TV Wall Mount FAQs

Your TV must be mounted so that your eyes align with the upper two-thirds of the screen from the start. This mounting height ensures optimal viewing comfort and a clear line of sight regardless of room size. The TV’s placement is defined by your seated eye level and the screen’s dimensions, and a tilting or full-motion mount provides precise adjustment options for a consistently comfortable viewing experience.

You can mount a TV over a fireplace, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Refer to your product manual for recommendations or placement instructions. Check if mounting your TV over a fireplace will void the warranty. Fireplace heat could damage your television. A mantel can help deflect the heat from your TV, though soot and smoke may still be an issue. A TV mounted over a fireplace may also be too high for comfortable viewing.

Most homes have drywall, which cannot support a mounted TV on its own. You’ll need to anchor screws into the studs backing the drywall. Most studs are made of wood, although some may be made of metal. Wooden studs are generally strong enough to hold a TV and are easier to work with. Use regular lag bolts that screw into the wooden stud directly.

Mounting a TV on the wall takes between two and four hours. For a smaller TV with a simple fixed mount, you might be done in under an hour. However, if you're installing a larger TV with a full-motion mount over a brick fireplace—especially if you're adding new electrical outlets or hiding the wires inside the wall—it can take considerably longer.

Finding a professional to mount your television is essential for ensuring a secure and precise installation. Local experts with proven experience and the right equipment will safely secure your TV to the wall. Research trusted service providers by reviewing customer feedback, asking for recommendations from neighbors, and verifying credentials to guarantee that your installation is performed correctly and safely.

Mounting your TV will require drilling holes, but when executed correctly, it does not cause significant damage to your wall. The installation demands precise placement of small-diameter holes confined to the area of the mounting bracket. By using the proper hardware and accurately locating wall studs, the installation remains secure, and any minor repairs, costing between $10 and $30, are economical and straightforward.
