There are various types of TV mounts available, such as fixed, tilting, and full motion. Consider the size and weight of your TV, as well as the viewing angles in your room, to choose the right mount. Make sure the mount is compatible with the VESA pattern (the distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV) and the weight of your TV. You can check our our favorite mounts here.

Think about the viewing angles and the cable management when choosing the location to mount your TV. You’ll want to be able to see the TV from your couch or favorite armchair, but you’ll also want to consider the distance between the TV and the wall outlet for the cables.

You’ll need a drill, a screwdriver, a level, a tape measure, and the mounting hardware that comes with your TV mount. If you don’t have a stud finder, you can use a hammer and a nail to locate the studs. You may also want to have some wire ties, a cord cover, or a cord concealer on hand to tidy up the cables. These are the things you need!
Hold the mounting plate against the wall where you want to mount your TV and use a level to make sure it is straight. Mark the locations of the mounting holes on the wall, then drill pilot holes and attach the mounting plate to the wall using the screws provided.

Had them come and mount a 65 inch TV I didn't want to do myself. The tech Zach showed up, was friendly, professional and mounted it perfectly. Money well spent.
Highly recommend! It was super easy to schedule, and Zach was awesome! He was efficient, professional, and accommodating. My TVs look great! Thank you!!
