TV Wall Mounts

Choosing a TV wall mount starts with safety: match the mount to your TV’s VESA pattern, weight, screen size, wall construction, and the viewing position you want.

Choose the right TV wall mount type

Fixed and slim mounts

Fixed mounts keep the TV close to the wall and work well when the screen will be viewed from one main position. Leave enough space for cable connections and ventilation. A slim mount looks clean, but it can make later cable access harder.

Tilting mounts

A tilting mount can angle the screen downward when it is mounted above normal eye level. Avoid mounting a TV too high just because the mount can tilt; comfortable viewing height still matters.

Full-motion mounts

An articulating or full-motion mount lets you pull the TV away from the wall and aim it left or right. It is useful for corner installations and rooms with more than one seating area, but it places more leverage on the wall attachment.

Mounting safety checks

• Use a mount rated for the TV’s actual weight and VESA pattern.
• Fasten into wood studs, solid masonry, or an approved blocking system—not drywall alone.
• Use the mounting hardware appropriate for the wall type.
• Plan power and HDMI connections before the TV is hung.

If the wall is steel-stud construction, unusually weak, or you are unsure where structural support is located, consult a qualified installer.

FAQ

Can I mount a TV on drywall?

Not with drywall anchors alone. Use structural support appropriate for the mount and TV weight.

How high should a TV be mounted?

For seated viewing, place the center of the screen near eye level whenever practical.
