Tilt TV brackets are very popular. It is very rare you will be able to install a TV that is eye level for your viewing enjoyment. The more common location on the wall would be in a position which is high up and cannot be reached by children. The TV bracket should be attached to the wall in a sufficiently high location such that when the TV is mounted, it is beyond the reach of children. In some instances, you may even want the TV to be above the reach of most adults so they don't touch the screen or hit it accidentally. When choosing a TV wall bracket, the better option is a TV Tilt Wall Bracket. It is slightly more expensive than a fixed wall bracket but it provides more flexibility when deciding where to attach the TV brackets.
The first thing you should do when purchasing your TV wall brackets is to check the contents of the box. If you are not in a rush, you should open the box at the store in full view of the attendant. The two of you should go through the contents carefully. If the attendant is familiar with installing a TV bracket, he may even be able to give you some tips as you go through the parts. Any missing or defective parts can immediately be replaced, and it saves you the time and effort of returning to the store for the replacement parts. The normal contents in a TV wall bracket box are a large steel wall back plate, two arms that screw into the back of the TV, a full set of screws, bolts, wall plugs, washers and spacers. Some stores provide items for both cement and wood walls. You have to differentiate what items are applicable to each type of wall and determine if they are complete. If you are definite on your wall type, segregate the other items so you avoid any mix-ups during the installation. A detailed instruction manual will help guide you through the installation process.

Decide on the exact location of the TV and mark the wall in the center of where you want the screen to be. Take the wall plate and center it over the mark you placed on the wall. Use the level to make sure the bracket is straight and even. Mark the six fixing points through the TV bracket back plate onto the wall. Make sure the marks are indelible and can be easily seen. Drill the fixing holes to the required length. It may be slightly deeper than needed, but that should not cause any problem. When drilling the holes, take note if the cement was solid or loose. You can test the strength of the cement wall by using an ordinary drill and try to drill a hole through the wall. If you are able to do so, that indicates the wall is not pure cement blocks and you may need to apply some epoxy glue in the holes to strengthen the screws. You might need to drill additional holes to ensure the TV wall mount is firmly secured to the wall. Some people recommend you apply the epoxy glue regardless of the wall type. It costs slightly more and takes some time and effort to apply it but it minimizes any potential risk of the TV wall mounts being pulled out of the wall. Insert the plugs into the drill holes and fit the wall plate using the bolts included in the package. Bolt everything tightly.
Fit the arms on the flat screen. Use bolts, washers and spacers to make sure everything is tightly in place. Life the TV with the arms and mount it on the back plate. Connect the power cords and cables. You might have to do this ahead if the TV mount is flush on the wall and there is only a small space between the TV and the brackets. Tilt the TV screen to the correct angle. Sit down, relax and enjoy the TV programs.
