Essential Tools for LED TV Mounting
Before starting, ensure you have the right tools. These may include a stud finder, drill, level, screwdriver, measuring tape, and a TV wall mount bracket.
1. Select the Perfect Location
Choosing the right spot for your LED TV is crucial. Consider viewing angles, sunlight glare, and the location of power outlets. Also, ensure the spot you select can support the weight of the TV.

Insert the bolts or screws provided into the drilled holes. Ensure the TV mount bracket is secured firmly to the wall.
5. Attach the Mounting Arms to the TV
Depending on your TV model, the mounting arms will attach to the back of your LED TV. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Connect Cables Before Mounting
Before lifting your large LED TV onto the mount, connect all necessary cables. This includes HDMI cables, power cables, and any other necessary cords.
7. Lift and Attach the TV to the Mount
With the help of another person, carefully lift the TV onto the mount. Ensure it’s secure before letting go.
