Sanus Wall Mount

Mounting your LCD flat screen television on your wall not only looks stylish, but also opens up some extra elbow room in your living room, bedroom or den. Though an LCD television is flat enough to hang on the wall, it's considerably heavier than your average framed picture or wall art. You'll need a mounting bracket and a suitable solid place to attach it to the wall.

Instructions

1 Remove the base from the television if it's not already off. Locate the mounting holes on the back of the television and measure how far apart they are. There are probably four of them, two on either side of the back of the set. Write down the measurements and go to the electronics or hardware store. Either should have a selection of suitable television wall mounts in the section where they sell antennas, TV cable and connectors.
2 Buy a mounting bracket that fits your television. There are two basic styles of mounts. One pulls the television flat against the wall or gives it a slight downward angle for viewing. The other mounts the television on an extension away from the wall so that it can be turned to get multiple viewing angles. These extended mounts work best for corner-mounted televisions.
3 Set up your television against a wall and determine the limits of its viewing angle. Consumer Reports notes that LCD televisions' optimal viewing angles vary from set to set. Some may lose brightness depending on the angle, while others are more vulnerable to up and down angles. An extended mount might be more appropriate to sets with poorer side-angle viewing since you can pivot them on the mount toward where most of the viewers are sitting. For up/down angle viewing quality loss, a wall mount that angles the screen downward slightly toward the viewer works better. If the LCD screen picture remains clear enough to cover all the viewer seats in the room, simply hang it flat on the wall.
4 Find and mark the wall studs in the area where you want to hang the LCD screen. Pass the stud-finder back and forth over the wall and watch for the indicator to jump. It may take several passes. Most stud-finders look for nail heads that are spaced up and down the wall under the plaster.
5 Push the wall mount bracket or brackets up against the wall and align the screw holes with the marks for the studs. Screw the bracket into the wall with a 3-1/2 inch screw with a washer behind it. Make sure the screw bites into the underlying wood stud. If all of the mounting holes cannot reach into a wooden stud, unscrew all the screws on the mount. Drill a quarter-inch hole through the plaster or panel behind the mounting hole. Push a toggle bolt with a flat washer through the mounting hole on the wall mount. Screw the spring-loaded "wings" of the toggle bolt onto the very end of the bolt. Push the "wings" through the hole till they clear the wall and extend, then push the wall mount flat against the wall and tighten the toggle bolt with your drill's screwdriver bit. Do the same on each hole that doesn't reach a stud. Redrive the screws that do reach the stud behind the wall. At least half the mounting screws should be into a solid stud to carry the weight of the television.
6 Lift the television onto the wall mount brackets. There will be a simple secondary mounting bracket that screws into the mounting holes on the back of the television or the set will have wall-mount holes or openings molded into the back of the case that fit onto the wall mount. The television should lift onto the wall bracket and mount securely. If the bracket swivels left or right, up or down, there will be a set screw or wing nut to secure the mount from moving. Adjust the television to the optimal viewing angle and tighten the set screw or nut. Attach the cord to the television and run it to the nearest wall socket. Cover the cord with decorative trim if desired.

Wall-mounting DirecTV receivers on specialized equipment shelves makes sense in places where adding A/V furniture is either impractical or impossible. This often is the case in bedrooms, kids' play areas and kitchens, where floor and counter space is at a premium. Although these shelving options have been around for quite some time, their popularity has increased as more people mount flat screens on the wall. Mounting small components is really not much different than hanging a heavy shelf and requires basic tools.

Instructions

Hang out

1 Locate a stud in the desired mounting area using the stud finder. Hold the wall bracket against this location and mark four holes on the wall through the bracket with the drill bit.
2 Set aside the wall bracket. Drill the four holes marked previously, ensuring that the stud's center is being hit in the process.
3 Return the wall bracket to the wall. Use the supplied bolts and the socket wrench to secure the bracket in place. Use the level to ensure the mount is straight prior to tightening the bolts fully. (There should be enough play in the bolt holes to make minor adjustments.)
4 Insert the U-shaped shelf in the wall bracket in the supplied receiving areas. Secure the insert into the receiving area with the small supplied screw and Allen wrench. Snap over the cosmetic trim piece to cover the the wall bracket and tap the two cosmetic end caps into the ends of the shelf with the hammer.

Nowadays, technology is growing, to the electronic media that we often use to obtain information also develops like television, ranging from the broad shape to the slim form factor, which is wasteful of energy to energy-efficient, which is now in the presence of television began to lean such as LED or LCD television, even saving space for the owner, especially if you put it on a wall bracket and put it in the living room, family room, bed room and other rooms as needed owners.

Installing the bracket is easy to hard, easy it is when you just put the TV on the chassis bracket, difficulty when having to bother to drill and measure the balance and accuracy in the beginning before drilling in the wall of the house.

Here we would like to share a bit of how the television on the wall mounting bracket for LED TV / LCD that might be useful to readers, before there is some equipment that you need to prepare, among other things:

1. Bracket TV
2. Ruler
3. Pencil
4. Drill
5. Screwdriver with size in accordance with the nut provided in the bracket

For the installation method, first used to estimate the size of the television you currently want to display in a measure of how high the wall, or can use a ruler to measure the height of how long to expect from the floor to the bottom upwards, then to the bracket that has the advantages of DOF (degrees of freedom such as dual arm that can reach out to the right and left with more extensive) try not blocked cupboard or the like objects.

Once you have determined the proper position, hold the bracket in position (make sure the position is correct) and then use a pencil to mark the holes provided on the bracket to the wall, mark with a pencil and filled in the hole to form streaks corresponding holes with bracket.

After marking the wall is completed, you are able to prepare your drill machine and start drilling the wall that has been marked. Before drilling, drill bits select the closest size of the hole and the size of the plastic nails (a kind of white plastic that will be incorporated into the wall, the retaining bracket function is as a television which will be paired with nut to hold the bracket in order not to fall) that is provided on the bracket (usually bracket is included in the packaging).

When you have started to drill try not too shallow or too deep, you can estimate the length of the plastic spikes with a depth that has been penetrated by the drill bit. Do not forget you have to clean up after drilling the borehole so as not to disturb it later when you pair a plastic nail into the wall, you can clean it using the drill bit by pulling out the dust.

Once you successfully perform drilling, it's time you put a bracket on the wall, you first need to install (enter) first nail into the plastic of the wall, after that you can install steel / iron retaining bracket (varies, depending on which bracket you are using) then followed with a nut to lock the holder into the plastic spikes.

After successfully retaining bracket is installed properly, you are able to rely on the retaining bracket arm with safe, you do not have to worry about your TV bracket and fall if you've set it up properly and does not exceed the maximum limit of the bracket (usually written on cardboard bracket). Do not forget to lock the retaining bracket (if any) to ensure the position of the bracket will not move or fall when bumped.

For bracket that attaches to the TV, make it more secure, you can set it up before the retaining bracket mounted to the bracket, so that when the television is already attached to the bracket you can easily put the television safely and comfortably in the bracket and you can enjoy watching a favorite television broadcasts you are.
