How To Mount A TV Safely
What to know before mounting a TV in a Reno home or apartment.
Know the Wall Type
Drywall over wood studs is different from metal studs, masonry, tile, or older wall materials. Wall type determines the hardware.
Match the Mount to the TV
The mount must fit the TV size, VESA pattern, and weight. Full-motion mounts require especially secure anchoring.
Choose the Right Height
A comfortable viewing height usually matters more than centering the TV on the wall. Fireplaces often push TVs higher than ideal.
Avoid Unsafe Cable Work
Low-voltage cable management is different from electrical relocation. New outlets or in-wall power should be handled by a licensed electrician.
