Mounting a TV on a wall may seem like a daunting challenge if you’re like me. Put a hammer and nail in my hands and I’m ready to run. The trick is to buy a TV mount that can handle your TV.
It is a good idea to mount a TV especially if your TV is one of those ultra-thin panels. Mounting your TV on a wall will look fantastic and save space as well. What’s important is to pick the right wall mount.
The right kind of wall mount will make the job surprisingly easy. You need to buy the one that your wall can handle so you must know what your wall is made of and one suited to the specifications of your TV.
Let’s take a look at the different wall mounts currently available.
Most TV wall mounts are well-suited for a drywall. They also come with the hardware you will need including drywall anchors and bolts.
If you’re installing your wall mount to a plaster or masonry surface, you’ll need stronger hardware that won’t be included with the wall mount. Be careful not to install the wall mount over a fireplace.
