Is It Easy to Mount a Tv

Your dad never had to go searching around for the right TV wall mount. When he was growing up, your grandparents had a cabinet TV.  It was so dignified, sitting there in its wood case. There had a presence – it really occupied its place in the room. It was furniture.

That old chestnut that dredges up memories of shag carpets and mothballs couldn't be farther from the expansive, sleek, lightweight televisions mounted on our walls today, which provide exponentially more screen room with none of the footprint. Our TVs are part of the Internet of Things. You can watch in three dimensions.

The only thing is that you've got to somehow magically conjure the TV up onto that wall. Sound like a challenge? You're not alone. We've gone ahead and asked our pros, and below are five ways not to mount your TV – because sometimes you don't want to learn a lesson the hard way.

If you're neither handy nor an expert on mounting TV to drywall, don't fret! Book a TV mounting service with Puls, and let our technicians tackle the process for you. We offer a wide variety of around-the-clock, at-your-door TV installation services, so you can enjoy your mounted TV without the necessary labor.

Location, Location, Location

man planning where to hang tv wall mountThe first thing you want to consider when installing a TV wall mount is… well, location. There's a lot to this one, from viewing angle and sun exposure, to where you're going to keep your connected devices, to the location of the nearest power outlet (believe us, you don't want to finish mounting your TV and then realize the plug won't make it to the wall). Then there's the issue of where all your cables are going to go – hanging cables can be an eyesore. It's even a bad idea to mount your TV above a fireplace, as counter-intuitive as that might be.

Don't Go in Dry

A drill, the proper sized drill bit, screwdriver bit, and a stud finder are among the required supplies, and if you haven't been doing a lot around the house lately, you might want to brush up on how to use them.

Load Bearing Walls

Regular old drywall simply cannot support the weight of your new television, and despite what your friends might tell you, even if you use the world's biggest anchor, it's only a matter of time before humpty dumpty comes tumbling down, or whatever the kids are saying these days.

Sad as it may be, you're going to absolutely need to find a stud to hang that television mount, or find a wall made out of something more substantial. We recommend that you speak to a professional (or at least really trust the person you ask at the hardware store) about the specifics of your situation before hanging your TV mount.

Just the Right Mount

Or that for several hours each afternoon, the searing reflection of the sun threatens to scorch your innocent corneas.

If you're going to need a swiveling mount, make sure you know beforehand. Conversely, if you think you'd prefer a more stable mount, make sure that your ports are suitably situated before drilling into your wall. You will need extra help to lift, and properly mount your TV to the wall mount.

Left to Your Own Devices

We aren't going to lie – there will be remotes. Many of them.

You'll see enough triple A batteries to last you a lifetime. You'll spend endless minutes scrolling through options and selecting languages. You might not know what you're doing, but the textbook-sized instruction manual will be menacing enough to keep you at bay. Maybe your instincts are good. Maybe you've got a tech-savvy friend. Or maybe…
