Jim’s Antenna’s wall mounting new Digital TV
So you’ve made the all-important decision about which type and size of television to buy, you take it home and now it’s time to install it.
The question is, do you want it to look like it did in the store? If so, how do you intend to install and tune your TV? Will you attempt the installation yourself?
Things to Consider Before You DIY
- Run wires through the wall for each TV input in your home. It certainly costs more but when you buy that high-end gaming console or a Blu-Ray player, you’ll thank your farsightedness then.
- Another way of future proofing your installation is by throwing an additional HDMI cable or two into your wall to future proof against any future purchases of gaming consoles, Apple TV etc ..
- When wall mounting your new TV, be careful not to place it too high. You may be tempted to install it at picture height but the ideal elevation should be such that the TV’s centre is around 45 inches from the floor. This height corresponds to our eye level at sitting position. Then there are people who have found that a slightly higher mounting leads to a more cinema-like experience and more immersive console gaming.
- New data cable and power outlets need to stay behind the TV, either at the top or bottom of the TV bracket. Data or video cables are low voltage and you can accommodate them in open-back boxes if there are additional cables you need to run after the first installation.
- If your wall has an uneven surface, use plywood or MDF that’s slightly larger than the bracket. Cut and mount the MDF properly to the stone or brick surface first and after you ensure things are in place, attempt installing the bracket onto that.
