I originally posted about this a few weeks back. Yesterday I finally
put up the mount and TV.

The TV is on an outside wall between two windows. i wanted to screw
into studs so it is a couple of inches off center. I could have
easily centered and put one side in a stud and the other side with
plastic anchors, but chose wood.

I have a 55" TV. Some articles I read say the center of the screen
should be 61" from the floor. Mine is 53" by choice. Good view from
my recliner at that height.

Anyone that can use a drill, driver, pencil and level can put up the
bracket. You really need a helper to hang the TV though.

After having the TV on a stand for years it seemed a bit high at
first, but after a few minutes, it was quite natural and easy on the
eyes. Glad I did it.


I don't like TV's at a height that you must look up to. That's one
reason I have avoided hanging the TV from the wall, but even more is
the wire management required in order to not look at a bunch of black
wires hanging down. How did you deal with that since this is an
outside wall and how much di you have to pay for new cables?


For me it was easy when the house was being built. They put a
recepticle up high and a plate covering a wire though that allows the
cable to go down in the wall and exit where the cable connection is.

I still have wires around. Speaker bar, sub woofer, cable box, Amazon
Fire. Neater than it was though.
