I love your videos! quick tip: if you put one lag bolt in to the bracket and sinch it down tight enough that the bracket stays against the wall but loose enough to adjust the bracket. You can then find level by moving the bracket with your level on top and then put your other lag bolt in after you found level. It makes for an exact location with less measuring and saves time.

When determining where the tv should go, I like to use the box. Usually the picture on the box is pretty close to actual size. I cut the side of the box off and hold it on the wall so the customer can see it on the wall. Even if the picture isn’t true to size the box is pretty close.

Very helpful, well done and I especilly love the end sequence of things to make the installation fool-proof. You are saving many people a good amount of money by showing them just how easy it is (in most cases) to install solo. Thank you!!!

Great tutorial. Mounting an Insignia 39” and Samsung 58” this week. Video helps. /Bklyn👑

that's the best tv mount video I seen so far

A good way to be absolutely sure you are drilling into the center of the stud for the lag screw (some stud finders may not be too accurate), is to drill a few small holes (say 1/8") either side of where you think the stud is. The bit will slip right in through the drywall if you are not on the stud, so you slide over and drill again until you find the side of the stud and you will feel when the bit hits the stud. Now you know clearly the edge of the stud so you can put the lag screw right in the center for solid mounting. The little holes will be unnoticeable behind the tv mount.

Hi i heave a question I’m planning on doing an accent wall where my tv goes so should I mount my bracket first or it can go on top of the wood

When picking my TV's height off the floor I realized that the recommended "eye level" suggestions from the internet made the view from the kitchen of the bottom of the screen blocked by the "eye level" heads of people sitting on the couch. I stuck an above average height person on the couch, went into the kitchen and sighted just above thier head to the wall where the TV was going to mount, and that's how I picked the bottom of my screen. Moral of the story is to consider all possible viewing locations before installing blocking and/or drilling holes.

Yesterday I mounted a 65" to an outside wall..I used tapcon,,very solid.

how to pick a Samsung 65 in Wall Mount? I'm moving to a much smaller apt from where I live now so I want to mount my tv because I''ll need every space I can get. So what you suggest? Also I'm moving into APT that has metal and concrete bldg. What's your best suggestion for mounts, I dont want something that extends from wall too far. But I also don't want to have any trouble with bright lights and viewing angles either. In addition my mom after dying from Covid I took her old 43 in lg while I was waiting to replace my old lg 50 inch that I loved but fuse went after 10 yrs of ownership. So what do you suggest there too? thx.

Go with a full motion tv wall mount you’ll be glad you did.

You can do it!

Thanks for posting this video. I look forward to seeing what other videos you have. It seems that there is one big problem that you didn't account for in this installation:....What if you had HDMI cable connections on the back of the TV that extend directly back towards the wall (vs come out from the side)....if the TV is too close too the wall...1) you wouldn't be able to plug in your cables or worse 2) if you installed those cables prior to mounting the TV you could snap off one or more of the HDMI plugs on the TV when you attempted to hang the TV. I've watched other videos on how to hang TV's and they've pointed this out. And those videos have suggest the use spacers. I'm no expert at this but that does seem like something you need to consider in the mounting/hanging process. Also it might have been helpful to point out other hanging options if you can't reach studs for both hanging points (e.g., the mount has limited locations (holes) where you can insert the attachment screws into the wall). Obviously attaching at the studs is ideal but if that isn't possible there other screws that you could use that would allow you to attach a TV to just dry wall (e.g., screws that can hold up to 70lbs on a drywall attachment.).

They don't look as good or have as much flexability, but they allow you to skip drilling into the wall.

I'm keen on a flat mount like that but wouldn't it be a pain to change cables around? Not that you should have to do that often.

It is more difficult than an articulating mount, but articulating mounts often end up crooked because they move.

Hi I watched this video as I needed some help with putting up a tv bracket and hadn’t done much drilling previously. Yesterday I drilled the 2 required holes for my bracket the grey wall plugs that were supplied fit fine, I noticed early on that the screws were quite large in fact larger than the plugs. When it came to screwing it in the screws would only go so far. Do I need longer grey wall plugs or shorter screws?

@StayHandy

Don't use the wall plugs unless you are mounting to stone or brick. They are NOT for drywall. If you have drywall, you need to find the stud and mount to that directly with the lag screws.

Which Samsung tv is this ? Crystal ir Qled?

Thanks for this helpful video. Recently, I've been running into the problem of screwing in 2.5 inch screws (63mm, M6.3) for a low-profile TV mount and could use some advice. It seems to stop right about the 1.5 inch line, even with a successfully drilled (no resistance) 2.5 inch pilot hole. Checked our 'frame walk' video and don't see anything problematic (no pipes, metal, etc.). Maybe I can ask for your help to confirm this - I can share a photo of the frame with an arrow pointing to where I'm installing the TV mount. That would be appreciated, just let me know where to post/share the photo. Otherwise, I don't know why I am unable to screw into the wall further than 1.5 inches.

Absolute nightmare if brick, why well you now have metal studs in the wall, plus if you're not happy with the position your screwed. Best have a rail system that allows you to raise or lower or position the TV, but no such thing exists other then a trolley

You don't need that number. The best way to get the height of the TV is have someone sit where they will be viewing it, and then hold your tape measure up to represent the TV (as shown in video). Sometimes you want your TV very high and sometimes you want it below eye level while sitting on the coach.

I had to exit outta this one immediately after you picked up the driver drill and called it an impact 😂😂😂😂

All this info is fine I just don't like this style of mount used here... Tv mounts are so cheap get one with some movement left or right, maybe some decent tilt to adjust for sunlight.. and lastly most LCD TV are VA panel ( with bad viewing angles) .. SO.. it really suck if you have guest over and they see the TV washed out and you can't move it to adjust.... These are big issues that can be solved by just picking a different mount... Moveable and none moveable these days cost about the same.. Maybe 5-10$ difference at most...

You called a drill an impact driver. There is a very big difference.
