Tips & Warnings
Unplgged.com recommends mounting the TV in a corner that has no obstructions to make the job easier. Working around a fireplace, for example, can be tricky.
Before you mount a TV, Home Shelving Guide recommends checking to see if the mount will hold the weight of the TV. A flat-screen TV that weighs more than 125 pounds should be mounted with a dual-arm bracket. TVs that are not as heavy can be mounted using a single-arm bracket.
