How to Install Wall Plates For Your TV Wall Mount in the Wall

Purchasing a new flat panel television is an exciting experience, but it is not one that comes without some difficulty. One of the most common questions regarding flat panel televisions is "how do you use a TV Wall Mount and hide the wires?" In this article I am going to show you one of the most effective ways of doing this, which is installing a wall plate.

Tv Mounts Wall

There are a number of wall plates available in the market. With these plates you can install low voltage cables behind your TV, and they allow cable management internally rather than externally. These types of wall plates are excellent choices because they provide a clean and professional look. It is also important to note that there are different types of wall plates like outward, recessed and recessed with power outlet.

1. Cut a hole in the wall that is the exact size and shape of the wall plates you want to install for your TV wall mount. It is imperative that you use a tape measure and outline level lines to cut. Cutting into a wall can be a bit scary, so make sure that you take your time in order to get the perfect cut.

2. Place a metal carrier in the hole to provide an attachment for the wall plate. You want to make sure that you place this into the hole in a secure fashion, as it will serve as an anchor for the wall plate.

3. Route any cables through the carrier into the proper locations. You may have multiple cables coming from the back of the television, behind the TV wall mount, and through the carrier. If this is the case then you may want to hire an electrician to make sure that everything is installed properly.

4. Secure the carrier to the wall using the supplied screws. Make sure that you tighten the screws in order to ensure the cables stay in place.

5. Install the plate. Now you have your cables hidden in the wall and are ready to view your new flat panel television via your TV wall mount.

Cheetah Mounts AS3S 3 Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD, LED and Plasma TV with Cable Management System Overview

The AS3S is a tri-shelf cable management system. It can be used with or without a Plasma/LCD mount. This unit is designed to fit under your display and provide an on wall solution for other components such as cable boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and stereo components. There are three 2.25-Inch holes on the aluminum plate that allow you to cleanly run your cables up to your TV or down to another component, as well as out the bottom to an outlet. After reviewing our competition we realized that most shelving units need to be mounted directly into a wall stud. In most cases the wall stud is placed to the right or to the left of the display, which is not where most people prefer to have their shelves mounted. This is still the most secure option however, after significant research we’ve found that using the correct toggle bolts can allow you to mount your shelving unit wherever you see fit. With the combination of four of these toggle bolts the shelving unit is able to hold well over 70LBS safely. Each individual toggle bolt provides 75LBS of support. Please note that a good toggle bolt is still only as good as the quality of the drywall it is mounted into. If you have water damage or .25-Inch drywall please add a support for your shelving unit.

Flat Screen TV Wall Mount Installation Tips

Flat screen TVs are becoming more and more common and it's not difficult to see why. Not only do they free up a lot of space in your living room compared to the old, giant TVs but they also provide the best picture quality and look great in any room. Most people have their TV on a cabinet but the fact that LCD and plasma TVs are fairly light and slim makes them perfect for wall mounting. You can buy flat screen TV wall mounts from many different do-it-yourself (DIY) and home improvement stores, but is it possible to install a wall mount yourself?

Tv Mounts Wall

If you have a phobia of DIY, then it is probably best to ask someone you know to help you mount your LCD TV because it isn't a trivial job. Flat screen TV wall mounts aren't that difficult to install but they do require a certain level of skill. However, anyone who has done a bit of DIY in the past should be able to manage it as long as they are careful.

Tv Mounts Wall

The most important thing is to know exactly what is behind the part of the wall that you are going to drill into. You don't want to burst a pipe or cut through a wire! Make sure you read the entire safety manual that will come with the flat screen wall mount so that you are prepared for the job and know what you need to do.

There are certain tools that you will definitely need for wall mounting your TV. An obvious one is a power drill and the right drill bits for the job. You'll also need a level to make sure that the TV is going to be correctly hung, a measuring tape and a screwdriver. Depending on which wall bracket you buy, you might need other tools too, so read the manual and make sure you know exactly what you need before you start the installation.

Safety is important when you are doing any kind of DIY work and is the main reason you should leave it to a professional if you don't think you are up to the job. A flat screen TV that is wall mounted might look great but it is not worth risking your safety for. Some of the safety tips that you should think about include not running your TV power cable into your wall, turning off all the power to the areas you are going to be installing the wall mount into just in case you hit a wire and making sure that your ladder is safely secured should you need one.

TV Wall Mounts Verses TV Stands - Which is Best?

Mounting your flat screen TV on the wall has become incredibly fashionable over the past few years, but is it the right thing to do? A lot of people aren't sure whether they should take the plunge and suspend their TV from the wall, or whether they should stick to the more traditional TV stands. Both have their benefits and drawbacks and choosing one over the other can be a tough decision, so this article will compare both options to give you a clearer idea about which one is right for you.

Advantages Of TV Wall Mounts

Tv Mounts Wall

Using a wall mount means you can finally get rid of that bulky TV stand that is currently sitting in the corner; they are a fantastic way to reclaim some of your valuable floor space. There are literally hundreds of different models available so you are sure to find one with the exact features that you require. TV wall mounts really do add a touch of cutting edge, contemporary style to any room and can instantly transform old fashioned or out dated decor.

Disadvantages Of TV Wall Mounts

You can only mount your TV in certain places. Modern LCD and plasma TVs are still fairly heavy so you need to make sure the wall is strong enough to support your TV. Never fasten your mount to plasterboard because it is too weak and your TV will soon come crashing to the floor; instead you should only secure the mount to solid brickwork or wall studs.

The price of wall mounts can vary widely, and even though the cost may be small in comparison to the cost of your TV, a lot of people find that even the most basic types of mount can actually be relatively expensive for that they are. If you already have a cabinet to house your receivers and other equipment, it can look slightly odd to see the TV mounted to the wall instead of placed on top of the cabinet.

Advantages Of TV Stands

TV stands are very flexible since they can be placed anywhere in the room and can be moved from one location to another if you ever decide to re-arrange the furniture or redecorate. The majority of TV stands available feature several shelves or cupboards making them the ideal solution for housing all of your other home entertainment equipment such as DVD/ Blu-ray players and satellite boxes in one place.

Disadvantages Of TV Stands

TV stands can be quite bulky and often dominate the room when floor space is at a premium. When using a stand, you often have to arrange the furniture based on the available space left over, rather than on the optimal viewing position. Unless you are lucky enough to have a dedicated home theatre room that is off limits to kids and pets, your TV and other equipment is likely to be at risk from being knocked over. Stands can be quite fragile and it only takes a small bump in order to tip them over and send thousands of dollars worth of equipment crashing to the floor.

Which Is Best?

Choosing between a TV wall mount and a TV stand is totally dependent on your personal requirements. TV stands are good for those people who may not have a wall that is strong enough to support the weight of their TV set, or of course for those who don't like the look of wall mounted TVs. However, TV wall mounts are a great way to maximize space in smaller rooms and also make sure that your precious TV is out of the way of children and pets.

To Mount Or Not to Mount - TV Stand Vs Wall Mounting

So, you just bought that new Plasma TV.  Now you are forced to make a decision - do I go for glamour and mount this thing on my living room wall or go the traditional route with a TV stand.  Each option has its risks and its rewards, so here we will examine the pros and cons of each.

Tv Mounts Wall

The Vain Glory of Wall Mounting

Tv Mounts Wall

Doesn't it just make sense if your TV is only a few inches deep to mount that sucker right above the fireplace for all to see?  Maybe, but consider what it takes to wall mount a flat screen.

1.  Purchase a wall mounting kit from a Plasma Dealer.

2.  Make sure said kit fits your TV.  If you don't do this, it will either cost you time or plaster.

3.  Locate the studs behind the wall.  Again, if you miss this, you will be the proud owner of a smashed TV set.  The screws must go into studs, not just sheet rock.

4.  Make sure that you measure and level everything BEFORE you screw any holes.  This will be very hard to change later.  In fact, I dare say you won't do it a second time, but rather you will live with a slightly-croocked mounted Plasma or you will just give up and buy a TV stand.

5.  Now, actually screw the mount into the wall.

6.  Cut a hole behind the TV to run wires through and another hole wherever the wires need to come out.  Fish the wires through the holes using either a snake tool or a stretched wire hanger.  Yes, I'm serious about this step.  If you're going to mount it, mainly for looks, don't leave wiring showing.  It just won't be worth it.

7.  Attach the pieces of the mounting system that affix to the TV.  Then, gently set the television into the mount bracket.  You may want another person there with you for this.

8.  Test everything.  Make sure the TV works, the mount is secure, and the television is secure in the mount.

The Blessed Simplicity of the TV Stand

Well, that was interesting.  Now, let's review the steps involved in setting up a TV stand.

1.  Purchase a TV stand that best fits the location at which you wish to display your TV.  Make sure you take into account the weight and depth of the television, as well as any accessories you might attach to it.

2.  Have it delivered and setup.  Sure, you could drive it home yourself and put it together, but you have better things to do in life - like watch your huge Plasma-screen TV.

3.  Place your television on the stand.  Drop wires behind it and attach them to the sockets or external units as needed.

4.  Go get some wings.  It's time for the game.
