Higher or lower? The TV was perfectly just above eye level but still looked off for the room. Share your tips here. 💪💪👇👇
I am screwed. I had a 75" Sony. Dead. Bought a 85" Samsung. Only 4" taller, no problem. I have a custom cut out for the mount for that perfect against the wall look. HUGE PROBLEM. Samsung places their wall mount holes off center HIGH vs Sony being dead center. Result, TV will not fit. Too low. NO ONE makes an articulating mount with vertical adjustments! This is going to cost me $1,000's to have rock replaced and new cut out performed. BTW, the changing the screws on the mount doesn't work in this case since the screws are in the upper and lower corners of the bracket. Does anyone know of a vertical adjustment mount? I need 6 or 7" up
@@barrythehatchet1380 you can make your own little extension. Fabricate a little 2" by 9" long piece for each side and use a m8 bolt and nut on it to attach to your current bracket on each side and it will extend any mount to make it work for something like that.
@@BTheInstaller Thanks. I went to Lowe's and got 14 gauge slotted bar. Test fitted, and cut to length. After cutting, I used a chisel to give a slight bend down the edge to add rigidity. Worked perfect. I had to change some spacers, but everything looks great. I wish the mounting manufacturers offered this for the people that don't have the metal tools needed. Especially now that I learned that some TV manufacturers use off center (high or low) hole patterns.
@@barrythehatchet1380 good deal. Sometimes, some mounts do have extension pieces but I've "jerry-rigged" those for years to fix that exact issue. Glad it worked out.
@B The Installer when lowering the backplate would you be concerned with splitting the stud. I plan on using your method but the top screw to the bottom is about 4 1/2" apart. Do you think having three holes in the stud 4 1/2" apart would be ok?
Most common thing is ppl mounting their TV's far too high.
Good tips to remember! I just had a new TV installed using the same wall bracket that was already there. I knew that the previous owner had used a sturdy mount and the cords were hidden behind the drywall so I was able to size up from a ten year old 32" Emerson to a 43" Sony x85j.without relocating anything. I do think the new TV is now sitting a little higher but am overall happy with it . I would definitely get a more adjustable bracket if I sized up again, though! Thanks to you, and my neighbour, I did have the confidence to do it myself rather than trying to get hold of a technician.
Very nice video. I remember asking you the exact question about reusing the same holes when moving the mount so it's nice to see it being done.
For the PS5 height issue, just change it to horizontal configuration then its only about 4" high. I did that for my PS5 plus I got the new Sony midnight black replacement plastic top&bottom console covers so its now an all black PS5 - perfect to fit an entertainment center with other black components like AVR, bluray player, etc.
Also comes the mind, the debacles vertical vs horizontal for metal liquid "issue"
I'm about to install a TV and this took out a lot of anxiety knowing I have some wiggle room up/down a couple inches and don't need to nail the exact height. Thanks! And, as always, your vibe, amount of information, and pacing is great. Keep up the good work ✨
It looks like B has figured out that having Jen (Jenn?) in his videos is a good way to enhance his channel. 😉
She would say Jen with 1 N and duh. Thanks for the support. To both of us. 😆

@@BTheInstallershe says that? I always introduce myself as Markus with a k
Very clear and precise instructions. Thanks for sharing.
Great tips. I'm having the same issue of adjusting going from LED to OLED TV. Thanks for the video!
Did a TV swap a while back, had a 70" in the living room, replaced it with a 86",so we actually had to raise the wall mount to accommodate the bigger TV because it was too low on the wall. Never had to purchase a new mount for bigger TV, just had to get different bolts for the bracket on the back of the tv.
Thanks for the tips
thanks for the video!
Very helpful, thanks!
Good ways to adjust for the minor or a full move, good to see even a pro can forget some factors.
great vid, good to see the boss in there too 👍👍👍😎
Excellent 👍🏿
Love ur Videos Bro
I was lucky and had a LG OLED C9 as my first OLED on a TV entertainment stand. That is when I noticed the LG OLED mounting points are very low on the TV. Upgraded to a LG OLED 77C1 and was able to mount the TV to account for the extra low mounting point for the perfect viewing angle when sitting on the sofa. I might have to adjust my mount if I ever upgrade to G-series OLED with normal mounting points.
Looks great!, tv is also cool🙃
You could also grind off the lower part of those brackets to take use of the full 6"
It was perfect when you started. Just needs a center channel speaker.
I'm just checking to be sure, but... for the best "in room" height, wouldn't you or someone else in the house be best to sit comfortably on the sofa, and use a laser point or bubble level to work out from a straight line coming from their eye and point straight at the opposite wall for an horizontal view where the absolute dead centre cross-hair or bullseye would be the middle of the TV? And the set would be, flat against the wall ? For best contrast levels and no neck pain/strain while sitting down or slouchy? And moving the set up or down from that seating area position would serve as 'fashion over function?' Unless this is point of the video? To have what looks right by "eye" as a piece of furniture? Like when customers ask for the set above a fire place? Just to be clear this pure query and ways for me to gain formidable knowledge and experience. Its a Cool video and great tips for everyone no matter their situation and an absolute thumbs up button 👍
Thanks that was very helpful. But how many times can you drill into the same two 2x4 studs before the weight of the tv breaks them?
My solution was to mount the PS5! on a self-rising mount in the entertainment cabinet just like one of those fancy exhaust vents with a spring-loaded flap door on the top. Triggers with a remote simple.
Great 👍 video but this is a good example of why you should get a TV mount that can articulate up and down so you have options.
It’s a hassle to take the tv on and off -hopefully you don’t drop 😲the the TV 😢.
Quick and easy
Haha. Yo I gotta talk to you. Got that fx3 camera. So nice.
thank you for the great video, at the back of the tv lowering the metal stick does this changes the center weight of the mount, i mean the force which the tv put against the wall mount!
Whenever possible the center of the screen should always be mounted at eye level when the viewer is sitting down doing so helps to eliminate neck fatigue problems.
If we wanted to lower a tv mount using this method, would there be any risk of using the same the holes to be the top hole that the screws may come out if too loose?
I have to raise my 75” tv exactly 2.3 inches to accommodate a new soundbar underneath. I sit about 8 and a half feet away. It’s just right for viewing comfort where it is right now. Am I gonna notice too much of a difference after raising it?
NIce video. When I mount a TV, I figure out where on the wall I want it's top and bottom, then I center the brackets on the TV in the middle and measure from the top of the inside of the hook on the bracket to the top of the tv. Then measure down that far on the wall from where I want the top of the TV to be, and that tells me where the top of the mount should be. Works every time. Reversing direction on the brackets is fun. Got it wrong once. Down is up, up is down.
Going from a lcd to OLED really screwed up my mounting situation with the holes being so low on the oleds as opposed to the center like my lcd was. Damn thing felt like it was mounted up against the ceiling so I had to drop the mount almost 8 inches to get it back to my ideal viewing height
Yeah lowering the mount to the next set of holes works well for QLED to OLED.
If you lower the backside backers below the tv. Doesn't that give you an option to mount your something ND bar below the tv. I've seen this on some tvs, not sure if they mount it directly into the tv or not. Bar bar came with a mount system, but it is for mounting it into a wallm so if we extend the back brackets below tvm perhaps thats gives us options to mount the sound bar onto that
Good, helpful video. How did you connect the Apple TV to back of the bedroom TV?
MoFo duct tape. 😄 but you can get some better double sided velcro mounting tape there. 1"x20ft is like 20 bucks
It's generally the worst mistake people make mounting TV's far to high....
too*
What about using VESA extenders?
We are all glad Jen helped. Lol. Jk. U r a lucky man. Tell her I said so. My wife also helps me with everything. Just helped me put a sub dude ht stand under a JTR sun which weighs 220 pounds. And I need to raise my tv a bit. Great methods. Ty.
Is there a way to get tv brackets (like the ones you moved) so that I can have more options to raise them up and lower my tv? I have my tv on a fireplace but the problem is i have a niche to store my devices above fireplace, so I already have the mount as lowest it can be… but if brackets on tv give me the option for the tv to sit lower and cover the niche so devices are hidden behind tv, that would be perfect solution.
I can use older drilled holes again? On a stud? Serious question lol
Mounting a heavy object without a dowel is always a great idea.
Dunno if you'll see this comment but I have a question. In my home office / music studio / play area (where I play video games since my wife doesn't really care for them), I have my desk up against a wall with a rectangular, exposed brick cutout. Since I purchased a PS5, I want to buy a TV (probably a 48" LG A1 - vertical height 24") and mount it above my monitor on the drywall, and wall-mount my consoles next to it. From the top of the monitor, the drywall is about 18" up (meaning the center point of most mounts would be about 24" up) and 12" back. I feel like a standard mount would end up being about 9" too high on the wall (if perfectly centered, and the A1's VESA mounting points are low, so probably more like a foot or more). I've looked at MantelMount, but I don't really need it to come off the wall so much (and it comes out too far). I just need it to be moved vertically downward. Do you have any suggestions for good mounts that would allow the TV to be adjusted up to a foot lower (and possibly with some tilt)? I'm not interested in ceiling mounts. Thanks!
I just bought an ican full motion tv mount for a 65inch tv, for some reason, when the tv is installed and close to the wall, it slowly starts turning on its own, how do I stop it from turning when I just want it still ?
Why not just cut the 2 mounting brackets on TV# 1 so you could raise it and save having to Drill extra holes in the wall set the existing mounting bracket at the height you want and then cut the lower excess off.
The consoles can lay on there side and ideally you want the screen at Center or just below center at eye level when seated so as not to have to kink you neck back to watch the Tv or game, when I bought a Projector screen I had it custom made so that the center of the screen was at eye level when seated, the same principle should apply to a tv imo.
I do enjoy your tips and insights on products thank you.
Lay the PS5 flat...eye level while seated is best in my opinion...I have mine a little higher than eye level currently but too high causes neck strain
Is there an ideal height for a TV? I would expect maybe eyes height lines up with the screen centre, but I know that's not always practical.
That's actually ideal.
Yup that's right, I think what they ended up doing made it to high technically. Idk if I remember right what I did but roughly 42 inches off the ground for my 65 in TV, so around 25 in from the bottom of the TV to the ground.
your wife so kind and generous ♥️ take care of her she loves you so much god bless you brother 🤍
Hey B, going to attempt this later this week. If the mount was installed on the studs, could we just trust moving the mount one foot lower and aligning with the holes already made? Thanks!
Yes, and if you want to double check you are in the Stud, take a really small drill bit and make 3 holes 1/2 inch horizontally and you'll sind exact middle of Stud.
@@BTheInstaller got it, thank you!
A little more then an inch, “don’t we all” 😂🤣😂
too short
when you are wearing shorts
the installer its a king of comedy lol
Lot of comments on here from people who obviously didn’t get the gist of the video. Suddenly everyone else is B The Installer. Lol
It's all good. Comments are useful even if missing the point. 😆
bro can i wall mount my sony a80j ??
is it possible????
You are one lucky dude to have your lovely wife helping you out with your installs and other TV setups. It makes your videos my interesting to watch because she's really into helping you out. KUDO'S to you both.
Please help - mounted TV 2 inches too low. There's no wiggle room on the TV brackets so have to adjust the wall mount. The lag bolts are like 3.5 inches deep. Is there any risk to drilling the new holes just 1.5 - 2 inches above the old holes? It's a 75 inch TV so I worry it will put too much stress on the stud with the old holes so close. Should I plug the old holes with dowels first to reinforce the stud?
I have the exact same problem with my new 85 inch TV which is sitting on the highest and lowest holes on the bracket which connects to the TV. No wiggle room there. And I realized my couch headrest is obstructing 2-3 inches of TV at the bottom if I view TV anywhere behind the couch. I was thinking of purchasing an optional bracket accessory which I can connect to all 4 holes of the TV and lower the existing bracket. But I didn't find any such accessory.
I dont want to drill another 2 big holes just 2inch apart from existing holes. Did you find the solution for it?
When I saw that PS5 wow my wall mounting is basically be like three or four inches above my Xbox
In my opinion, the tv was in the right position to start with. Looks too high once you moved it. Everyone who wall-mounts TVs puts them too high like an artwork.
What do you use to clean fingers prints off the screen?
Here's a video that I found helpful from Digital Trends: ua-cam.com/video/VNlF7NLce7k/v-deo.html
More interesting. Sorry for the error.
42-44 inch off ground is perfect for bedroom most tv stands are only 30-35 inch . This is my measurements I don’t have to bend my neck or anything
Is there a mount with a hydraulic height adjustment?
Yes, on monoprice. Sort of suck. Also Mantel Mount if over fireplace.
Would redrilling new holes weaken the stud? Thanks
Negative. You're good.
Men i installed yesterday a 85 qn90a in my wall mount and men im so scare when do it because the guy help me out for lift up the tv scream omg here the tv dodnt can handle because its to short whaaattttt
. And then its because the wallmpunt its so short i dont know why when said up to 90 inch tv 150lbs. Are this its ok? The tv its hang on the wall but its so close to the end area of the 2 sides of the wallmount. Its like i cant move it left or right its stay on one place the wallmount cost me 60 on sams member mark slim wallmount
Just bought the 77” Sony a80j does anyone know if I should worry about burn in. I was also looking at the x95j 75”
Don't watch the same news program every day or sports/games with static images for too long, then it should be fine.
@@TheJockey1995 thank you
What is the best height to mount a 55 inch tv?....I've read 42inches from the ground to the centre of the tv....for me this looks a but low...
Around 23 inches from the bottom bezel of the tv to the floor. But it's also slightly different for everyone as height of a person and seating distance will vary.
The bottom of a 55 inch TV would be good at 30inches, no lower. My 75 inch TV is 25 inches at the bottom. People between 5.5 to 6 feet are comfortable.
Which wall mount are you using here? Please and thanks
I made a video about pipishell mounts around black Friday, check that out. ua-cam.com/video/Hi2jwmD0tb0/v-deo.html
@@BTheInstaller thank you. Looks like an awesome mount
Do u have a link for a good bracket to attach that Sonos to the bottom of the TV?
SASB1i believe.
@@BTheInstaller thank u I'll check it out last one I did it was a very flimsy bracket
@@BTheInstaller that's the one I used arc seemed to heavy for it
I have it.. it's perfect for arc.
@@BTheInstaller thank you I appreciate the help
Nice sir indiana hight majour
wont putting them in the same hole reduce the strength of the mount?
I would've drilled new pilot holes for all 4 lag bolts for maximum strength. There was no reason to reuse the holes, and as he even said, you have to put spackle on the lower holes anyway.
Silly question but wouldn’t have been easier to move move cabinet to the left & place PS5 there? So it’s a bit off center🤷🏻♂️
The point of the video was to show people how to raise or lower a tv. We could have lived with it just the way it waa.
I'm pretty sure the PlayStation was just a prop used as an example.
Dude...you're batting a bit out of your league....WAY TO GO!!!
Awesome a great thing to hear from another man.
TV went from perfect to way too high lol.
No washers on the lower holes ?
Most of the lag bolts included in TV mount kits are washer head bolts, essentially a washer already on it.
OLED vs QLED have different mounting heights? Why?
Basically viewing angles of any LCD TVs are terrible, including qled TV's...
That’s what I was wondering too
Didn't you forget to put a plug in the wall for the bolts?
I love plugs anyway.
We have wooden studs in wall... so it's different than stone walls
@@BTheInstaller I have chipboard so I put a plug in the hole to be safe.
@@birgerolovsson5203 You definitely still want to find the studs behind the wall and put the lag bolts in the wood studs. Those plastic plugs are meant for masonry which will expand tightly in the hole when the bolt is screwed in, and do very little for hollow walls.
Ps5 flat there sorted lol
Your eye should be 1/3 up from the bottom of the TV when sitting down.
If your eyes line up with the centre of the TV when sitting down , that conrect, nothing worse than having your head bent backwards when sitting down....
Best thing is to put the PlayStation somewhere else, problem solved...
I never understand why people mount their tv's low on a wall. Mine's about 180cm off the ground and it's gonna be perfect for anything from a 32 to a 55 inch one. Heck maybe even a 75inch one would fit but i don't want a tv for a wall. No, for the latter i'd think of a projector to be in use with an appropreate reciever than a tv.
The top of my knees is 60cm (almost 2 feet for Americans) and is the bottom of my 190cm (75 inch) TV is at that height on a stand. As a 183cm (6 feet for Americans) guy seated on my couch, I'm looking at the middle of that screen, sitting up straight. My 167cm (5.6 feet) wife has no issues even though the centre is slightly above her view.
@@damianhaber4890 the point i was bringing up was more like "why do most prefer a straight up position rather than a laid back position". Especially in todays world where a lot of people are hunched over their phone screens for a good portion of the day.
My sitting height is also similar since i'm 176-177cm or inbetween 5ft 9inch and 5ft 10inch.
Where do you find a wife that helps carrying tvs?
Just set the console flat
Is the wife a gamer too?
The tv or that booty😝😜
r/TVTooHigh would like to have a word with you
Whoever designed the PS5 should be arrested.
Its not recommend it to stand that PS 5 is better to lay it..
Why couldn’t you just lay the PlayStation down 😅
You’re such an awesome man. I wish I had a husband like you!
Definitely out kicked his coverage
R/tvtoohigh
Yeah for all the pros on there.... 😆
What a beautyfull Woman you have,
your are such a lucky Guy 🤪👍
1. your wife is gorgeous
2. It wasn't too low to begin with it was the perfect height
3. Reconfigure the PS5 to be horizontal instead of vertical.
Solution = change PS5 to horizontal position
DONE
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Damn, she's way to hot for him.
how did you marry a supermodel? you need to make dating advice videos...probably more money in that vs drilling holes and hanging tvs on walls. (your videos are great, i'm just playin)
It's all good. She's funny and extremely kind too. Which is obviously why she married me. Ha
You know you can lay the ps5 down right? Lol
Yes, but It wasn't the reason I made the video. We don't even use PS5 on that tv. Just general rules and the tv was super low.
@@BTheInstaller gotcha but in the beginning when you talked PS5 it made it seem like the main reason and also could of mentioned it layer down. I get the purpose of the video
Def not level
Just turn the PS5 on it’s side? LOL
More higher you mount the TV more dumb it will look.
In India installing TV’s, you can earn around maximum 10 dollars a day. People pay higher in America.
Just a word of advice, B…. Take the sticker off the bill of the New Era. That is so ghetto looking, not to mention that it’s soooo played out now. People in the hood got the whole sticker thing started decades ago, and looking at you, bruh, you’re definitely NOT from the ghetto. You just look silly wearing it that way.
