I want to hang a 19″ (13-lb) TV from a wall in my dorm room using something different than a traditional TV wall mount. The wall is actually a wooden partition separating a closet from the rest of my room. The partition is attached to a dorm wall starting about two inches below the ceiling. Is there any kind of TV wall mount or any close substitute that could be hung over the wall partition?
Although there are not too many positive aspects about the current recession, the fact that people are still having fun and entertaining themselves says a lot about their spirit. The numbers of folk having nights out and drinking heavily remaining constant may be down to the fact that people are still socializing a great deal. However, recent reports of losses by pubs and restaurant chains may mean that socializing is now turning towards staying at home and taking advantage of the advances in audiovisual equipment. The humble television has evolved greatly since the 1970s and 80s with today’s set being almost unrecognizable from what has been previously available.
We bought a new house and the guy who owned it before us is a homebuilder. He said do not mount a television over the fireplace because of the heat inside the chimney an also it would be impossible getting the cords through the studs in the wall and brick. We had our hearts set on putting it there and don’t think it would really hurt the tv. Thoughts?
If you got the money to spend on a 40″ LCD TV – don’t be such a tightwad as to buy cheap mountings, buy good quality mountings – the TV was expensive – why risk it falling
Preliminary notes: I have included a fairly comprehensive guide to properly Installing Your TV Wall Mount below. I highly recommend you read through it and understand the process. However, I also know that you might want a shorter checklist version without the fluff that you could print off and use while installing your TV Wall Mount. I have added that below the guide as well. Enjoy and best of luck in your professional-looking TV Wall mount installation.
If you’re mounting on a wall, be sure you attach the screen to a wall stud. That’s the more solid part of the wall, which usually alternates with less sturdy wallboards. These sections are not really safe for attaching a heavy item like a plasma screen. Bear in mind that the distance between wall studs can vary from home to home, so double-check yours will fit your screen. Some plasma mounts even hang from the ceiling, which can look amazing, But you’ll need to be sure you attach it to a sturdy ceiling joist to avoid the costly and dangerous disaster of an unsecure mounting, There’s a bit more planning with a ceiling mount as you’ll need to find the best height for the screen, but it can mean the screen is visible across a wider angle, which is great if you have a large family. However, with a ceiling mount, you’ll usually need a set-up where a single cable runs to the screen, and all the connections are in a separate box.
