I want to wall mount our 55" TV. I see mounts from $12 to $60. I don't
want or need articulating, just flat and maybe the ability to tilt.

I see you mount on the wall and a part on the TV. How do you put them
together? I will have help lifting it in place.

I also know exactly where the studs are. I have a photo of the framed
wall when it was being built and a stud is to the right of a box on the
wall. No guessing there.


You can usually hang these TVs up there yourself because they are not that
heavy


The problem isnt the heavy, its that with something
that big its hard to hold it up and screw the screws
in at the same time and keep it in place so the screws
can go into the holes without a crossed thread.

but it is easier with 2 people. They just hook on top and
snap in on the bottom.


Not all of them are done like that.


Buy one that does. They seem to be the most common.


You'd have to be a moron to buy some piece of crap that requires you to
put screws in it while holding it up to the wall. Apparently they are mighty
dumb down under.
