How to Mount a TV on the Wall
Mounting an LCD or LED TV on a wall improves the entertainment experience in many ways. Not only can you save space but also give a lustrous look to your entertainment room. Mounting the TV on a wall is fairly easy. Of course, you will need studs to provide strength so the TV can be mounted on the wall. It is important to choose the right type of studs. Low quality studs should be avoided to avoid damage to your delicate LCD TV. Manufacturers recommend placing an LCD TV at a height where eye level of the viewer is below the centre of the screen.
