😂😂😂
All of them.
A complete grid on the back
I mounted my TV, then hung on it like you did. The bolts came out and the entire mount broke. Then I realized it was 2am, I wasn't even in my own house and I was naked.... Thanks for the video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This comment gave me a heart attack. 💀
OMG dude LOLOLOLOLOL
😅😅😅😅
You need to lay of the narcotics bro...lol🤣
Very nice tutorial. The only thing that I'd add my two cents into would be the portion of drilling the holes. I've found it easier to find and mark the studs and the approximate location of where the mount will go. From there, predrill and then secure one corner of the mount. I then level the mount up and mark the other three holes. That way I have a perfectly level mount with no holes that are 1/8th or so off. You have yourself a new subscriber, BTW.

Very thorough! Thank you for sharing, I feel like I could finally mount my tv onto the wall now! 🥳
Dude my mother tongue is Spanish but I am fully bilingual and men I can tell you, I didn’t realized that it was dubbed to Spanish nearly after 3 minutes of watching it, I don’t know what you are doing but it is awesome and I loved it excellent video
These ideas worked great thank you for sharing them.
HELPED ME THANKS - MAT
This was a good tutorial! Thanks! ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks for the video
Thankyou!
I use a piece of OSB as a ledger. I mount the ledger to the studs, and then mount the TV bracket to the ledger.
Thanks sir for sharing this video watching from Canada 🇨🇦 actually this is helpful vedio i have to install my wall mount tv 60" inches sizes so again thank you for sharing 😊
I was looking for a video on how to install a tv mount on a drywall with resilient channels. Do you have that or what ‘s your recommendation to successfully accomplish that? Thanks
Thanks!!
Thank you
Muchas gracias.
Si, rodeos, facil y rapido. 💫🙏💫
The little hand 🤚 😂😂 , great video! Thanks
very good
Great video
Great video, thank you! I’m a disabled vet so I’ll have to pay for someone do it for me, but it’s good to know to do it properly. 👍🇺🇸
I like how simple u make it and to the point thanks I was going to use those toggle bolts lol on the drywall 😂 I’m sure that was going to be a good idea
it’s not a bad idea if you don’t have studs as an option
For those who are curious, if you are sitting 2m-2.3 meters away from the TV you have a tolerable error margin of approximately ≈20cm (before factoring in mount functionalities), in the placement of your mount. This is assuming the video-poster is correct regarding the 5degree rule in order to avoid feeling neck discomfort.
Jesus'
Ok
my brain has an intolerable error from reading this message
Should you avoid studs near outlets?
I'm going to hire a task rabbit for this
Any tips if i want to mount my tv on a partition made out of wood? Im planning to install swivel mount
Is this VESA compatible? Would like to get this for my 65" Phillips Roku flat screen TV. Just wanna make sure it will work together.
Great video. Automatic sub and good choice with the coke haha 👍🏻
Did you plug the TV in on the outlet that the mount covered?
Does the outlet need to be behind the bracket? I would think it can be below it too since the tv is large enough to hide it?
Hello there, loved the video, this grandma got the TV wall mount done thanks. QUESTION: You said you were going to put the description of the TV wall mount you got off Amazon. I don't see it. Can you send Please. Thank you
Your affiliate link for the TV mount redirects to a single gang electrical box. May want to check that. I was interested in which model you were using
Remembering when flat screens first came out how bulky/heavy they were and it was a very daunting challenge to mount them back then. Today, TVs are very light and mounting them shouldn't be as daunting as before.
How tall are you? To give me a better reference on how high to mount my TV. Awesome, clear, consice video...thank you...
You can use spacers also
How far does the tv sit from the wall when using this mount?
Thanks that was useful for me.
haters gon hate, this video helped me a lot with my first tv mount. thank you!
Did the bolts you used to fix to the wall come with the wall mount?
It would be nice if you would’ve shown how do you put everything on the T.V. in the beginning.
20 dollar ONN mount at walmart works great for me. 75 inch tv
I feel like no tv mounting videos discuss how to work with the studs to put the tv where you want (not just going with wherever the studs are). Any tips?
Get a 2x4 drill it into the studs and then you can connect the tv to the 2x4 wherever you want
@@vincelorona4026 whose doing all that
If part of your mount is only landing on one stud, you can use toggle bolts. Ensure you get the ones for the appropriate weight.
@@vincelorona4026that’s how I mounted the wall bracket.
I bolted 1/2 inch plywood (18” x 18”) to the stud, painted it to match the wall, then attached the wall mount to the plywood
The only thing I would like you to show is that kind of bolt you use , I always get the center of the stud , but I use toggle bolts , can you show the kind of bolt you used? I know what to use when is wood studs but metal studs are different
With the option of wall anchors that individually hold >= 90lbs plugged into standard drywall, is it absolutely necessary to anchor to studs?
YES. dont trust those drywall anchors with your expensive tv. just play it safe with studs. theyre your friends
What a timely video! Bringing home my new tv right meow.
Happy TV hanging, brother!
@@LRN2DIY do I need a new tv mount but already have one?
@@LRN2DIY can I uses any new or old tv mount for a 39 inch tv
@@donovanburrell2354 As long as the mount supports the TV’s weight, sure. It also has to be compatible with the mounting pattern on the back.
@@LRN2DIY thanks man
Hey I just got that treadmill too but it’s pretty janky (at the legs, the covers hit the conveyor belt thing) did you run into the same issue?
We don’t have that issue and have had the treadmill for probably ten years, but it’s super loud and also the screen occasionally blanks out toward the end of a run. I guess I expect some of that after so many years.
What model hisense?
👍
I watched a video and it said the optimum mounting height for a TV is the bottom needs to be 42" off of the floor. Not that I follow that, but use it as a rule of thumb depending on the situation.
I always use the top of the nearest light switch cover as an arbitrary height to line up with the bottom of the tv, for general wall install of anything bigger than 75.
If you use the bottom of tv as a reference, measure from the bottom of the tv to the top holes on the mount
I dont have any studs... can I still mount?
It would have been nice to have showed how to place the mount on the TV as that is part of the mount process.
What about wiring in the wall?
What kind of stud finder was that?
Does that wall have metal studs or wood studs ?
Lol
Forget the tv you have new exercises tool
My house is a 100 years old - there know studs - just plaster and lathe. Any suggestions?
Can you just come mount mine for me lol 🙈🙈
😂😂😂😂the thumbnail goes crazy
What if I only have one stud there the tv is supposed to be and the other ones are 24 inches apart?
Sadly, my bedroom had 24" on center not 16". So my 75" TV is essentially supported by a single stud.
You can fix that by installing a ledger board that spans 24” then attach the mount to the ledger
@@ZeroColdx911 I'd have to tear the walls open, wouldn't I?
Some mounts support both 16 and 24" interval studs.
@@MikeFuryTech no you don’t, it’s just a piece of wood mounted on top.
I had the same problem. I put up a hardwood backboard and trimmed it up with quarter round moulding.
How did you check if there was romex, conduit or pipe running through the stud where you drilled? I am thinking about drilling 1/16 to 1/8th inch at a time and then will look inside the hole with a flashlight and see if there is a cavity where romex or pipe may be running through. Thoughts?
There should be metal plates there. So if you feel a lot of resistance when drilling that should be your clue.
Your TV is only as a secure as your mounting screws in the drywall doesn’t matter that match how much that bracket can hold
The little plastic hand!😂😂😂
Do you have to use the stud scanner?
No it just helps find studs
Know how to this but always watch can always improve.
Yea I’ma just hire someone to do this
I got the same mount for $80 at Walmart
Does size matter
Which tv mount is this
Links are in the description.
I just wanted to see u hang off it LOL
Bro used his strong hand to do all this lol
I'd love to see one of these done into brick or concrete.
Would be essentially the same process, except you don't need to look for studs! Just get some tapcons and drill out your holes
That’s actually easier !! Because you have a solid base
thanx dad😅😅😅
Jesus Loves all of you guys
I think I can I think I can
I miss floor model tvs
I got my 200lbs bracket from Walmart for $23.
This sounds too complicated.I don’t have stud finder can I do it without it?Sorry for the stupid questions but I have limited space in my room.I don’t have anyone to help me mount the tv
yo that’s really funny how many strips lol
Show it to us
What about a wall mount that u can tilt up and down
my drill isn't big enough to drill in the lag bolts?
check for live wires! 😂
And what if the drill won’t go deeper than an inch on every wall in your home as if it’s made of metal?
Sounds more like concrete walls. If that be the case, you'll need an impact driver to drill through. It basically hammers while drilling.
What exactly are studs? You referred to them a lot in the video and I don't know what it means.
Vertical strong wooden beams behind the visible wall that support it.
If you don't know what studs are, you shouldn't be drilling into the wall for massive lag bolts cuz the risk of catastrophe is high.
cords come next
genny
I'd love to see you start using PPE (safety glasses minimum) you may not make mistakes but your viewers will.
I came for the great instructions. I stayed for the Coke.
help me mount my tv
I guess measuring twice is only when you cut wood :D
I always find the stud when i stand in front of a mirror.
What i wanted to see was 7:16 where you need four hands
Verubgood video i mounted 1 today but to a brick wall i find it easier pre drill bolt it using bolt and wall plugs then hook bars to tv then hang of course it wernt that easy
hang on the tv can the tv mounts hold the entire 200 lbs
What if you accidentally drill into an electrical cord or a water pipe ? 😅
That’s why it’s important to use a stud finder and make sure you’re on a stud. It’s still possible to drill into a wire but it’s extremely unlikely. Using an endoscope is always best but most people don’t bother.
@@LRN2DIY I have a multitool that finds both studs and electric wiring.
Your outlet is conveniently located behind the TV spot. I wish that was case
Mentioning that studs can be 24 inches apart instead of 16 would have been nice, new mount I bought is useless. Sure I should have done my own research but if I’m looking at an instructional video about this then that means that I am obviously ignorant on the matter and would have been nice to be informed. Have to return this Mount and buy one compatible with 24 inch studs. Thanks though I guess. (I’m a lil salty)
You can attach a ledger board that spans 24” then install the mount to it
@@ZeroColdx911 bold of you to assume I know how to do that lmao. It’s cool I just returned it and got a compatible one.
Here’s my dilemma, and maybe y’all can offer some input…
1.) Where things are right now-
Currently, I have a 42” TV in my office/fun room, on a wall mount. Said wall mount is positioned 6.5 ft. above the floor (IF that’s of any importance). Moving on…
In addition to a Dish Net Joey, there are also TWO video game 🎮 consoles hooked up to the TV. One evening, I was playing a game ON said TV, but suddenly, I had an epiphany (moving on here)…
2.) Changes warranted-
In order to get the full benefit of “maximum gaming performance and enjoyment”, I need a larger TV …😊!!! I’m thinking, somewhere in the vicinity of 65-72”. Now, in order to do this, I’m thinking that a wall mount that can sustain something in the vicinity of 200 lbs. will give ME piece of mind.
My concern I’ve been building up to is THIS:
-I like where the wall mount is, but w/o getting into TOO much detail, bottom line, I have….concerns regarding gravity and stability!!!
-I’ve done measurements to see if said TV w/ said measurements will fit in office/fun room, so no problem THERE❤️🤍💙.
-The TV I want IS 💯% video game 🎮 compatible (If I wanna WATCH-but not PLAY-TV, I’ll go into the living room. So again, all good there.
Again, I just have reluctance with trusting the stability of the NEW wall mount in the ORIGINAL spot.
All input and advice GLADLY welcome 🙏…
CHEERS 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Ok $150 ???? Mine was like $40…. Now I’m scared haha why is mine so cheap
I mean I definitely wouldn’t cheap out on a tv mount cause then something might go wrong.
I think tv installers videos should specified if the studs are wood or metal , since depending on the material , is the kind of anchor that you would use , and some people that has no knowledge of that , can get confused and use the wrong anchors
He didn't use anchors
