Do you remember the old Soviet TVs, which rather resembled a bulky box than the miracle of technology? They, as a rule, were installed on special TV tables or niches in the sideboard, but there was no question of attaching the TV to the wall. However, modern technology allows you to arrange flat LCD TVs in parallel to the wall, which looks more impressive in the design sense, and the TV on the wall in the interior of the room takes its place of honor. How to properly hang the TV on the wall and what is required? About this below.
A bit of theory
Before practice, let's go through the theory. To hang the LCD panel with a diameter of 24 inches, you can use a standard set for fixing. In this case, special slots are attached to the TV, which are fixed directly to the wall. The main drawback of this option is the impossibility of adjusting the angle of the panel.
Option two: fasteners to brackets. This method is more reliable and can be used for TVs of any size.
Brackets are:
- Adjustable (with tilt / turn function)
- fixed (allow to attach the panel parallel to the wall with an indentation of 2-6 cm)
For small light TVs recommend swivel mounts, and for bulky panels - solid stationary structures.
Many people are interested in how best to hang the TV on the wall and hide the wires. It's useful cable-channel, and if the wall is drywall, then the wiring can be hidden in the holes. A logical question arises: can I put the TV on the wall of gypsum board? If the TV panel is heavy, then it is desirable to attach the suspension to the metal frame of the crate. Lightweight panels can be hung directly on the drywall.
How to put the TV on the wall with your own hands
Demonstrate how to hang the panel on standard holders.
- Determine the place. At what height is it desirable to hang the TV on the wall? Sit where you want to watch TV. Mentally imagine the line of sight to the top of the panel. This is the ideal height.
- Holes. Take a bit of drill bit smaller than the dowel and drill holes in the right place.
Plug the dowel into the wall with a hammer. - Attach the holder with the bolts. Screw them into the dowels diagonally, make sure that their position is not distorted.
- Hang the panel by the hooks on the back.
- Enjoy watching.
