Here are the top 5 TV mounting mistakes we see all the time — and how you can avoid them:

1. Mounting the TV Too High (or Too Low)

We get it — above the fireplace looks sleek. But mounting your TV too high can lead to serious neck strain, especially if you’re watching for long periods.

Pro Tip:

The ideal eye-level position is to have the center of the screen at about 42–48 inches from the floor when you’re seated.

2. Choosing the Wrong Wall Anchors

Drywall isn’t strong enough to support a TV by itself. If you use the wrong anchors (or no anchors at all), your TV could end up on the floor — or worse.

Pro Tip:

Always secure your mount to wall studs or use heavy-duty anchors specifically rated for your TV’s weight.

3. Skipping Wire Management

Nothing ruins a beautiful wall-mounted TV faster than a mess of hanging wires. It looks unfinished and unprofessional — especially in living rooms or office spaces.

Pro Tip:

Consider in-wall wire concealment for a sleek, cable-free finish, or use surface-mounted cord covers that can be painted to match the wall.

4. Using the Wrong Type of Mount

Not all mounts are created equal. Some TVs require special brackets, and not every mount works with every wall type. We’ve seen everything from falling TVs to mounts that won’t tilt or swivel correctly.

Pro Tip:

Choose the right mount for your viewing needs — fixed, tilting, or full motion — and ensure it’s VESA-compatible with your TV model.

5. Not Leveling the Mount Properly

It might sound basic, but crooked TVs are one of the most common issues we fix. Even a small tilt can drive you crazy once you notice it.

Pro Tip:

Use a laser level or professional tools — eyeballing it rarely works out. Or better yet, let us handle it.
