Oct 30, 2023 · One of the biggest mistakes you can make when mounting your TV is to install it in a place that isn’t secure enough. That’s why you should never mount a TV on drywall alone. Otherwise, it could fall down, ruin your wall, break your TV, and potentially injure small children or pets.

- Find the studs. Once you've settled on the perfect spot on the wall, you'll need to find the studs to mount the bracket properly. Mounting your TV wall bracket to the studs provides the structural strength necessary to support a TV that could weigh anywhere between 30 and 100 pounds.
- Mark the hole position. Next you'll need to mark specifically where you plan to screw into the wall. Ideally, you will use a level to ensure that these marks are not only even between the two studs, but also to make sure that the amount will not be slanted.
- Double check the bracket position. With your marks in place, it's time to position the mounting bracket on the wall. First, place the bracket flat against the wall, lining up one screw location with the first marked hole.
- Drill pilot holes. Using a drill, you'll need to drill pilot holes through the drywall and into the studs in the proper positions.

- Your wall type. Another important thing to know before mounting a TV is your wall type. What materials is it made of? Brick? Plywood? Concrete? And are these materials strong enough to hold a wall mount with a TV?
- The wall mount’s specifications. Do you already know your TV’s weight, its holes’ VERA size, and your wall type? If you do, then it’s time to start looking for a wall mount.
