How to Wall Mount a Plasma Flat Screen TV
Mounting a flat-panel TV on the wall can mean a slick display with little or no footprint. Plasma televisions have also become lighter and better-performing, making the installation more of a one-person job than ever before. Wall-mounting a flat-panel plasma TV requires a few tools and --- although smaller and thinner --- an assistant for good measure.

Locate two studs using the stud finder. Hold the wall bracket portion of the mount against the studs and wall, at the desired viewing height. Mark through at least four of the bolt slots using the drill bit tip.
2Remove the wall bracket. Drill through the marked locations, at least 3 inches into the stud. Replace the wall bracket, and drive in the included bolts and washers using the socket wrench and appropriate insert.
3Locate the four threaded inserts designed to accept the TV bracket bolts, included with the mount. Place the TV bracket against the TV, and attach the bolts with the included Allen wrench in a clockwise motion.
4Have an assistant help with lifting the TV onto the wall bracket. Check the horizontal alignment using the level. Adjust and secure the leveling with the leveling screw on the back of the mount, using the Allen key.
