TV Mount Installation FAQ

Can I install a TV mount on drywall without studs?

It is not recommended for large or heavy TVs. For maximum safety, the bracket should be anchored into wood studs or a solid concrete/brick wall using the appropriate wall anchors.

How high should I mount my TV?

A general rule of thumb is that the center of the screen should be at eye level when seated. For home use, this is typically 42 inches (107 cm) from the floor to the center of the TV.

What is the difference between a fixed mount and a tilt mount?

A fixed mount keeps the TV flat against the wall with the lowest profile. A tilt mount allows you to angle the screen downwards, which is ideal for reducing glare or if the TV is mounted above eye level (like over a fireplace).
