Sanus Wall Mount

For the first-time LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) owner, mounting your TV on the wall can be an intimidating task at first glance. However, turning your boxed purchase into the centerpiece of your living room only requires some patience, some supplies, and a good friend at your side to help.

Find the Right Spot

Carefully decide where you want your LCD TV mounted. Take into account where you and others will be sitting, proximity to windows (beware glare from sunlight), and other size and space considerations.

Get a Mounting Kit and Necessary Tools

If a mounting kit is included in your LCD TV purchase, you are one step closer to success. If not, check the Internet for the best deals on mounting kits and make sure the kit you pick is compatible with your TV. Once you have your kit, you will need a saw, screwdrivers, and a drill. A measuring device is a must as well.

The Mounting

Use studs to provide support for the mounting bolts. Mounting bolts support the weight of the TV and the mounting bracket. Two studs should be plenty.

Fasten the mounting rails to the back of your TV. Make sure they fit properly with no slippage.

If you need a hole to run wires, use your saw to cut through the wall.

Drill holes for where your mounting bracket will be screwed into the wall. Screw the mounting bracket into the wall.

Get your friend to help you lift the TV onto the mounting bracket. Once you double check your bolts for tightness, you are ready for action.
