(for details on choosing a mount, visit this page: https://www.handymanstartup.com/choos.... First, you'll want to unbox the TV and the mount. Then, mount part of the wall mount bracket to the TV using the right screws for your TV. Your mount will come with lots of screws, most of which you won't use. Find the ones that work and throw the rest away. Then, connect the other part of the mount to the TV as well and measure from the bottom of the TV to the top screw hole on the part of the bracket that attaches to the wall. Write this dimension down so you can use it later. Next, use a tape measure and a level to figure out the center of the TV side to side and where you want the bottom of the TV to sit on the wall. Use the measurement from earlier to figure out how high to screw in the lag screws. Honestly, you should watch the video for this part. Now, locate the studs and mark them with a pencil. Then translate the marks you made for the height of the screws across the studs and pre-drill into the studs using a 3/16" or 7/32" drill bit. Make sure to drill into the center of the studs and make sure your mount will work with your screw locations. Now, using the lag screws that came with your TV wall mount bracket, attach the wall portion to the wall and tighten it until secure. Now make sure it's level and if it is, you are ready to hang your TV on the wall. Once your TV is mounted on the wall, you are ready to hide the wires which I'll cover in the next video. To remove the TV, pull out on the bottom and then lift it up to unhook the TV. In some cases, you will need two people to lift the TV on or off the wall. --Tools & Materials Needed ---------------------- TV wall mount I used: https://amzn.to/2YRMp3v List of tools at: https://www.handymanstartup.com/how-t... --About Handyman Startup -------------------------- Handyman Startup is a website designed to help you turn your DIY skills into a profitable handyman business.
