The reasonable prices of LCD and plasma screen TVs have made it possible for many to install these units in their homes today. These flat screen TVs are usually mounted on walls with the help of TV wall brackets. The reason that they are mounted on walls is because it is only from here that LCD and plasma screen TV owners can get the best out of the unit.
If you have just bought a flat panel TV and know your way around tools, you need not hire a professional to mount the unit as DIY installation manuals are provided with the TV. But there are some important tips to remember when mounting your flat panel TV.
• The first thing you need to do is select TV wall brackets that are of the correct size for your TV and that meet your requirements
• You will then need to decide which wall in the room you want to mount the TV on and make markings depending on where the holes on the TV wall bracket are and the place where the unit will be
• Once you are sure of the measurements and markings, you need to drill holes into the wall to attach the TV wall bracket
• You may also have to drill a hole in the wall to hide the cables and wiring
It is important that the cables are attached before mounting the unit on the TV wall brackets else it will be difficult to connect them. Perfectly mounted flat panel TVs on TV wall brackets can give homes an elegant appearance and provide an excellent viewing experience for the users.
