How to Wall Mount Your TV

Measure your wall space, and find the centre of your wall, once you have found the right spot, mark it in using tape or light pencil markings
Use a laser level to make sure that the position of your bracket will be level. Again, once you have found the right spot, mark it in
Find the wall studs using a stud finder
Mount the bracket on the studs, attach the bracket to the wall using a level to make sure that the bracket is level on the wall, and an impact driver to screw the bracket onto the wall
Attach the brackets (arms) to the back of your TV, and use a screw driver to screw it in
Conceal cabling by cutting holes in the plaster and put a yellow tongue down the wall to drag the cables through
Mount the TV on the wall and make sure that the arms fit securely on the top of the bracket
Connect the cables to the back of the TV
Secure the safety screws on the bottom of the TV to ensure that it can’t fall off the wall
Use a tape measure to ensure that the TV is centered on the wall
Use a screen cleaner to clean all the finger prints off the TV
Connect all the cables to your media devices
Make sure all devices are connected properly and the TV is tuned
