TV wall mount installation – DIY or professional service

When mounting a TV on the wall, you can either do it yourself or order a wall mounting service when purchasing your TV. Whether you decide to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself or let the professionals handle it, this article explains how to proceed. Please note that you will need a wall mount even if you order the installation service. When ordering a TV, we offer a compatible wall mount alongside the installation service, but you can also choose one yourself using our wall mount selection guide.

Start by determining the TV's position on the wall

Whether you're installing the TV yourself or ordering an installation service, you should decide on the height and placement beforehand. These factors also influence your choice of TV and wall mount.

When choosing the location, consider the following:

• the viewing experience is optimal from all distances and angles
• there are no water pipes or electrical wires behind the mounting points
• mounting points align with wall studs or support structures when installing on drywall
• the TV's power cord reaches the outlet from the chosen position.

How high should you mount your TV?

In the living room, the center of the TV should be roughly at eye level to prevent neck strain. Test the height by sitting on your sofa and visualizing the placement from different angles. Choose a height that works for various viewing positions and fits your interior design.

In the bedroom, the TV can be mounted slightly higher, as it's often viewed from a reclined or lying position.

In office meeting rooms, ensure the screen is clearly visible over the table. Consider the viewing distance: the closer people sit, the lower the screen should be to reduce neck strain. In larger conference rooms where people sit further away, mount the screen higher so everyone can see the content. For the best results, mark the height with masking tape and check the view from both the closest and furthest seats.

Consider the viewing height when choosing a wall mount – if a fixed position doesn't work for all angles, opt for a height-adjustable or tilting mount.
