There are different types of wall mounts that offer varying motion options for your TV. Depending on the placement of the TV you may choose to have a flat mount a tilting mount or an articulation or cantilever mount. Each mount has specific benefits as listed below:
1. Flat/Fixed
This type of mount will keep the TV snug against the wall which allows for a clean look from the side of the TV. You will see no wires from the side view and the TV will remain in a fixed position as close to the wall as possible
2. Flat/Tilt
This type of mount will keep the TV close to the wall but allow for up to a 15 degree tilt. This is a great benefit when the TV is to be mounted higher on the wall such as in the case of mounting above a fireplace. The user can tilt the TV down in order to reduce glare or to make the TV easier to see from seating below.
3. Swing Arms
This type of mount will hold the TV off the wall in an increased distance from that of the flat or tilt mount. This mount will allow the user to swivel or pan the TV from side to side in order to increase the viewing angle of the TV. This is a beneficial option in a large room that has more than one group of seating that may be utilized in watching the TV
4. Articulating/Cantilever
Like the swing arm this type of mount will typically protrude a few inches off the wall. The ability to pull out and pan the TV up to 180 degrees allows the TV to be viewed from 2 different adjoining rooms. Another use for this type of arm would be when installing the TV in an armoire or entertainment cabinet the user could hide the TV inside when not in use and simply pull it out when its time to watch TV.

you know the most beautiful thing i find in this world is people who know actually what to do and make it easy to do things. this gentlemen is one of those
Thank you, Abdul. What a kind thing to say. Hope the video helped!

I liked this comment to make it 100 lmao
Good people
“I like how that feels”
Drills straight through drywall.
Vershima Ajo it’s a metal stud.
The zip fasteners and bolt system he used holds at least 80 lbs each. They can be used directly in the drywall.... Actually they hold more than 80 lbs each.
His Image don't forget that drywall will fail before the actual toggle bolt
@@arsengames... Yes true that the drywall does fail in some cases. But the engineering of the plate on the wall with the zip fasteners 2@100lbs and he found the studs on the other side so each bolt will not be holding the full weight of the TV. And the zip fasteners are rated with a lower weight so that if we use them we shouldn't get close to there failing point. Or putting as much stress on the drywall in one place so It can rip.
His Image 1/4 toggle bolts are rated to hold up to 265 pounds in a 1/2 sheetrock if I remember correctly. But a good rule of thumb is to divide whatever number by 4. So yeah, around 65-85lb.
30 seconds in and I’ve seen all of the tools required and I’m like no thanks I’ll just keep my tv on dresser 😂 bye.
Gerard 😆
Same 😭😭
💀💀💀
Likewise, I only have the pencil
😂😂
Talk about people making what would have been a complex thing so simple. I have a feeling that after watching this video, a 10 year old can do this task. Absolutely brilliant.
I knew you were a professional when I saw the gloves.
ruclips.net/video/-ejStFiKR8c/видео.html
Kleetus the troops p,nfddccdxjkl"
Hahaha
Loool 💯
but he missed the studs
is this strong enough to do pull-ups off my tv?
The man who mounted my 75 inch to the wall was missing 1 bolt and says "ahhhh don't worry about it. 3 is enough!!" The TV gradually started tilting to one side. I hate people who do half ass jobs.
You should have made him go back and finish the job! You paid him!
@@davonfryar-frazier435 yea idk why the hell you let him walk away with a job undone lol i would have ripped him a new one if someone tried pulling that shit on me. like nahh youre finiahing that shit right now or you aint getting a damn dime
That wasn't half-assed, it was three-quarters-assed.
He should have just agreed with paying customer and zipped a bolt through drywall even though it wouldn't hold a thing its for peace of mind asthetics and customer's way of feeling they are the boss.
Do it yourself then lazy stupid
Looks luke the first holes were just drywall holes and the second was studs...
Yes some shot straight through and some put up a fight! Think he missed the studs one side.
Nice video.
I knew what had to be done before hand, but it's always good to watch a professional do it first.
Beautiful finish. Thanks for the short and concise illustration. I yelled, "Careful" as you hung the television. God Bless you, Sir.
It's always a good idea to plug in your HDMI and other cables to the back of the TV before setting it on the wall.
Not if the jacks are on the side
This is the way things are fixed. Real professional approach in fixing and its presentation!!!
The best video I’ve found. I’ll have to play it back a lot because you work fast but this is great!!
Hi patrick roland! Glad we could help. Thanks for watching!
@@abtelectronics how do I find those fasteners?
@@brochess049 @Abt Electronics I was also wondering where to get the fasteners. Also, why do you use fasteners if you’re drilling into the studs. I thought fasteners were just for drywall. Can someone please explain? Thank you.
@@abtelectronics I meant to reply to your comment. Could you please see my reply to Lee 049 above about the fasteners? Thanks.
I just installed my wall bracket on wooden studs! If you notice all the holes you can still go into studs and keep your bracket exactly where you want. Drill lots of pilot holes in case stud finder isn’t perfect patch wall after it’s no big deal it will be hidden by huge tv
when he drilled one side it went through easy, the other side was like he was actually drilling into wood. I think his stud finder is suss
glad someone else noticed i think he just didn’t care because the stud finder didn’t even go off when he went over the left “stud” lmao
Hahaha 100%. He did a dodgy job!
Ya and the right side is a metal stud. But those togglers he put in the wall should be able to hold up to 250lbs
im glad im not the only one that noticed that lol
Of course it’s faulty. He didn’t test the stud finder on himself first.
Well of course if you’ve hang over 20,000 TVs you’re obviously a pro at it and don’t need any assistance😊. Awesome video! Thanks...found it very helpful in saving me from having to pay an arm and a leg to have it done,
This guy is awesome...! in just 7 minutes got almost everything done, I just learned lot of today by your cool educational video man..!.
Thanks.
the camera angle while mounting makes me so happy
Can I just hire someone to do this. The more videos I watch the more confused I get
Edit: Recently got a notification about this thread. Crazy to think that I posted this 4-5 years ago when I was still in HS. To the racist waste of space who replied... I'm not from Mexico idiot and being told to go back to Mexico isn't an insult. I've met amazing Mexicans over the years and I'll make sure to visit one of their beautiful resorts post covid. You, on the other hand, should invest in a globe. To all the others in the comments who were rude... take a chill pill. I was a 17 year old girl who purchased a small smart tv after getting her first job. I didn't want to ruin my parents walls. To all those that replied to let me know that yes, this is a service I could pay a nice hard working person.. thanks!! Ironically, four years later I got my degree in engineering and I work with machinery all day now. So a few holes on the wall don't scare me anymore.
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.that's what happened to me.looooooool
Yes. Expect to pay about $200, though.
dumbass
just dont think too much. go and do it.
seriously?? i never know how to do it til i seen this vid. this one looks very easy. i bought a wall mount and placed it in the corner.............til i seen this. i can do it myself now. DIY!!!
Dude we really need such professionals here in India. It's so satisfactory to watch it.
Great instructional video, thank you. Looks fairly straightforward with the right tools and hardware. Are you able to provide more detail regarding the fasteners used? I haven't seen that "slide & snap" type of fastener before. Cheers.
the man just pulled out an impact and said it was "a little loud" like the bracket was a little heavy after he's done about 20,000 tvs he's so humble #sacrifices #murica #manup
Just so you guys know, he did use the studs, only these aren't wood studs, they are metal studs. Metal studs are hollow, that's why if you watch the video, when he is drilling the pilot holes there is some resistance for a second or two and then the drill gets through the stud.
He is then installing the fasteners into the hollow steel stud.
Nothing wrong with this method, unless maybe you are installing an 8 year old plasma TV or something very heavy.
I'm a bit confused, aren't you supposed to drill screws into the studs? If he used fasteners, why did he have to locate studs if the fasteners just latch on behind the wall? or they are latching onto the metal stud?
Thank you.. I was thinking.. what the hell did he hit? That sounds like sheet metal.. lol Did commercial drywall when I was a kid.. I should have known.
This guy is straight forward measurements and all!! Watched a ton of other videos and he DEF is most fluent.. No skip No pause #RealDeal
Why did you mark the studs if you didn't use them? Wouldn't it be better to mount a 70 lb TV into studs if you can, rather than drywall? I'd feel better about it. And since you located the studs, why not mount into them?
I am wondering the same thing
You are exactly right all tv wall mounts should be attached with lag bolts into the wall studs. Drywall should never be used to support a tv. If he did this 20,000 times he did it wrong 20,000 times!
+Ricardo X Steel studs. didn't you notice the bit snag when he punched through each one?
+Steve Bruns You better watch the video again. The first 2 holes blew right through the drywall. The second 2 he hit something but who knows what.
first two holes missed the stud and he act as if we weren't going to notice...smh
Very nice!
But a very quick dust wipe off the bracket before hanging the TV would be a cherry on top of the cake ;)
And here I thought I was going to use a screw driver for this 😩
Bishhhh i screamedddd lmaooo sis well now u know😂😂😂😂
That was really funny
IAm Destiny ?
IAm Destiny Ong
You can lol just takes longer
After watching the vedio, my long time of mounting my flat screen just over.
You are good Mr.
The first two holes didn’t hit a stud. Pay attention how easy the first two go in and then compare to the second set. You can even hear the drill struggle more.
That's what the fasteners are for.
I was thinking 🤔 the same thing
Exactly!!
I noticed that too. He showed us that he used the stud finder in both locations, but he clearly didn't hit the stud on the first two.
@@MrSPEEDY20 mounted TV should always be secured on the studs, specially big heavy TVs. There are some exceptions
When preparing to Mount a 50 inch tv on what is to be a game room, I was looking for a dry wall anchor that I could install with confidence. The FLIPTOGGLE
1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Toggle Bolt (10-Pack), picked up the anchors used in this video which worked perfectly.
After watching this, I went back to my Plan A
Hire the technician 👨🔧
Is it expensive
Eugene hofmann no really, I got my Tv delivered and fixed free
PERFECT! Without any crazy rocket scientist measurements skills...
20,000 tvs.... man has been mounting 5 tvs a day for 10 years LOL
haha
+Dan Ash yeah if your job is a professional Electronics installer like he said in the beginning of the video, then that sounds about right.
+Dan Ash and there were flat screen tvs in 2003
+viaductdreams What is he doing wrong? Seriously interested as I want to hang my own TV.
he was just guessing. Not an accurate number.
This was what I needed to hear. Some people complain about this and that but here is someone who does this often and he uses snaptoggles. I will buy them for my project, a small 43" TV into metal studs. thanks!
I don't understand why you made a point of finding the studs, but then used Snap Toggles instead of simply screwing into the studs.
For the people that have to use studs
Right
Very confusing left side just dry wall .Right side drywall and metal .does not explain things well. He did not hit any studs .what an idiot
Thank you so much, your video helped me to choose the right tv wall mount and install it by my self.
Thanks for the tutorials. Quick question for you.
1. Did you mount the TV into drywall itself or to the studs? I know you found where the studs were and looks like you mounted it to drywall or it seemed like it to me. What was the purpose of finding studs?
2. How do you make sure that there is no any electrical wiring behind the drywall you are making holes?
Thank you so much.
I used to put up sheet rock. There are no wires where the studs are. and yes you drill the screws, bolts, etc. into the studs so they hold.
@@lonewanderer5394 so what’s the purpose of the anchors if you’re already going through the studs? I thought it was either go through the studs or use the anchors. Am I wrong?
It's possible he found the studs so that he could dodge them and use anchors, that's the only thing I can think of
Was wondering the same, why use anchors if drilling into the studs. That was a little confusing. Overall big help. I’ve already hung an arm one, this type was next. Thx!
1: Since he used the dry wall anchors, definitely he didn't mount to the studs. For heavy TV's, I rather mount to the studs. While drilling right side holes, yes, he did encounter stud but the video did not show difficulties of trying to mount the wall anchors (once inserted, needs to form T in the back). 2: For most homes, electrical lines run horizontally about a foot from the floor and code says you need to put metal plate on the studs so we don't accidently drill or hammer a nail thru it.
I don't even want to mount a TV on the wall but I was curious as to how it was done. Good to know, he made it look easy
Lol I'm here watching my dad and my uncle bumble around trying to mount my uncles flatscreen onto the wall now. It's hilarious plus I keep pointing out the guy in the video finished before they did and he was by himself and I started the video much after they had started. LMAO my uncle just realized he had a drill and him and my dad have been trying to screw it in with screwdrivers lol.
***** It's always best to have the necessary tools.
ruclips.net/video/-ejStFiKR8c/видео.html
Thats a lamp, not a wall mount.
This guy has the power of editing too. 7 minutes? I've seen 14 hour slow cooked smoked briskets done within 30 minutes on TV cooking programs. Tain't fair to compare your dad and unc's punch time card to TV labor.
Honor thy father and mother...His effort and intent is what matters.
You are a very professional stud finder. In your next video could you show once again how professionally you find wall studs. Thx
The ending is funny. "TV on the wall!"
revolsami lol...
+revolsami Pretty non awkward....
Not for long
Like any job completed by a first class tradesman, it looks easy. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this video, I now know I should just pony up the 170 bucks for professional installation and not risk my new tv.
170!! Jesus
Professionally installed. Home Depot sells does anchor for $50.00 a bag.
I think he's hot...but that might just be me really wanting my tv to be mounted
Imani Shmani lmfao

I'm the stud finder 👀
Best video I have seen on how to mount a tv. Thank you!!
That head of hair deserves its own channel.
that looks easy, ...I have 50 inches led TV on the floor, So I am gonna try to put it on the wall..thanks for the tip.

How to Mount a Flat Screen "Like A Boss" should have been the title of this Vide!
I'm getting my LED TV and wall bracket in 5 days time, and here I came to learn how to mount TV on the wall.. Whoa! It's so easy 😂😂
I'm so confused, why did you check for the studs and than not screw into the studs. Those toggle bolts are for when you are just using the sheet rock.
Exactly!
This dude knows how to screw holes.
ok, no disrespect for what this guy did, but always mount your $4000 tv on solid studs with long thick ass fasteners, do NEVER hang a tv on drywall, no matter how good you think your anchors are. don't fall for marketing bullshit.
Especially if you have kids or crazy teens at home.
yeah good advice bud bitch slap them right... it sounds like you have a lot of experience with kids.
I'm with you on this certified30. This is a disaster waiting to happen.
Snap toggle bolts are amazing. Never ever had a problem with them and they are strong as fuck. Sometimes you have no choice but to go into dry wall and that's what the are for and will hold a ton. My question is he used a stud finder which leads me to believe that's what he mounted to, so why use the toggle bolts?
einsp227 he used a stud finder to avoid the studs not to mount on them.
Then there's no need to mark the center of the stud as he did after finding both edges, he could have just marked the edges and got the same result.
An Aussie here, i am looking at mounting my new tv on the wall at my place for the first time ever, and hiding the cords and cables in the process. so i am looking to others on here to see basically what is required. We all learn things by watching the efforts of others, and despite this bloke having his system down pat, the one glaringly obvious take away here is ..... that I would never trust mounting a tv into plaster dry wall.... even just the two on the left. Its studs all the way.... but I already knew that
Looks like you missed some 2x4's there buddy! But then you hung like 20 thousand tv's already right?
i love when he says “basic” tools and then he points out at two different drills...yeah, like we all have those expensive drills at home, plus in two sizes lmao
You need atleast one drill for the house man it makes everything easier! Get an impact drill you'll love it.
If you found the stud, why do you need the fasteners?
I'm guessing that he didn't really find the studs
yeah that drill went in way too easy. he hit drywall
Jaleh White because this is a commercial building and those are steel studs
Josiah Brainard so residential with wood studs i wouldn't need fasteners?
Jaleh White that was what i was wondering
i did my first one, I got lucky :-) there were holes left by the old mount that matched up with the "new" mount plate
I took measurements from the bottom of the mount plate to the bottom of the tv, to determine where the bottom of the tv will be on the wall and how high up I need to go for the place where the bottom of the mount plate will sit!
I went into drywall/stud for all four screws, eventually going to run into where one side or the other or all 4 holes are only drywall its going to be cool using those snap anchors. other vids are saying each one can hold 70 pounds. so 4 is 280 pounds. way more than enough. I like those snap anchor design.
I like your video. Very informative. You make it easy. I am looking to hang two 32 inch Vizio LCDs, side by side. Where can I find a single mount for dual tv's or should I use two wall mounts? What type of fasteners did you use and where could get them?
You can use either two mounts or a single dual-mount. The advantage of two separate mounts will be the choices you'll have, because there aren't a lot of dual-display mounts on the market and they're usually intended for computer monitors (so 32" TVs might be too large for them). You'll probably pay less for a pair of single mounts than a single, specialized dual mount. The disadvantage of using two wall mounts is making sure they're perfectly aligned so your monitors aren't crooked next to eachother.
The fasteners we used are called Snaptoggle anchors. You need them when you're fastening to just drywall or to a steel stud (not when you hit a wooden stud) and you can find them at Home Depot or most any hardware store.
Kevin Crossley i would suggest using 2 mounts.
Abt what size snaptoggle would be appropiate for a 32 in tv ??
Great instructional video.
Where can we get those wall anchors that you use in this vid?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO IT IS PERFECT FOR MY TV INSTALLATION.
Laughed at some girl who didn’t know how to mount a tv (damaged wall and tv) and felt hypocritical. Thanks for the video, I can laugh at the situation without guilt now!
so...did you or didnt you drill into the studs? why did one side of drilling go easier than the other side?
right
Cos he didn't drill level to the holes. Using a step ladder would have made this easier as he was clearly struggling on the right hand side.
There's was probably just some electrical or a gas line or some dumb shit on the right side.
Right side said you gotta buy me dinner first
First thing to do as a certified installer is to arrange a power source and media behind tv so you don’t see wires hanging down the wall.
"Tv On The Wall" Video finishes! Then Tv Falls Of The Wall! lol
Why would it?
Hahaha
I thought the same thing, it cut off right before falling down. :D
+Pl4yer4Life lol hahah
lol
Thx!! I'm not a carpenter & didn't know that I needed so much.
He made it look so easy!
Come on cameraman... help the man lift the TV up to hang it lol ;) Good stuff, btw. You make it all look so simple.
Do you recommend using spacers? I hear that's useful to allow air circulation and to prevent the tv from over heating.
Dave you are a pro! Just in case nobody mentions it
Good thing he had on gloves it looked chilly in there
That 2nd stud was gnarly.........
Thanks! You make it look so easy.
This tv will not fall. Metal stud on right no stud on left... clearly. But the anchors will hold it up no doubt. Just funny that the back plate he’s using is clearly big enough to hit two studs... but for anyone watching... the tv will not fall though and I’m not hating on this guy for spreading knowledge. Good video.
Is this TV wireless? The hardest part of mounting a TV is routing the cords so they are invisible. Would like to see that in addition to the basic install info shown here.
+Snipely The TV is not wireless, the wires will be tucked into the wall. Thanks for the suggestion on hiding the wires, I'll pass it onto our video production team and if possible, we may make a video detailing that.
+Snipely Actually that's the easiest part, two holes, one at the top , one at the bottom, fish the cables trough with a snake wire or something like that, unless you're doing in on a outside wall, too tight...
I’m liking how that feels!!!
Am I the only one who notice the frist 2 holes he made hit nothing but drywall ?
Great video! 20,000 TVs over 10 years. So, you’re telling me you’ve hung 5 TVs a day, everyday of the year for 10 years? Your family must really miss you for Christmas... lol
Dave, who you playing? you know you missed those damn studs.
what are those? that's the only part that confused me
a stud is a wall frame?
lol
he used toggle bolts in the studs. Which confused me as well. I was under the assumption you dont need toggle bolts if you're hitting studs.
They are metal studs. Definitely looks like hole 3 & 4 had some resistance when he drilled.
4 of those toggle fasteners are plenty strong enough to hold that sized TV to the wall (even without hitting a stud).
He did this right.. and well.. I know cause I do the same thing at work everyday tv after tv. First off.. toggles which are the fasteners he used are very strong in drywall alone and he did go into a stud frame on the right side. Hanging a tv that small and light on drywall only is ok if you are using a strong fastener like a toggle. hitting a stud on one side of the mount only strengthens it that much more. That tv weighs like 40 pounds. Now if you were hanging up a 100 + pound tv then hitting a stud is a good idea but frankly even the drywall will hold 100 pounds easily with 4 snap toggles holding the mount. They are also idiot proof as they cant be over torqued and weakened like tappers or anchors can.
I watched this video, tried to hang a TV at Grandmas. Ended up falling through the wall and rupturing a water line in the process. Grandma was mad. Never found those studs and now I have cancer.
glamisfanatic shit
Damn son
This made me laugh so hard.. LOL I hope you are ok.
whoa so THAT'S how you use carpenter pants... this man is greatness
So the studs are marked and avoided?
Victorino Castellon i
Yes
What are studs? And why do you avoid them?
I've done LOTS of 'guy stuff' for decades. Quite well. Having correct tools helps, but I'm a great improvisor. Best way is watch every video...and if any friends are putting their TV (s) up, go help them!
Then, after all practiced up, they can return the favor. Ask lots of Ace Hardware, HD, Lowe's people advice. Somewhere in the middle will be what is most correct. And they'll show the niftiest new things to use. And knowing the type of material behind sheetrock on wall to be mounted is crucial. As each will demand a different type anchor for bolting plate. Metal or wood studs, or concrete block. It's sort of a 'one and a half person job'. But one can manage most sizes.
Did he add fasteners into a stud?
Baby boy Dave who has been doing it for over 10 years and still gets drywall dust all over himself. And he probably goes through 1 half inch bit a week the way he goes through aluminum studs with it... Or electrical panels. 😂
Didn't look like he hit the studs?
He only hit the studs on the right side, the left side was just drywall. Toggler bolts are designed to work with both metal studs and drywall, although I would never just use the drywall when I can just as easily find the stud. I do this for a living
I think they were metal studs.
Yes you are correct they were metal studs, but it appears he only hit the studs on the right side.
Very nice, do the fasteners come with the wall bracket kit ? I gonna try this tmrw. A video with showing how to connect the cables would be very nice !
20,000 and still can barely drill straight
Better off bolting into the studs if you can and using a mount that pulls out for easy access to the back. I purchased a Tiger Claw for a 58"
i'm a Stud - can that thing find me?
really now? its youtube dawg who cares..dont take it serious
wow you trying too hard dude.. sound like a dumb ass for real.
fucking illiterate american pratt !
cock
csyd22 haha yeah funny shit right there :D
“Using my stud finder I locate and mark the center of each stud. Then I drill the holes, completely missing the studs on the left and use wall anchors instead (and hope nobody notices)”
🤣
TheHawk05 : love your response
Remember kids mark the studs so you can totally miss them, you wouldn't want to mount something to studs vs sheetrock 🤣😂🤣😂
Excellent...I had to hire someone to do such a simple job.
come here pencil

The best tv wall mount vid on you tube, thanks.
Three flat screen TVs on walls in my house. All mounted ON STUDS with beefy wood screws. I just don't trust any other method.
Where are you located? After watching this, I don't want anyone else hanging my tv other than you!
I stopped it 1 minute in... "wait, where do I get those gloves!!!?"...
