How to hang your TV on the wall with his hands: brackets, mounting

A little inventions devised by man, were so widespread in everyday life as a TV. This is one of the most popular items, which can be found in almost every home or apartment. The receivers of television signals around the clock transmit visual information to the sound, let happy to spend time. If this ever happens development of the devices that are less than a century the cumbersome and clunky models have become a stylish bar, allowing the comfort of your own home to feel 3D effects. If previously required tables and special supports for the terminal, now many wondering how to hang the TV on the wall, choose the right place, to ascertain height.

Advantages and disadvantages of mounting the TV on the bracket

Before you install the panel on a wall, it is necessary to deal with the existing types of fasteners, positive and appreciate negative aspects of such an arrangement to ensure the maximum comfort of the view, to protect the device from accidental damage. Consider the main advantages of the bracket:

• Space saving. No need to purchase a stand, rack, table and other furniture, which will occupy a certain place in the room.
• Security. Even if by chance the receiver will hurt, it does not tip over and break. This arrangement is ideal for families with young children who are not able to reach the wires located at the height of the outlet.
• Low cost. fastener elements are inexpensive, such a facility can save money compared to the purchase of special lockers.
• Ease of use. The panel can be placed at the desired height, anywhere, choose the angle.
• Compatibility with the interior. Fasteners are hidden behind the TV, which is compatible with all styles in the interior, there is no need to choose a suitable design for the room furniture.

The disadvantages of this placement are:

• The complexity of the installation. To attach it with his own hands, required skills to work with the tool, in this case made during installation errors can lead to falling objects.
• Transferring outlet. If you choose to place, which is far elektrotochka, you have to carry it or use an extension cord. The first option involves additional costs for repairs, the second would be to spoil the interior of the premises.
• Dear dismantling. If the object is to clear the wall, you have to perform a repair surface on which it is located, to remove all traces of attachment or completely change the finish of the walls.

Proper location of the TV

To place the product on the wall is necessary so that they were easy to use for all family members. In this case, it should not interfere with the movement of the room, place attachment has to be reliable. In order to properly choose the location of the point, the following apply:

• In most cases, the choice of location is based on the location of the furniture, as well as the point from which you view, whether it be a bed, couch or a work area in the kitchen.
• It is necessary to take into account the location of the sockets in the room. It is desirable that elektrotochka hidden behind the subject, or exposed to it. Otherwise it is necessary to use a carrier, which is not very aesthetically pleasing.
• In small area rooms structure it can be placed in one of the corners.
• It is forbidden to hang the panel over the fireplace, electricity, gas oven, overheating is bad for performance.
• For normal operation of the product, it must be well ventilated, so you can not place it in an alcove or closet.

It is not necessary to install the panel in front of the window opening. Natural light penetrating through the window, will shine from the surface to interfere with viewing. Ultraviolet radiation is bad for both the matrix and the plastic housing.

The height from the floor

Enjoy comfortable viewing of favorite TV shows, news channels can be used only when the panel is installed at a suitable height. The main rule when choosing this option - the center of the matrix is ​​at the level of the eye of the beholder, so setting the television receiver will depend on the position in which the person. It determined empirically.

While watching TV in the work area in the kitchen, the installation height is selected in accordance with the growth of the human, wherein the angle of deviation should not exceed 10 degrees. A simple way to determine the appropriate position is that while the stove or countertop must view the selected wall. At the point where the gaze should do fine mark.

In the living room height selection is sitting on the chair, settee. The bedroom flat panel decided to look lying, respectively, the level will depend on the type and size of the bed. In these rooms, the definition of the optimal place is similar to the kitchen.

Size and viewing distance

In addition to characteristics such as position and height of the panel arrangement, an important parameter is the distance of the screen from the eyes. Therefore, for those who dream of large models, occupying half of the wall, you should check that the room sets the subject to be sufficient viewing distance without damaging the screen health.

The table below lists the most comfortable permitted to view the following options:

How to choose a bracket

Structure for mounting the TV on a vertical plane, as well as on the ceiling makes it possible not only to establish the technique anywhere in the room, but also save space in the room. Each model has its own characteristics, appearance, unit. The simplest option is for rigid fixation of product on a wall, more sophisticated - can change the angle, the location of the panel in the space.

When choosing a fastening element is necessary to pay special attention to characteristics such as withstand the weight, strength of the product, installation method. There are brackets with fixed mountings, more constructive models to reposition brackets. To understand the intricacies of design, look at the main types and characteristics of the data subjects.

types of brackets

To select the optimal model which satisfies all the requirements for fasteners should be familiar with the existing varieties of designs brackets:

• Fixed. The easiest way to mount a TV receiver on the wall. Are reliable, reasonable cost, can withstand heavy loads. After installing the TV can not be turned horizontally or vertically.
• Inclined. They allow you to change the vertical angle, but to change the horizontal position of the device impossible. A good option for placing the device on a ceiling above the eye level.
• Tilt-swivel. Make it possible to rotate the panel in any direction. Have a massive structure, the high cost.
• Drawer. The most functional type. Can not only change the slope, but also push the TV receiver from the wall, to change its position in space. This is a very expensive models that have the greatest size, but less reliable fixed specimens. Not suitable for small rooms on the area.
• Ceiling. The bracket is fixed to the ceiling. The design makes it possible to turn the TV set on a circle, making any angle.

Compatibility of sizes and standard VESA

The choice of the bracket is dependent on the diagonal of the TV. Usually designs manufacturers specify its compatibility with the TV panel, the lowest and highest dimensions. For example, if the manual says that the mounting is designed for products with a diagonal within 27 "-37", and the acquired receiver exceeds these values, so it is necessary to find a another model.

Most manufacturers produce their products, which is compliant with the unified rules established by the association VESA Electronics Standards. According to established standards, all the receivers of the television signal at the wall situated at the rear side of video sources have the same attachment structure, namely four threaded holes disposed commensurate with the TV center in the form of a square or rectangular figures. Distances from the vertices to the vertex located on a straight line, said geometric shapes are multiples of 10 cm, e.g., 10x10, 20x10, 20x20.

Outdated plasma and LCD models with larger screens differ considerable weight, so for their reliable fixing holes are far apart. For example, a plasma TV with a diagonal within 37-42 inches holes corresponded standard 40x40 cm, while the new LED panels with the same external parameters - 20x20 cm. The owners of these models, decided to hang the product on a wall, may encounter difficulties when choosing a reliable fastening. In such situations it is better to take advantage of versatile attachments, with a large set of holes on the rails.

TV weight

Also, familiarize yourself with the maximum permissible load, which it is able to withstand in the selection of the fastening element. If the weight of the panel coincides with the maximum permissible weight of which is capable of holding the bracket, do not buy it. This design during operation can not stand the television receiver and break. The best solution would be a model with a 30% margin of safety.

Particular attention should be paid to the bolts that secure the product to the wall if they are not sufficiently reliable, it is better to replace them in order to avoid cases with falling TV.

Consider the table FDMI standards developed by the VESA, which shows the names of the rules, the corresponding load and the distance between holes:

standard name	Screen diagonal	Maximum load, kg	Geometric dimensions, see	thread holes
inch (inch)	in centimeters (cm)
MIS-B	4-7,9	10,2-20,2	2	5x2	M4
MIS-C	8-11,9	20,3-30,4	4,5	7,5h3,5	M4
MIS-D 75	12-22,9	30,5-58,3	8	7,5h5 7,5h7,5	M4
MIS-D 100	12-22,9	30,5-58,3	14	10x10 10x5	M4
MIS-E	23-30,9	58,4-78,6	22,7	20x10 20X5	M4
MIS-F M6	31-90	78,7-228,6	50	20x20 and more	M6
MIS-F M8	31-90	78,7-228,6	113,6	20x20 and more	M8

Distance from wall

One of the important features which must be considered when choosing a mounting - at what distance from the wall to hang the TV. This parameter depends on the type of the bracket. We fixed indent models may be only 3.5 cm, while the pull-out options allow you to remove the panel from the vertical surface of a few meters.

Depending on the mode of operation, the rotation necessary, screen angle, location of the outlets, access to jacks for connecting additional devices, holding a comfortable clean room type selected bracket. The functional fastener, the space between the wall and the TV receiver will be more.

Ergonomics, rotation, and tilt angle

The brackets that can be adjusted along the horizontal axis, provide additional benefits when watching TV. The design allows to make the deviation up or down, making it easy to view the screen from various locations, provide an opportunity to adjust the image quality by selecting the desired viewing angle.

There are options that can be folded like an accordion, thus reducing the distance to the wall. There is also a corner design that allow to reject the panel 90 degrees. This feature is useful for people who need access to the TV sockets.

Models operating turn left and right, to facilitate access ports located on the back cover. These models - the best option for large areas of space, where going to a lot of viewers, have the ability to view from different angles.

There are interesting brackets with pivot function that allows the monitor to deploy into a tavern mode (rotate 90 º), rotate by 360 º. However, it is rarely in demand at home, is more suitable for public institutions.

There are fasteners with a remote control system. They allow, on the spot, using the remote control to set up the optimum position of the screen.

TV self-installation

Once chosen location and the ideal height, you can install the TV on the wall. To establish a reliable structure and protect equipment from damage and falling during operation, the number of rules to be followed. Attachment must be strong. Before installation, check the location of the electric wires in the wall with wire detector. Large panels weighing more than 25 kg, it is better to install two.

Materials and tools

Most manufacturers mans mechanisms necessary consumable items and fasteners. This greatly simplifies installation. If they are not, the missing parts have to buy separately. Attach the TV to the wall, you can use a minimum set of tools and materials. To work needed:

• puncher;
• Bracket with a complete mounting hardware;
• Union, spanner;
• Hammer;
• Flat, Phillips screwdriver;
• Pencil;
• Level;
• For non-finish wall dowels butterfly screws.

stages of attachment

Collect hardware and mount the TV on the wall should be very careful. Poorly tightened screws the wrong of their size, the center of gravity displacement will lead to technology and significant financial losses fall. Events Installation place in several stages:

1. On the walls create a location layout. It is necessary to carefully check the horizontality of the base plate;
2. We note pencil each site drilling;
3. Making holes, insert fasteners;
4. Spun mounting backplate check the level of the horizontal;
5. Response Set plate on the rear wall of the television;
6. Hang on the wall technique. Hooks should be well documented and closely adjacent to the respective projections;
7. We make the connection cables.

Features mounting to different types of walls

During installation it is important to take into account the material of the wall. Often supplied with the mounting kit are elements for concrete pavement, but they can be used for any type of base. It will differ only a way of fastening and features.

Drywall Walls

Many homeowners prefer to decorate apartments and rooms with plasterboard. Lightweight and easy to process material has many advantages that make it a popular choice. Significant Disadvantages include brittleness. With the installation of shelves, mirrors, pictures, TV with a small diagonal no problems. But if you need to embed a heavy television, you will have to use some built-in niches, special brackets.

For small TV weighing up to 15 kg can be used with standard attachment method using plastic plugs from the set. They are quite sustain its weight and firmly entrenched in the plasterboard material. Tilt-swivel design is better to hang on the wall, reinforced aluminum frame.

Technique weighing 15 to 45 kg can not be mounted on the bare plasterboard, it is fraught with its destruction. Be sure to use a bracket. It is necessary to drill a hammer and finishing concrete, brick wall, lay a long anchor the expansible anchor in the shape of a butterfly, beat him with a hammer and screw. Provide fasteners for heavy TV should be at the time of construction, in making repairs. You can lay the reinforcement profile, build a special niche.

wooden wall

Tree - a common option for wall cladding. Conventional boards, wall paneling, carved panels give the interior a special comfort. Perfectly complement the living room, bedroom in eco-style TV mounted to the wall.

Finishing rooms may be made of different wood elements differing in size, width parts durability. Bracket for wall art should select the appropriate. Instead of the usual plugs need to use screws, not less than 3 cm in length. Butterfly anchors suitable for the plywood wall.

The walls are made of fragile materials

For walls of concrete blocks, aerocrete, gypsum partition plates Gas silicate brick can not use conventional anchors. TV on fragile surfaces must be placed through a method of fastening by means of long bolts wide washers. Partition, for example, aerated concrete drilled through by fastener markup threaded bolts in the holes, the other side is screwed nuts.

To mount the TV on the wall of the porous hollow bricks can be used chemical anchors - a special kind of mounting elements. Inserted into the wall anchors have a plurality of openings. They pour a special glue and insert a screw. This layer reinforces the section of the wall, you can create a uniform load, suspended dimensional objects.

Independent production arm

Presented in machinery mounts for TVs are not always reliable and there are decent money. They have standard dimensions and fastening methods are not appropriate for individual cases. Collect this product yourself is much easier than it seems at first glance. With a layout drawing or cardboard can calculate the load pick up the material and size of the bracket unaided.

Of the mounting rail

Simple budget mount TVs, whose position will not change. 4 need to prepare aluminum, steel corner. The width and length of parts does not matter, as long as the diameter of the holes coincide with the recesses on the back panel.

Making the markings on the rail, cut off two pieces for assembly to the wall and two for the back panel. The equal length workpieces are drilled holes for fastening to the unit and fix with screws.

The remaining pair of corners will be attached to the wall. Drilled holes for fastening elements (if the TV is heavy, it is better to make more of them), do a wall layout, fasten pieces of rail. The openings in the rear corners of the wall elements and should be strictly coincide with each other. To avoid skewing, they should be matched either by level. You can now hang the TV on the wall. Do it better together. We lift the unit, combine attachment and release.

Of wooden planks

A method for producing a self-made with lightweight aggregates. For its production will require a wooden plank, a hacksaw for cutting wood screws with a ring-shaped head. Getting started with the preparation of details. Saw off the bar from two identical parts, they should coincide with the back of your TV size. One of them is screwed screws from the hinges. Drilled holes in the strap, attach it to the unit.

Measure the distance between the loops on the bar and make marks on the wall. In these points drill holes and screwed into the wooden bar as suspension hooks. Is hung on the ring mount, TV set.

The movable metal

For hanging TVs with limited viewing angle, requires a special bracket. The movable mechanism will watch it from the comfort of the different points of the room. To make such a device will be able to master having the necessary tools (welding machine, grinders, bending machine, a drill). For operation required two steel plates, two pieces of tubing of different diameters, bolts and studs. The manufacturing process is as follows:

• One-piece metal sheet cut to the size of the plate apertures for attaching the back panel of the TV;
• Using a drill to make the holes;
• Fasten them with bolts to the wall and the unit;
• Bend piece of smaller diameter pipe and welded to the wall bracket;
• From the larger diameter tube small piece is cut off and welded to the plate of the TV;
• Skewer wide pipe as a loop, and get robust flexible arm.

hide wires

TV on the wall - an interesting design decision. He will decorate the interior only in the case of perfect harmony with the surrounding furniture and room decoration. Nothing should interfere with his visual perception, including the wires. To solve the problem with a lot of cables in several ways:

• Hide in special Grooves in the wall;
• Lay under the plinth;
• Put in a special cable channel made of PVC, metal, MDF;
• Close furniture, shelves;
• Decorate, make a part of the interior.

conclusion

Setting the TV on the wall using a bracket - this is the best, popular variant of fastening. There are many types of fasteners, differing in design, the installation method, functionality. They allow you to mount the panel to the optimal height, make it possible to change the angle. Installation can be easily accomplished with your hands, use the master services. The main work - Compliance with the instructions, the use of reliable, high-quality components.
