Wall mounting
The most common mistake is mounting the TV too high.
- Height: the middle of the screen at about eye level when seated, roughly 100–110 cm from the floor. Above a fireplace is usually too high.
- Bracket: match the VESA hole pattern on the back of the TV and the weight rating.
- Wall: use the right fixings for brick, concrete or plasterboard; on plasterboard, fix into the timber or metal studs.
- Cables: a cable cover or in-wall kit made for low-voltage cables. Don't run mains cables inside the wall yourself; use a qualified electrician.
If in doubt about the wall, get a professional installer: a falling TV is dangerous, especially around children.
