Do I have to use studs for a TV mount?

• <div><p>It’s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can’t find the studs or there simply aren’t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It’s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you’re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors. </p></div>

Q: Do I have to use studs for a TV mount?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can&rsquo;t find the studs or there simply aren&rsquo;t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It&rsquo;s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you&rsquo;re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors. </p></div>

Q: Can I mount a TV on a brick wall?

• <div><p>Yes, you can mount a TV on a brick wall. This process may take a little more time and different tools, however. You&rsquo;ll need to directly drill mounting holes into the bricks using a masonry drill and masonry bits instead of a regular power drill. Masonry drills have the power and design to drill into denser surfaces like brick. Use either plastic anchors or concrete screws to mount your TV. </p></div>

Q: Who do you hire to mount a TV?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/need-wall-mount-your-flat-screen-tv-hire-pro.htm">Finding a professional to mount your television</a> to the wall is a little challenging because no licenses exist for this type of work. You could ask friends or neighbors for recommendations. Check out online reviews, too. Typically, though, almost any local handyman can do the work. A local electronics store or the place where you bought the TV may have a recommendation for you. A local framer or drywall installer might do the work for you as well. If you need an outlet installed for the new TV, an electrician may do both items for you.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Can you put a TV on a fireplace mantel?

• <div><p>In most cases, you should not put a TV on a fireplace mantel. The minimum width required to put a TV safely on a shelf or mantel is 10 inches, but pre-made mantels are usually too shallow, averaging at only seven inches deep. If you do choose to place a TV above a mantel, it should be mounted to the wall. However, do so cautiously as heat radiating from the fireplace could potentially cause damage to electronics.</p></div>

Q: Which is better: mounting a TV on a wall or mounting it on a stand?

• <div><p>Determining if mounting a TV on the wall or mounting it on a stand is better boils down to personal preference. TV mounts are an excellent choice for homes that have limited space, unruly dogs, or young children. They also allow you to customize the height and viewing angle more easily. At the same time, mounting a TV on an entertainment center stand offers additional storage space, a place to hide the wires, and fewer holes in the wall. Renters may also have limitations on drilling holes into the wall above certain diameters.</p></div>
