TV Mounting Safety: What You Need to Know

January 5, 2024ConnectMyTV Team

Mounting a TV might seem like a simple DIY project, but improper installation can lead to accidents and damage. Here's what you need to know:

Weight Capacity

Modern TVs are lighter than ever, but you still need appropriate hardware. The wall mount must support at least 1.5 times the TV's weight for safety margin.

Wall Stud Location

Always mount into wall studs when possible. Studs provide the strongest support. If studs aren't in the ideal location, use heavy-duty anchors designed for drywall.

Proper Hardware

Never use cheap or generic brackets. Use hardware rated for your TV's exact weight and size. Using undersized hardware is a safety hazard.

Level Installation

A TV must be perfectly level. Even slight tilts can become dangerous over time and damage the mount.

Cable Management

Loose cables create tripping hazards and can damage your TV connections. Professional installation includes proper cable concealment.
