+Tampatec Hey Tampa. Why does the TV have to be 50 inches from the floor of the wall wear you marked it? I ask because I'm putting up my tv this week. its a 48 inch tv and I have a full motion mount
+Leroy Williams he used 50 inches because thst was the height of the dresser that will go underneath the tv. the tv will look like it's floating just above the dresser.
+Tampatec Thanks for the tutorial and it was helpful! Im picking up a Insignia 40" 1080p HD LED TV. Will this mount work fine for the tv Im getting or its only for Plasma? Thanks again for your insight.
I've watched a dozen of these videos and you're the only one who explained the installation of the brackets to the TV. Everyone just focuses on the installation to the wall. Thank you.
I appreciate your video. I saw it today in the morning and got all the necessary tools and equipment especially those break away toggle screws, man those helped out alot. The tv mount had thier own anchors and screws but were a bunch of crap. I did a 42 inch tv in the bedroom and then I did a 60 inch for the living room, my wife helped me for that one. Man, my back hurts, but you saved me some money and I gained some experience. But hopefully never again. Too much money on two wall mounts
My wall mount package did not come with instructions, so I looked and looked and this is best explanation I have found. Very easy to understand. Thanks a million!
Hey Dude just want to thank you for the video it took me and my son about 1/2 hour to get his 60 inch mounted. There's no need for anyone to have someone do this for them if they watch your video again thanks.
Hey, I'm an installer dude. Your video/advice is great and safe but I have some tips. 1. open a small hole first (somewhere the TV will hide) to see if there is some random pipes or wires. Usually you have to open a single gang hole anyways to run electric. 2. 200 pounds in drywall doesn't sound right. Unless you put in 6 of them spread out as much as possible throughout the bracket 3 You can usually shift the mount over to catch the next stud and still center the TV where you need (sometimes).
Thanks for the video - I am planning on getting a 50" LCD HDTV flat screen (they really aren't that much more expensive than plasmas these days) and your video is very helpful n lets me know what I need to consider. My room has an interior wall and an exterior wall and I was debating on which wall to put it on (either one would be fine actually viewing-wise) but thanks to your vid showing that interior walls usually have studs every 24" I will probably install on the outer wall to catch 2 studs
Thanks for the video it really helped me - I was having trouble figuring out what to use for strong enough support because my other side didn't hit a stud. Those zip toggle things ( sorry I can't remember the proper name) are brilliant. Heading to home deep-pockets now for those AND the magnetic stud finder. Genius. Thanks again!
I needed this video so bad. I have a used tv mount and no idea what hardware I needed to put it back on a wall built exactly like this. Thanks for making this. I also laughed so much when you were like "let's test it" then literally jumped on the wall haha "oh he means REALLY test it.." 🤣
Is it necessary to use all 4 toggle bolts? I have seen videos by other professionals that have used 4 toggle bolt. Great video btw. You explain things in a very detailed manner.
Thanks, this was really helpful. Why did you put the left set so close to the center of the mount? It seems to me that if you'd used one of the places farther to the left, you would have been able to mount the entire thing directly into your studs.
Tamapatec, I will get my 40' Samsung LED tv that I got from BestBuy next week and the the wall mount and magnetic stud finder that i got from amazon at the end of this week and I want to do it myself. I was wondering is the tv suppose to come with the materials like bolts and screws. If so what other things accessories or materials, that don't come with the tv or wall mount, am I suppose to acquire. An impact drill is probably one right?
Tried that hard reset still there on all inputs ,yes tv is plasma what are the connectors ? Thanks for your info much appreciated will deffo be watching your channel from across the pond cheers bud
Ok I was given a 50" Visio Plasma tv weighs about 200lbs (pretty sure it's a 1st gen.) I have the same issue with the studs in my wall. Would you recommend this method for such a heavy tv? Thanks
I wish that I had found you, before I turned my wall into something, that resembles swiss cheese, As a single mother, we need to know this infor, love your videos, and thank you. feeling empowered, to use the drill once again.
good directions, how large a TV will that particular wall bracket hold. I recall some people ripping out sheetrock just to "hide" the brackets and rebuilding the wall, I never mounted my TVs before because of this. since I won't do that for any reason, aesthetic or otherwise, my wires can dangle, I don't care! I'd prefer to get that bracket you have there, if it holds 60" TV's which mounts externally rather than inside the wall. Got a 60 " on order and want to be practical.
for that bracket you can go 32" from a beam and have both in beams.The first bolt don't have to go in that slot you put in.Use the first one or second ,No need to put in pilot hole either if using a power drill.
Hi, great video but I need a quick suggestion. As you mentioned Ancient 5/8 wooden screws. I went to local store and the 5/8 looked small. Can you please confirm the wooden screw exact size. Thanks
thanks for doing the vid..I'm doing mine in a week ish lol doing a 51" in a mobile home..like the snap toggle bolts..used the regular screw in drywall ones on my wifes pot rack I hung from the ceiling and there holding great for 3 years now...
Thanks posting this. I have the exact same problem. My studs are NOT 16 inches apart. I already drilled into the dry wall on one side and into a stud in the other. Thanks for the tip about the toggle bolts. Now I know how to fix it. Love that Spiderman move at the end! lol :-) I would try that, but don't think I have that kind of core strength, lol.
QUESTION...I plan on wall mounting my tv soon, and I was wondering if I can just use the mounting holes further to the left to cover that 2' stud gap, instead of drilling holes for snaptoggle bolts?
Great job with the video considering you had to install the tv and man the camera as well. How long did the job take you to do with you being both the installer and cameraman?
Good morning. Can you please state the manufacturer of your wall mount. I purchased one, and it's a POS. I may have to buy another way, and this looks way easier to install than the POS I have. Thank you!
did you ever hook yourself with the toggler. i hate that. i toggled myself. & it hurt really bad. i dropped the plasma tv . crashed all over the place. i really did good this time. i need a little help with this installation sal.
Thanks for the video bro. I didn't have a freaking clue on where to start but after seeing the first 2 mins of your video I was golden just like pony boy! Thanks again!
I'm really interested in seeing if the tv is resting on both top and bottom brackets I have mine on bottom so far so good I need to know if it's safe that way 60 in tilting tv :/
Hay bud, I may have a small problem installing my 50" Element LCD I just got for Christmas. First it's an Element so I'm scared about the picture quality but I have a really old brick house with plaster and lat. I had a hell of a time just getting the cheap window blinds up. Have you ever worked with this type?
Great job on explaining and getting right to the point. My question to you is would drywall toggle bolts be enough for a 55in. tv or do i have to at least hit one stud? And should I use more than just four bolts
if you use 6 toggle bolts by togglers 3/16th they are rated about 150pds, but i would still try to mount one side to a stud then other use togglers. i do this for living. if you just have a tilt mount and 55inch led tv you should be fine.
if using any "motion arm" mounts "articulating" must mount into studs cause people will be moving it often. so use 2x 3inch zinc wood screws in at Least one stud and 2x in drywall snap 3/16 togglers .
Thx for the info! Just saw a good 2 min video on the difference between impact vs drill: "Hitachi Tool Corner- Impact Drill vs. Driver Drill Explanation".
Just hung the same exact mount this past weekend using lag bolts for 32in Samsung TV.. The wall I was drilling into had a firewall behind the drywall between the two walls separating apartments. Was a pain in the butt.. But it's secure and not goin anywhere. 😊
Man those snap toggle bolts great idea but sometimes when I use them and screw them in - I literally crew it up that the screw just ends up spinning - not sure what I do to mess it up but when they hold, they are awesome
Informative video, but your mount looks to be over 24 inches with plenty of slots for mount screws, so why didn't you use the studs, rather than hollow wall anchors?
Is there any particular reason as to why you didn't use the lag bolts that came with the Sanus mount for the two points that were anchored into the stud?
Good job. I've got to install one tomorrow for a friend. I've never seen the snap toggles like that but I sure do like them. Hopefully I'll luck out and have a wall with 16" centers but you know how Murphy's law works.
Great Vid Tampatec!! Just wondering could you mount 3 x 65 inch LG's on a wall one above the other? each TV weigh 90lbs and the frame studs are metal will it be to heavy?? Cheers Lee
Thanks. I was mostly asking because I wanted to make sure there wasn't some important reason (e.g. load distribution or soemthing) for putting one of the sets of screws near the center.
Tampatec I live in a apartment I don't know if I can drill holes in the walls. Is their another way you can put the tv up without putting huge holes in the walls?
Is it okay to attach your tv on the wall mount a little more to the side? I am attaching the mount on the studs bit for the TV to be centered I need to lock the TV a little to the left. Thanks!!
How could dry wall possibly hold up anything regardless of what screw or toggle bolt..just seems like it would be tto brittle or weak..crazy..hope my walls have normal spacing studs
Will a person have to take the tv off of the wall to plug in wires to the tv? I have a 50 inch television with a mount that is not setup yet and I'm just wondering if I should keep it on the stand because it would be easier to plug wires in or if i should mount it. I only want to mount it if i can still easily plug in wires. Please Respond
That was really helpful for someone as crappy as me at this sort of thing. When is the USA going to join the rest of the world and go metric? Brilliant, have a great day, from Newcastle, NSW, Australia.
Is there a universal mount or something that could do the same thing? I bought my TV a year ago and now I wanna put it on the wall instead of putting it on my table to save room. I cant find the box that had all the components so what should I do?
Anyone else watching this imagine the tv falling right after he gives thumbs up and how funny it would of been lol ... good video by the way dude kinda gave me a little confidence to go ahead and mount my 60 inch
I think the spacers are to be used if the back of the tv is curved and not flat. They are not intended to improve air circulation but I'm sure it helps. I'd be inclined not to use them unless absolutely necessary as it only adds depth to the tv and it sticks out from the wall more.
what size is the drill bit you used? mine ask for a 3mm and 5mm, but mine are in fractions, 3/16th is about 6mm from searching online, will that be ok to pilot a hole? then i can screw the wrench screw into the wall stud?
Casper Kay 10 this video is old and looks like Blair Witch but this video is easy to follow and tells you what you need to use. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MQ2O7c8BSDY.html
do I need the plastic sleeves that are included or are they if you don't have studs? I'm thinking about just using the lag bolts and washers because I located the studs in the wall, someone lemme know quick please cause I wanna get this TV up ASAP, thanks in advance!
i'm wall mounting a flat screen over a fireplace and using cord covers to hide the mess. my problem is, how do i get a 6 ft. power cord to reach the electrical outlet that's 10 ft. away. i know there must be an easy solution. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
