Materials You’ll Need

Step 1: Choose the Perfect Spot for Mounting
First, decide where you want to mount your TV arm. Ensure that the chosen spot provides a comfortable viewing angle and is close to a power outlet. Additionally, consider any potential obstructions or wall studs that may affect the installation.
Step 2: Find and Mark the Wall Studs
Using a stud finder, locate the wall studs behind the chosen spot. Once located, mark the center of each stud with a pencil. This is where the TV arm’s wall mount bracket will be secured to ensure stability.
Step 3: Attach the Wall Mount Bracket
Hold the wall mount bracket against the wall, aligning it with the marked stud centers. Mark the screw hole locations with a pencil. Then, using a drill, create pilot holes at the marked spots. Finally, attach the wall mount bracket securely to the wall using the provided screws and mounting hardware.
Step 4: Prepare the TV
Before attaching the TV bracket to your television, make sure to read the instructions provided with the TV arm kit thoroughly. These instructions will guide you on how to properly secure the TV bracket to the back of your TV. Follow the provided guidelines to ensure a safe and secure installation.
Step 5: Attach the TV to the Wall Mount Bracket
Gently lift your television and carefully align the TV bracket’s mounting holes with the arms of the wall mount bracket. Once aligned, secure the TV bracket using the provided screws or any additional hardware recommended in the instructions. Make sure the TV is properly attached and doesn’t wobble.
Step 6: Verify Stability and Adjust the Viewing Angle
After mounting your TV arm, it’s important to check the stability of the installation. Ensure that the TV is firmly attached to the wall mount bracket and that there are no loose connections. Adjust the arm’s hinge mechanisms to adjust the viewing angle according to your preference. Use a level to ensure the TV is perfectly straight.
Step 7: Conceal Cables
Finally, organize and conceal any cables or wires to achieve a clean and tidy look. There are various cable management solutions available, such as cable raceways or adhesive clips, which can help you neatly route the cables behind your TV arm.
Now that you have successfully mounted your TV arm, sit back, relax, and enjoy your favorite shows with an enhanced viewing experience!
