This instruction overviews general flat panel tv wall bracket mounting and tv mounting with regards to safety.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Locate studs where tv mount will be installed and mark with level vertical lines that will intersect mounting area.
Step 2

Have an assistant hold bracket level while you mark the mounting holes inline with the studs
Step 3

tv bracket and mounting

Use 2 inch self tapping wood lag bolts to attach the mounting bracket to the wall into the studs using all the mounting holes to assure a secure mount. There's no overkill here, you don't want your tv to fall on the ground
Step 4

Most brackets will have a second half to them that you will now install on the tv. Usually it is 2 or 4 fine thread screws depending on the size of the bracket.
Step 5

Once the second half of the bracket is mounted to the tv you can now hang the tv on the bracket that you mounted on the wall. It helps to have an assistant to lift the tv and watch to align it to the bracket. It should just hook over the bracket on the wall and hang there but don't try to pick up on it just yet.
Step 6

Now that the tv is hanging on the wall bracket you can secure it by tightening the locking screws linking the tv bracket and the wall bracket.
