    Very nice tutorial. The only thing that I'd add my two cents into would be the portion of drilling the holes. I've found it easier to find and mark the studs and the approximate location of where the mount will go. From there, predrill and then secure one corner of the mount. I then level the mount up and mark the other three holes. That way I have a perfectly level mount with no holes that are 1/8th or so off. You have yourself a new subscriber, BTW.

    For those who are curious, if you are sitting 2m-2.3 meters away from the TV you have a tolerable error margin of approximately ≈20cm (before factoring in mount functionalities), in the placement of your mount. This is assuming the video-poster is correct regarding the 5degree rule in order to avoid feeling neck discomfort.

    Thank you for the great video. I have one of the large SANUS wall mounts and a 85 inch tv weighing 135lbs being mounted above a fireplace mantle, where the hook point is at 90 inches from the floor.
    How do you get an 85 inch, 135 lb TV lifted up that high? The Samsung TV I have has the SANUS hardware with the hook point 12 inches from the top of the 43 inch tall TV.
    I know a couple guys can lift it up to a reasonable height, but how do you safely lift it that high?

    • @oldauntzibby4395
      @oldauntzibby4395 5 місяців тому

      That's a good way to do it if your mounting holes don't match up with your studs. My house has studs on 24" center and the bracket I bought secondhand is narrower so I'll need to bridge across the studs to create a good mounting plate. I think I'll use a 2x board lag bolted to the wall studs, then I'll be able to mount the wall bracket to that. It'll be hidden behind the TV.
      If it's a large, heavy TV I don't trust OSB not to crumble if there's nothing but wall board (drywall) behind it.

    • @LRN2DIY
      @LRN2DIY  5 місяців тому +2

      If it’ll span at least one stud, I’d go with that and use heavy duty drywall anchors (like the 75 lbs each variety) for the other two holes. Of it doesn’t touch a stud at all, four to six of those drywall anchors will be plenty strong for any modern TV, or you can look at bracing the area between the studs. You could even mount a piece of plywood to the studs and mount the TV mount to that.

    How did you check if there was romex, conduit or pipe running through the stud where you drilled? I am thinking about drilling 1/16 to 1/8th inch at a time and then will look inside the hole with a flashlight and see if there is a cavity where romex or pipe may be running through. Thoughts?

    Here’s my dilemma, and maybe y’all can offer some input…
    1.) Where things are right now-
    Currently, I have a 42” TV in my office/fun room, on a wall mount. Said wall mount is positioned 6.5 ft. above the floor (IF that’s of any importance). Moving on…
    In addition to a Dish Net Joey, there are also TWO video game 🎮 consoles hooked up to the TV. One evening, I was playing a game ON said TV, but suddenly, I had an epiphany (moving on here)…
    2.) Changes warranted-
    In order to get the full benefit of “maximum gaming performance and enjoyment”, I need a larger TV …😊!!! I’m thinking, somewhere in the vicinity of 65-72”. Now, in order to do this, I’m thinking that a wall mount that can sustain something in the vicinity of 200 lbs. will give ME piece of mind.
    My concern I’ve been building up to is THIS:
    -I like where the wall mount is, but w/o getting into TOO much detail, bottom line, I have….concerns regarding gravity and stability!!!
    -I’ve done measurements to see if said TV w/ said measurements will fit in office/fun room, so no problem THERE❤️🤍💙.
    -The TV I want IS 💯% video game 🎮 compatible (If I wanna WATCH-but not PLAY-TV, I’ll go into the living room. So again, all good there.
    Again, I just have reluctance with trusting the stability of the NEW wall mount in the ORIGINAL spot.
    All input and advice GLADLY welcome 🙏…

      ​@@WeDontCare185 I'd rather spend more for something that's a higher quality, especially when it's going to be holding up a large TV

      @snakebebop agreed! If I had the money I'd definitely go all out
