An overview of basic ways to wall-mount your TV without a bracket

If it is not possible to purchase this device, then in this case, you should figure out how to quickly and with minimal cost to hang the TV on the wall without using a bracket. This can be done in the following ways.

With a square thin-walled metal profile

To do this, you need a square pipe 20 × 20 mm and 15 × 15 mm, two M8 bolts, 4 M8 nuts. The manufacturing process for such a device is as follows.

Photo	Description of work
	We cut pipes to size: from a profile with a section of 15 × 15 mm we make two blanks with a length slightly more than the distance between two holes located in the same vertical plane for fastening on back wall TV; from a profile with a section of 20 × 20 mm we also make two blanks with a length of 3-5 cm less than the previous ones.
	We drill holes in the pipes: in a profile with a section of 15 × 15 mm, we make three holes with an 8 mm drill, two of which are located at a distance equal to that between two located in a vertical plane on the rear wall of the TV, and one is 5-7 cm below one of the profile ends; in a profile of 20 × 20 mm we drill two through holes by 8 mm with an indent from the ends of 2-3 cm. Having made an indent from one of the extreme holes, three more are drilled: the upper one with a drill large diameter (14-16mm), the bottom two - with a drill of 8 mm.
	Three holes of different diameters on each profile with a cross section of 20 × 20 mm are combined into one using pliers and a drill.
	All holes for deburring are processed with a round file, holes with a diameter of 8 mm are additionally reamed to a small depth with a drill with a diameter of 10 mm. The workpieces are thoroughly cleaned from all sides with sandpaper.
	Two parallel faces of the M8 nut are turned on emery so that it fits tightly inside the profile with a section of 20 × 20 mm.
	The workpieces are degreased and painted black powder paint for metal.
	Insert the turned nut inside the 15 × 15 mm profile and place it opposite the hole located between the outermost holes. We screw the locknut onto the bolt, insert it into the above hole and screw it into the nut located inside the profile. For the final fixation of the bolt, we tighten it with the upper locknut.
	We fasten the 15 × 15 mm profiles with bolts to the mounting holes on the back of the TV.
	Two 20 × 20 mm profiles are attached to the wall at the same distance as thinner profiles attached to the back of the TV.
	The TV is mounted on the wall - the bolt heads are inserted into the corresponding holes on the profiles fixed to the wall, after which the fixture is slightly lowered under the weight of the device and securely fixes it to the wall.

With two corners

It will take two aluminum corner 30 × 30 mm, 4 M8 bolts, 2 M8 nuts, 4 M8 washers.

Photo	Description of work
	On one of the corner shelves we make two holes with a similar distance between the two mounting holes located in the horizontal plane on the back of the TV. On the second, we make holes with a little more distance.
	The second corner is 10-15 cm longer than the first. On one of its shelves, two pear-shaped holes (hangers) are made - for this, a hole is first made with large, and then with smaller drills. On the second shelf, holes are made with the same distance as on the same one at the first corner.
	The corners are folded together with shelves with matching holes and bolted together.
	The resulting structure is bolted to the back of the TV.
	On the wall at a distance equal to the same, we make two holes between the suspensions, we hammer dowels into them and screw in the screws.
	By inserting the caps of the screws into the hangers, we mount the TV on the wall.

How to make a TV bracket on the wall with your own hands

In addition to purchased models, a wall mount for a TV can be made by hand.

From the fixing rail

A reliable and simple LCD TV holder can be made from a simple furniture bus using the following technology.

Photo	Description of work
	We drill two holes in the wall, insert dowels into them and screw in rectangular hooks (crutches).
	The rail with the mounting holes pre-drilled at a certain distance is screwed to the back of the TV with bolts.
	To prevent the back cover from touching the wallpaper, bolts are screwed into the lower mounting holes, whose caps are closed with plastic plugs.
	To prevent the caps of the bolts and plugs from damaging the wallpaper, we glue them with special paper stickers.
	The TV is hung on hooks and connected to the power supply, the Internet, cable TV.

From a wooden plank

A fairly easy-to-manufacture and reliable mount for an LCD TV can be made with your own hands from a wooden plank according to the following instructions.

Photo	Description of work
	We fold and clamp in a vice two boards 400-450 mm long, 25-30 mm thick so that the long edge of one of them protrudes by 5-10 mm.
	We mount the TV on the wall, combining the cuts on two boards. In order for the technician to jump out of the mount, two additional screws are screwed on the sides.

How to choose a TV bracket: video

How to hang a TV: photo

Today, TVs in terms of their technical and external characteristics have gone far from their predecessors with picture tubes and a volumetric rear. The current video equipment looks more like a panel, as it is called, by the way - it is wide enough, has a minimum depth and frame. It is these design features of modern TVs that allow you to place equipment anywhere and in any way - on a bedside table, in a living room set, even on the ceiling. However, the most common location for this device is regular wall... How to hang a TV correctly will be discussed in this article.

Choosing a place for the TV

Since a wall-mounted television panel in most cases is fixed for a sufficiently long period and subsequently rarely changes its location, it is rather difficult to choose a corner for its placement. Especially if the apartment has small size and filled with furniture. Therefore, before one or in a corner, it is necessary to carefully consider the place where it will be located.

When choosing a location, you should be guided by the following factors:

The volume and dimensions of the television panel;

When is it planned (or how often) the rearrangement of furniture in the room where the TV will be located is planned;

Quality and specifications walls where we hang the TV (on drywall, for example - not the most good option, but monolithic concrete wall perfect);

Avoid narrow and cramped niches, as well as furniture standing close to each other (since the equipment will be constantly limited by walls located on four sides, there is a high probability of its premature failure as a result of overheating);

How much the TV will fit into the interior of the room, how it is planned to design it later.

How to hang an LCD TV or plasma panel

Of course, the TV can be hung with the help of specialists. As a rule, such services for an additional fee can be ordered in the same store where the equipment was purchased. Professionals will help you decide at what height to hang the TV and in what way. However, it costs quite a lot of money, and the larger the panel, the higher the price for this service.

If you know how to handle measuring tools and a screwdriver, then you can easily cope with this procedure on your own, spending no more than two hours on all the work. After the place of the future deployment of the TV has been chosen, you can proceed directly to the process of its installation.

TV specifications

Examine the rear of the TV carefully. Pay attention to how many notches there are for the fasteners, as well as their location. The next item is the weight of the device itself and its dimensions. The heavier the panel, the more secure the fixing must be.

Mentally "try" the TV on the wall and determine how convenient it will be to connect it to the network, antenna and additional equipment, as well as hide the wires. At the same time, do not forget about the ventilation holes - air access to them should be as open as possible. All of the above characteristics can be found in the passport for your equipment.

Mount selection

Your next step is to choose a mount or bracket with which the TV will hang on the wall. In general, for each specific brand and model, there is, or at least is recommended by the manufacturer, a separate type of mounts. They are all standardized, but the most popular is the category with the abbreviation VESA.

All fasteners are of several types:

1. Hard.
2. Inclined.
3. Turning.

Rigid fasteners are a cantilever system, the elements of which will always be in the same strictly fixed position. Tilt and swivel types mean a movable system, that is, a bracket. Let's consider each type of mount in more detail.

Rigid fasteners

Provided that the TV is hung on a rigid mount, there will be a gap of several centimeters between the device and the wall. Since it will not be possible to adjust the tilt of the panel, you need to decide right away at what height to hang the TV, so that subsequently neither the sun's rays nor the rearrangement of furniture in the room interfere with viewing. The main advantages of this type of fastening are its reliability and low cost.

Tilt brackets

This type of bracket can be installed slightly higher than usual. The tilt angle of this system is quite acceptable (about 15 degrees, depending on the bracket model), so it will be comfortable to watch TV both sitting on the sofa and lying on the floor. Regardless of the level at which you hang the TV, the distance between it and the wall will in any case be at least 10 centimeters.

Swivel brackets

Swivel brackets are the most functional of all of the above. They allow you to tilt, rotate and slide the panel in all directions. Since the entire system consists of movable elements, the swing arm should be selected from materials that are as reliable as possible. It should also support the panel's weight slightly more than your existing video device. The only drawback of such fasteners is the high price.

How high should the TV be hung?

The question of at what height to hang the TV is quite reasonable. Firstly, the comfortable height is different for everyone, and secondly, it depends on the type of room where the panel will be located.

The most optimal location is considered to be an LCD TV or plasma panel at eye level. However, nothing prevents you from hanging it slightly higher or slightly lower - depending on how you are used to watching TV, what dimensions the room has and the equipment itself.

So, it is recommended to hang a panel with a very impressive diagonal in a large room higher than usual, since the viewing angle narrows with distance. However, placing a TV set too high will soon cause leakage and pain in the neck and back.

If the room has furniture with low seating, or you prefer to watch TV lying or sitting on the floor, lower it lower. In any case, try to estimate different variants and place the video equipment as it is convenient for you.

How far is the TV set in the kitchen? If you want to hang the panel in your kitchen, place it above the middle level and as far away from the stove and cutting table as possible. In this room, the TV, as a rule, serves as a background, and they watch it there from time to time. In addition, a higher position will protect it from splashes and grease stains during cooking.

How to hang a TV in the bedroom? Since this is a place for physical and psychological rest and relaxation, then you need to place the TV here with special comfort. Than smaller bedroom, the more modest the panel dimensions should be.

How you are accustomed to watching TV in the bedroom will directly affect its height. If the semi-seated position is most familiar to you, hang the TV in front of where you normally sit, at eye level. On the side of the bed, the panel is placed in the event that it is more convenient to watch your favorite films and programs, lying on its side. It is best to use tilt brackets for this.

In a large bedroom with a wide bed, the TV can be hung in the corner, slightly higher than usual. If you still use the multipurpose arm, you are unlikely to experience any discomfort when viewing, regardless of your posture.

To correctly determine at what height to hang the TV in the living room, there is one simple way. Sit where you plan to look at the screen and close your eyes. After a few seconds, open them and look straight ahead. Notice the place where your eyes first rushed - this is where the middle of the TV panel screen should be located.

How to hang the TV on the bracket?

Regardless of which type of bracket you choose, it will consist of two parts: the first is mounted on the wall, the second is on the TV. The whole process of fixing the television panel is as follows:

1. The part for attaching to the device itself is screwed to the back of the case with the screws that come with the bracket.
2. Measure the distance between the ends of the TV and the mounts.
3. Mark on the wall a place for the second part of the bracket using the information with measurements.
4. Using a drill, make holes in the wall at the place of the future attachment of the second part and screw it with screws.
5. The last step is to install the TV on the wall part and fix both parts of the bracket according to the instructions.

For greater safety and ease of installation on the wall, we recommend using following tips specialists:

Use drills 1/8-inch smaller than the diameter of the mounting screws to securely mount the structure to the wall;

Do not hang TVs weighing more than 30 kilograms on plasterboard partitions and walls;

The panel weighing more than 20 kilograms and more than 1.5 meters wide is easier to install in pairs;

Connect the cables only after the TV is mounted on the wall;

When you turn the TV on an inclined or swivel arm, the power cable must not be bent or pulled, otherwise it may break and, as a result, fire;

Before installing the TV, check where the electrical wiring runs in the wall; this can be done using special equipment and a technical plan for the apartment;

For each type of wall, use specially designed dowels;

The wires from the TV can be hidden in a strobe or in a box.

A TV that can be hung on the wall solves many problems: with its help it is easy to hide cosmetic defects in the masked area, it significantly saves space, and it looks completely different than on a stand on a nightstand. In addition, the panel on the wall can always be played up with decor and create a special accent on its presence in the room, setting the tone for the entire room and bringing interesting design solutions to life.

Preparing for installation - 3 main rules

In order to properly hang the TV, you must adhere to three main rules:

• Study in detail the characteristics of the equipment. Directly for mounting any kind of TV, you need to know its diagonal, weight and type of TV. This information must be in the documentation of the purchased equipment. If the weight of your device is more than 25 kilograms, then the installation must be carried out by two people.
• We determine with the type of wall on which the equipment will be installed. It is usually made of wood, brick, concrete, or made of plasterboard. At the same time, a selection of tools, brackets, fasteners and accessories is made, which will be needed directly for installation.
• Scout location electrical wiring on this wall. This will help us better hide wires and cables, and also not disturb common system electrical wiring.

Let's start with the good things, namely the benefits. Manufacturers of modern TVs help us in this. They are working on making our TV screen as compact as possible. By doing this, he allows us to save space, which will make our interior more spacious. And the flat screen will be the highlight of our interior, it will perfectly decorate the wall, and absolutely, it does not matter for your interior retro style or modern.

Also, an additional plus is that modern equipment is more resistant to mechanical damage. Therefore, if your TV falls to the floor, then there are many chances that it will remain in working order.

Now we can talk about the disadvantages.

There are 3 main disadvantages of a wall-mounted TV (during installation):

• In the event of a fall, for example due to a poorly secured bracket, your TV may completely slide out of its working position.
• Hanging the TV on a wall is more difficult than just placing it on a table or stand, so you will need the help of another person, especially if the entire TV is large enough.
• It is strictly forbidden to fix a TV weighing 35 kilograms or more on weak walls (plasterboard), as well as above heating devices.

Despite the disadvantages of a wall-mounted TV, it is very popular and is quite simple to install, if you follow the basic rules for its installation.

Types of fasteners

Wall mount, the same bracket is a special mount that serves as a mount modern TV on the selected wall. There are 4 types of fasteners in total, their main difference is that each of them can adjust the position of the screen in its own way, thus increasing the comfort of watching TV.

Before buying a bracket, you need to be sure that it will fit your TV model. To do this, you need to ask what is the standard for the bracket and compare it with the standard for mounting our modern TV.

Check out 4 well-known wall mounts.

A rigid low-profile mount is a mount that secures your TV 10-20 centimeters from the wall. The rigid mount does not have an adjustment function, that is, after installation, with its help we will not be able to turn or tilt the TV. For this type of mounting, we advise you to hang your TV at head level, for the convenience of watching various programs and TV shows.

The advantages of this type are low price, safety, and ease of installation.

The disadvantages include several factors. There is no position adjustment, as well as difficult access to the TV connectors, which are located behind it.

With this mount, you can change the tilt angle of your TV, set it at the level of your eyes, thus adding to the comfort of watching TV. The distance from the wall to the bracket is up to 15 centimeters. The angle of inclination is different for different brackets, but generally it is in the range of 10-25 degrees.

The advantages of this type are affordable price, simplicity of design, and the most important thing is that it allows you to adjust the tilt of your TV.

This mount is quite popular in various offices and institutions, as it is convenient to provide advertising to visitors and colleagues on it. It rotates the TV 360 degrees and also tilts the screen. To use them, you must have high ceilings.

With the pluses, I think everything is clear, but the minuses include the difficulty in installation, as well as in the cable supply, which, most likely, will be easier to put under the ceiling than lower to the floor.

We list these restrictions in the following list:

• Allowed to install only thin TVs such as LCD, LED and Plazma
• On your TV, all connectors should be exclusively on the sides
• The mounting height should be no more than 1.5 meters;
• It is very difficult to move the TV after installation;
• Opposite wall must be covered.

If you are going to a brick-based wall, then you can safely proceed with the installation. But here we will give you some useful tips:

• The television should be hung so that it is at eye level, naturally when you are in a seated position.
• The distance from the TV to your eyes should be equal to the TV diagonal multiplied by 3.
• You do not need to calculate the length of the bolts, since each set with the TV includes bolts of a certain length. They should be used.
• On the opposite side, it is necessary to mount the plate (iron) about 5 cm higher and wider beyond the distance between the holes when mounting with back side TV.

We look at our mount and mark the points on the wall (as in the photo below). Do not forget to check the horizontality of the holes that we will have, if there is not even a large skew, then this may threaten the TV to fall. Therefore, we take this matter seriously.

Step 3. For this step we need a drill. With it, we will drill holes at the indicated points.

Step 4. Using a hammer, drive the dowels into the holes, then carefully fix the brackets on the wall. Be careful with plasterboard wall, only take it when you are sure that your drywall will withstand your device.

Step 5. After we complete the mounting of the bracket, we prepare the TV. Carefully insert it into the guides or tighten the bolts without much effort.

Before fixing the plate to the wall, you need to know what kind of wall material. If it is drywall or wood, we use special dowels, and if it is a concrete wall, then it is necessary to use the dowels directly for concrete.

In this section, we will talk with you about the questions people ask when they are going to hang the TV on the wall. These questions, as well as the answers to them, are very useful for those people who are going to fix their TV on the wall.

What is the most suitable diagonal size for mounting a TV on a wall

Most people think about it and are going to buy themselves plasma on the floor of the wall, but before you do this, you should know if the room parameters will allow you to place such large screens that your health would not deteriorate. After all, you can still buy a TV with a large diagonal, but we must think about our health.

A comfortable distance for vision is equal to 3-4 diagonals of the screen. In other words, if you have a 40-inch screen, then you should be looking at it at a distance of at least 3 meters. Since 120 inches is approximately equal to 3 meters.

Many TV fans dream of a large plasma half-wall. It is not difficult to buy such a TV, but before doing this, check how the parameters of your room will allow you to look at such a monitor without harm to your health.

Quite a lot of people do not take this rule into account, they also spoil their eyesight, and for a very short line. We ask you not to repeat their mistakes and adhere to this rule.

What should be the height between the floor and the TV

The height is determined only from where you will put your TV, the main thing is that it is convenient for you to watch it. It won't be convenient for you to lift your head up and watch TV from under your forehead. For example, if you are going to hang your TV in the kitchen, then, in principle, you can hang it from the ceiling, but it will be inconvenient on the sofa, most likely, to look at the ceiling in the evenings.

In fact, there are no standards, so there is no reason. Sit in the place you want to watch TV from and find a place for your TV on the wall.

This question is quite popular, especially for those people who have already hung their TV on the wall. And it is much more difficult for them to hide the wires than those who asked about this issue at the beginning of mounting the TV on the wall.

So, if you are doing repairs now, then you need to arrange the sockets directly for the TV. This requires 1 TV socket and at least 3 outlets behind the screen. We will connect a TV, Wi-Fi, and a tuner to these sockets. The most the best method is to hide all these sockets directly behind the TV, it is very convenient and very popular.

But if there is a cabinet under your TV, which will have a different technique, then it is better to take care and make a couple of outlets in advance, even behind the same cabinet.

We advise you to place about 5 outlets at a distance of 30 centimeters from the floor, and even if you think that you will not need them, then you are deeply mistaken. After all, now technologies are developing very quickly, and no one knows what else they will come up with for a TV in 3 years, and sockets will always be needed, and there will be no need to use carriers. After all, carriers reduce all the colorfulness of any interior.

If the repair has already been done, then the best way will hide all the wires in a boxed cable, and bring it beautifully to the TV, so that it does not interfere with anyone, and especially does not rush into the eyes. A great way out of the situation would be if you design this cable box to match the style of your wall. After all, it is on it that he will be able to hang quite imperceptibly, in other words it can be called a disguised box.

But, if your TV is near the window, then the best method to hide the wires is to use curtains with an electric cornice. Make a socket near the ceiling, near where the curtain will be. And that would be a great stealthy method to hide your wires. You can ask a curtain specialist or an electrician for more details.

4. Good method Your TV's safety net is a small homemade stand, which is made from drywall. It can be done for a short time, but in turn, security will increase significantly. We kindly ask you not to stir the screen over the fireplace or other types of heat dissipation. The TV is negatively affected by the radiated heat and can quickly become operational. And the saddest thing is that no one will return your money for this, because it is spelled out in the documentation of every modern TV.
5. Before connecting the wires from the TV, secure the TV securely to the wall. Only then start connecting the wires. And keep in mind that if you have a swivel arm, then you must make sure that there is enough wire to rotate the screen, there should be no stretch at all. The distance from the viewing area directly to the screen should be 3 to 4 diagonal sizes. Namely, from 2 to 4 meters.
