Installing LCD TV wall mounts may appear as simple as mounting a photo frame or a piece of art on your wall but it's not really that easy. However with a little caution and planning, you can do it yourself. Follow these simple guidelines for successful installation of an LCD TV wall mount.
Select The Wall - The first step is to select the wall on which the TV is to be mounted. You can choose the wall in your living room where it will be seen the most or it can be a wall in your bedroom for that lazy, leisurely TV watching. Having decided on the wall, handle the tricky issue of selecting which section of the wall. The typical construction of walls is either wooden beams known as studs or metal frames, which provide strength and support. While installing LCD TV wall mounts, it is advised not to rely on drywall alone and instead install on studs for greater support. You can use a stud finder to locate a stud in your wall where your mount can be hung. Always ensure that the mounting hardware penetrates deep inside the stud. If your wall is made of bricks or concrete, your job is easier. Solid walls of concrete or blocks are strong enough to hold the weight of TV and you can confidently install your mount without worrying about finding a stud. For walls with metal frames instead of studs, use toggle bolts that are easily available in most hardware stores.

Decide The Height - The next step in installing your wall mount is to decide the height at which you want your TV to be mounted. You can choose the height that makes the best viewing angle by eying it up. As a general rule, TV viewing is best with an angle of 180 degrees between your eyes and the TV. This means if you draw an imaginary line from the center of the TV screen, it should be horizontal to eye level. For the LCD TV wall mounts that give freedom of maneuverability to TV, you can even decide on a higher level. Tilting of the TV screen in this case compensates for the difference between the TV and your eyes.
Drill The Hole - The final step before drilling the wall is to identify the drilling spots on wall by making pencil markings. Measure the height from the floor and mark the wall. Repeat this for subsequent marks, always keeping the distance from the floor, the same. Ensure that your measuring tape is vertical and not slanted. It's wise to measure twice than to drill twice. So check and recheck until you are sure.
Last but not the least, carefully read the instructions provided with the TV wall mount and follow them while using above-mentioned tips as a general guideline. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the show!
