Mounting an 80-inch TV on the wall can be a daunting task, especially with the advanced features and weight considerations of today’s models. However, with the right tools and guidance, you can enjoy a seamless viewing experience in no time. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you mount your TV professionally.
Select a wall that can support the TV’s weight. If possible, choose a wall free of obstructions for the best viewing angle.
Use a stud finder to locate studs in your wall. Studs provide the necessary support to ensure your TV is securely mounted.
Hold the wall mount bracket up to the desired height and mark where you’ll drill the holes. Confirm that the bracket is level before proceeding. Drill pilot holes into the studs, then secure the bracket using screws.
Carefully lay your TV screen-down on a soft surface. Attach the mounting plate to the back of your TV, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
With assistance (due to the size and weight of an 80-inch TV), lift the TV and align the mounting plate with the wall bracket. Secure the TV to the wall bracket following the instructions provided.
Ensure the TV is level and stable. Once mounted, connect any necessary cables and manage wires for a tidy setup.
