If you are planning for a new, large, flat screen or plasma Samsung television, wall mounted with matching brackets, don’t ruin that installation by leaving your cables and cords hanging down the wall.
There are a number of styles to choose from when you buy your TV brackets for your Samsung, so make sure you pick one that has a place to hide them.
If you have already made that mistake, there are other options. You could run the power cable behind the wall, though that goes against most building codes, so it isn’t a very good idea. You’d have to hire an electrician to put in an outlet behind the television. Or you could pool the cords on the floor, with a planter or something to hide them, which contradicts the reason to mount it on the wall, doesn’t it?
If you aren’t sure you want to use TV wall brackets, or where is the perfect place to put them, try hanging a picture of a similar size on your walls in various places until you find a comfortable spot. Use masking tape to put the picture up…no sense in marking up your walls. Leave it up there until you are sure it is where you want it. Your wall should have some room on each side of the television, for speakers or art work.
If you chose tilt and swivel wall mounts, you will be able to do some adjusting after it is installed, but you need to consider where you will be sitting, or if in your bedroom, where you head will be when you are watching the TV. Also consider reflection from windows, though some of that can be averted by tilting and swiveling the set.
In a living room or family room, where you usually are seated to watch, you can centre the television height at your tallest family member’s eye level, or install the bottom of the flat screen at eye level with the top closer to your standing height.
As far as installation goes, it’s a two man job, and will take 2-4 hours for a do-it-yourself person. Make certain you thoroughly understand how your TV wall mount works, where it should go, and other pertinent information before you begin installing. Don’t rush…and don’t even start, if you have any questions at all. You will feel much better if you arrange for professional installation of your TV brackets if you are at all unsure.
