When you are buying a plasma TV the first step before purchasing it is to decide which room and wall you would like to install the screen on. The next step of your purchase is to choose the right size to suit the room it will be occupying. The third and most important step is the selection of right type of bracket for the installation of the screen on to the wall.
The bracket should have a load bearing capacity of more than the weight of the screen in order to hold it securely and safely. Wall brackets for plasma and LCD TVs are available in different designs with various features that enhance the experience of a large screen viewing. Depending on your preference for fixing the screen to the wall or having a tilt and swivel facility there is a bracket to assist you. It is worth checking to see whether a bracket conforms to VESA standards which will guarantee the safety of your expensive plasma TV.
After selecting a bracket and purchasing your plasma TV, you need to start installing your bracket. First you need to locate the exact points on the wall where the bracket will be fixed. Mark the points on the wall where bolts will be fixed. After drilling holes for the bolts and cutting out spots for cable connections, fix the bracket securely with bolts. Always read the installation manual, this will save you a considerable amount of time should anything not work at a later date.
