Mounting a TV on Your Wall - Tech Tips from Best Buy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 жов 2019
- Ready to mount your TV? Geek Squad Agents from Best Buy will show you how.
We are using a tilting mount on a wall with drywall and wood studs. If your wall or studs are made from something else, if you are using another kind of mount, or if you have an outlet behind your TV the steps may be different.
Here's what you’ll need: Level, stud finder, measuring tape, painter’s tape, Philips head screwdriver, drill and bits, Allen wrench, socket wrench, and something to take notes.
Skip ahead to these steps:
Attach the mount to the TV: [0:46]
Determine and mark how high to hang the TV: [1:21]
Attach the mount to the wall: [2:29]
Hang the TV on the mount: [2:52]
Adjust to straighten: [3:12]

My stud ....
@@bearbear961 what
What did we miss??
😂😂😂😂
Thanks best buy. Just completed my installation.
This has gyat to be the best wall mount tutorial I’ve ever seen. Well done Agent Smith.
Thanks for watching!
😂😂😂 I don’t think best buy caught on
Thanks guys. I’m trying to install my 85 inch TV into a recessed wall and didn’t know how to put the TV mount in the right location. But you told me something no one else did. Measure to the hooks. Great advice. Thank you very much.
It's the small details that make the install go easier. Glad we could help.
@@BestBuy hey if you have the ability to update your website you might want to have Best Buy update the Samsung Q80A specs. On the website it shows that it does not allow HDMI 2.1. It does. It’s the game HDMI input. That is a 2.1 input.
@@BestBuy mk
Do you measure to the top of the hook center of the hook or what should have made it clear
Can I use same stud to drill 2 bolts 2 inches apart downwards to mount a tv ?
Are the instructions the same for monting a Computer Monitor?
Please suggest the toggle bolt that can be used to Mount. My problem is that the wall in which I need to put mount has only one stud and then in extreme corners. I have purchased fixed tv Mount of Best Buy essentials 37 - 90 inch
Joselico gracias 🇺🇸🛠👍
Thanks for helping hang my TV 👍👍👍👍👍❤️
We appreciate the opportunity to help you make the most of your tech.
Back in the day when I was a Double Agent, the DFM at the time was annoyed that I used painters tape for all these exact reasons that you too are using it. Lil note for those DIY’ers out there, if you don’t have a stud finder you can sub in a magnet as it will “stick” to the screws/nails holding the drywall up. Just be sure to double check before drilling 😉👍
I just bash a claw hammer into the drywall until I hit wood.
It looks like I’m starting to see the stud protruding where the tv is hung! 🤔👀🥺 what should I do? I’m worried!!
That team work 🤩

Agent Smith!! ❤🥰
Thanks buds
Lot of brisket babe
Nice video it is pretty easy to mount a tv especially if you know some about tools and can follow instructions.
Great minds think alike.
Best Buy: Tells Best Buy employees to try and sell mounting service
Also Best Buy: posts video about how to mount tv
Great helpful video 👍🏼 Could you please suggest how to mount it on the drywall fireplace . Thanks
Agents are standing by to help with more advanced services like mounting above a fireplace. You can customize your installation and schedule an appointment at bby.me/g3gx3.
How come the directions on paper doesn't tell you to measure from top to the bracket hook
VERY helpful. Most will still make a mess of things, even with this video.
How to find out if our tv is wall mounting
What about mounting to a plaster wall where you can't find the studs
For more advanced installations, we recommend scheduling a free in-home consultation to explore the best options for your setup. Schedule now at bby.me/zfr25.
Drywall plugs, don't skimp on the cost.
Get behind the TV make sure the TV is comfortable adjust yourself make sure you have protection then drive home
Wait wahh??
We had our tv installed for us but we can't get behind it to add devices and cords like a roku (there's less than an inch of clearance between the wall and tv). How can I get the tv off the wall to instal devices and is it possible to adjust the mount to leave more clearance between the tv and wall?
Most mounted TV setups use hooks that hang on the mount. You should be able to lift the TV upwards and then away from the wall. We recommend doing this with a friend if possible. See 2:53 and do the process shown in reverse.
0:47 what’s the colour of the tv?
Water
I have a 55 inch tv and I just bought a 75in. My question is can I use the same placement for the 75 inch tv.
Yes, the major TV and TV mount makers build to a standard size, so their TVs and the mounts are compatible with each other. So, the process shown in the video will work for TVs 55" through 75".
Thank you so much for getting back to me.
We're here for you.
Funny question. What is the background tune in this commercial? I love that tune. Where did you find it?
Catchy, right? It's custom music just for our videos and not publicly available.
@@BestBuy lol. FUN! Thx!! 🙂
Can you do a video showing the LG G2 gallery series specifically? LGs own video is terrible. This was way more helpful, but it is a specialty bracket.
We always appreciate feedback on making our videos more helpful and we'll be happy to share your suggestion around that specific TV to the team responsible for these.
Great video. Thank you.

uh oh, your bot broke@@BestBuy
Not gonna lie, epic.
Anybody ever had a situation where the studs were too far apart for the mounting screws? I knew I couldn’t leave the tv in just drywall so I went to Home Depot and bought a pack of wall anchors. Worked like a charm.
Happens all the time
Those wall anchors better be rated for double the weight of the tv. Also don’t use the swivel option or that tv is eventually gonna crash down on you man. Put it up.
Don’t touch it.
Cross your fingers.
@@erica.f.3036 sorry didn’t realize I said wall anchors. I meant toggle bolts.
What’s her @

I have the Best Buy essentials™M - Fixed TV Wall
Mount. How do I get it off the wall? I need to plug in a HDMI and it is so flush to the wall I can’t and need to take it down but can’t get it off mount. Help.
Take a look at Section 7 in this downloadable manual for removing the TV from the wall: bby.me/u7bmng.
We recommend having a second person help when following those steps.
How high off the floor should you mount the tv
Generally, it's recommended to mount the TV at a height where the center of the screen is at eye level. Where you'll be sitting the most when watching the TV should be considered in this decision.
@@BestBuy when you are standing up?

girl u doing good
Nope, got bit drilled in the head. Help please
I drill holes in my wall
How much you guys charge for installation if i buy a tv from BestBuy

How do I slide the TV from left to right
Most mounts will have hooks that hold the TV up, but will still allow the TV to be moved left or right along the rails in order to position it as needed.
Pretty cool 👍🏼i’m thinking of doing a reclaim wall with half inch laminate floor should I do the wall fist then install the tv plate or it can be over the laminate
Does it matter how far apart the wall studs are?
Check out 2:15 in the video. As long as the studs fit within the mounting hole slots on the bracket, you should be good to go. Most walls with regular studs will fit within most TV bracket models.
can i have a job with u guys lol
They are not agents. I did not see a gun or badge.
What about the cables? WTH!
They're working with a 2220 year tv. No cables needed.
A long one is always better 😂😂
That's what SHE said 😅
Well do y’all remount tvs if u have your service cause I’m bout to move and I was told u guys can take them down and re put them up
There's already so much work to do with moving, so let us help with your TV. Call us at 1-800 Geek Squad (1-800-433-5778) to review what's needed.
Too much things to do . The hardest part is to find the studs I mean that's basically the main part of everything if you do not have the exact area marked you will end up making holes in the wrong part of the wall
That's why they used a stud funders a duhhhhh.
This is fricking chiba liba
En serio huaaaauuu is smart jajajaj
Why not use toggles bolts
Toggle bolts are entirely dependent on the material into which they are inserted. If there is a seam, water damage, or repair patch, these (potentially invisible) issues could significantly affect how stable the toggle bolt stays over time.
Where possible, we recommend using studs or other structural members to provide a much more secure and stable attachment point, given how integrated they are into a building.
How do I hang my 1988 crt tv on the wall?
While we don't currently carry them, there are wall-mountable platforms for tube televisions available for that retro room feel. Nintendo Entertainment System not included.
I heard the "NuWave" Oven is a really good oven were it cooks in a fast time faster than a regular convention oven, makes the food healthier and it saves you money from your electricity bill probably the Air Fryers have these sand features

Shes got all the back mount ne guy would want!!! 45...
Hey.. that’s what she said!
My brain hurts
I paid over 200 dollars to Best Buy and they sent somebody to install my tv but they installed too high. I don’t think they have any idea what they were doing because they didn’t measure nothing at all. So now my tv is too high. What can I do?
Getting your TV mounted at a comfortable height is important, and our in-home installer should have confirmed everything was to your satisfaction while in your home. Give us a call at 1-800-433-5778 and we'll be happy to help with next steps to correct this.
It's too bad ya'll don't run a special with free installation or even say $99.00 install, if over a certain amount. I would jump on it as I am in the market for at least a 70 inch newer model.
All of this. Ty. Accurate! 🫶🏼🕊
Thick like a bowl of porge! 🙀👌

Does Best Buy include mounts as part of their 150 dollar fee for tv setup and mounting?
Because there are a wide range of mounts for different purposes, our service does not include one. If you need help choosing the best mount for your needs and budget, chat directly with our home theater experts at bby.me/18r490 for free help and recommendations.
Instructions unclear as well. Mounted the tv to my cat.
Y’all just gonna pretend you didn’t hear this lady holding in a burp at 2:36. Ok

“A longer one is better.” That’s what she said.
lol
Wait what?
No anchor for the screws???🤔
No anchors needed when bolted right into the wall studs as they did
在中国这活值100至190人民币。在你们那呢？
Screen height (eye level) - I hoheartedly disagree and instead would mount TV so that the bottom 1/3 is at eye level, resulting in the TV being mounted 5 inches higher for a 65" screen and 8 inches higher for a 85" screen then your center of screen to eye level mounting suggestion. Which I might add is doubly important for those of you who have recliners and therefore tend lean back in the reclining position for TV viewing.
We appreciate you sharing your perspective. As you mention, some may have different preferences based on how they plan to sit and the type of furniture used. It's not a bad idea to use painter's tape to put a rectangle on the wall the size of the TV and then take a look from where you'll be watching to see if it works for you.

Not gonna lie.
Ох уж эти примитивные иностранцы. Я все это сделаю на глаз без маркеров и уровней. Исключительно на уровне внутренних ощущений. Поверьте, получится ничуть не хуже.
Great tip !!! Liked the use of tape for markers.

Instructions unclear i ended up mounting the wall to my tv
Technically, if you carry through the items connected to each other, you're connecting your TV to the wall to the planet. Your TV is connected to the Universe, really.
