One thing that’s so often overlooked after buying a flatscreen TV is thinking about how and where you’re going to hang it. You may have some ideas on were abouts you intend to put the TV, but did you consider exactly how you’re going to put it there? What you need is a plasma wall mount bracket, and a little bit of know-how and your TV will be off the floor and on your wall in no time.
Installing plasma TV brackets is childsplay. I say that because I’ve done it so many times myself. A crucial part is choosing the correct bracket for the job, and arguably, the number of brackets to choose from is somewhat of a minefield. Just make sure you ask your supplier for plenty of advice, they (should) know the models inside out. Tell them what you’ve got and you should get all sorts of options back; a flat panel bracketcan fit snugly to the wall, some move up and down, and brackets with full motion for pointing your TV any which way you please.
Getting a bracket with full motion is the best solution to go for. People often think they’ll never want to move their TV once it’s installed but I guarantee that one day come you’ll say “we should have got the bracket that lets you move it!and you’ll kick yourself. It will probably involve a Wii.
Once you’ve got your bracket, installing it is much easier than you might think. You’ll need to drill a few holes, and if you’re fitting it to plasterboard you’ll need to plug the holes with wall plugs. Fix the bracket to the wall, screw in the screws provided and slip on the plasma screen. This stuff is (almost) easy enough for a children to do it!
