How to Put Up That New Flat Screen

The Flat Screen is is easily one of the most popular consumer electronics of the 21st century. But, and the sheer number of installation companies available will prove me right, it is not the easiest job you can do. Yet, if you have time and patience on your hands, these are the steps you should follow to for Flat Screen Installation. The first thing to do if you want to wall mount your Flat Screen, is to look for a good mount. Not every mount is compatible with every TV, so be careful in choosing as the wrong mount can damage, the TV, the wall and the mount itself. You need not face this problem if you’re base mounting it as most good Flat Screens come with an attachable base. It is simply a matter of slotting the base into the corresponding groove.

The next thing to do is to fix up the height of the TV to be mounted and think of its placement. Now the simple rule of thumb for this process would be remembering 35 degrees above normal vision line strains the neck and 15 degrees below it diminishes the image. Also, a glare on the screen does not make for good viewing, so don’t choose a place opposite doors, windows and balconies. After having done this, mark the position and then mark points for drilling screws into the wall. Then attach the bracket of the mount by drilling it into the wall. If it is a drywall, ensure that the point being drilled has a stud (i.e. the ‘frame’). This does not matter for concrete/brick walls. Repeat for the other bracket. Then, according to the instructions on the bracket (and these vary, so read them carefully), attach your TV to the bracket. This usually involves some form of bolting in.

After you are done, for the aesthetically minded, You should try to conceal the wires, because they will most certainly end up making the room ugly. Now the simplest method would be to hide it all behind furniture, but with a little more expense and effort, you can purchase wire covers in various colours. The final step, to ensure a good viewing experience is to fix up seating according to optimal viewing distance. This again has the thumb rule of least distance being twice the TV’s width and the farthest being 5 times of it. After this, your Flat Screen Installation is complete.
