protrude from the wall. If you think you will not be happy with the television’s position out from the wall you may want to consider having the LCD TV bracket inset. This would be similar to how a bathroom medicine cabinet is mounted and would entail some added carpentry construction work.

When it comes time to mount your TV, two people are needed, but three people would be ideal. Having two people to lift the television and snap into place and the third person to help guide it in the right direction.

If you are having trouble deciding where the TV should go and how high or low on the wall it should be, try using masking tape to outline where you think you want the television. This way you can sit on the couch and get a visual idea of the comfort level. You want the TV to be at eye level while sitting. This will avoid strain on the neck.

Before you start your project, make sure you have thought everything through. Make sure you know where the TV is going, and have all the tools ready. It is not a difficult job, but it does take some handyman skills to get it done. Having a buddy over to help you with the project would be helpful.

Enjoy your new TV viewing experience.
