Hanging up the TV - tips for wall mounting, optimal height, etc.


A flat-screen television nowadays usually occupies a central place in the living room and can be integrated very well into any interior. Since modern TV sets are becoming flatter and larger, they are particularly effective when hung on the wall . Wall mounting saves space and ensures a viewing experience like in a cinema. Before you hang up your TV, there are a few points to consider. Read here which is the best height and what else you need to know.

The manual can be used to check whether the television is suitable for mounting on the wall. Almost all flat screen televisions have special thread extinguishers on the rear wall for mounting fastening systems. These thread extinguishers are spaced from each other according to the VESA standards (Video Electronics Standards Association). The Vesa standard is usually given, but if not, you can also determine the VESA dimension yourself .

If you plan to hang a curved TV on the wall , the best thing to do is to choose a rotating wall bracket. So you can get the best view of the device, no matter where you sit in the room. The curved screen only offers the promised spatiality in a central position, while there can be significant distortions when viewed from the side. The protruding edges of the curved display can also look a bit strange when wall-mounted.

How high should you hang a TV?

The basic rule is: The top third or the middle of the television picture should sit at eye level. If you sit normally on the couch, the optimal eye level is approx. 1 meter. A flat-screen TV can also work very well if the lower edge hangs approx. 1.50 m high.

The seat distance to the screen should usually be three times the screen diagonal. With a 55-inch television (139 cm), for example, the optimal distance is 2 - 3 m, whereas with a 65-inch television it should already be 4.12 - 4.95 m.

Hang the TV on the plasterboard?

Brick walls and concrete can easily carry heavy weight. Rigid walls, however, are too weak. Check how heavy your flat screen and how thick the plaster wall is. Keep in mind that the weight of the TV and the wall bracket must be added together. It is also important that the dowels, which are usually supplied with a TV wall bracket, are not suitable for every type of wall. Especially with plasterboard walls, special dowels should be used that form a knot in cavities. Basically, the more screws, the more secure the television hangs. For optimal stability it is better to use eight or more screws for fastening.

Hang up the TV and hide the cables

The elegance of the chic flat screen suffers considerably when various annoying connection cables protrude. Cable ducts are quickly mounted on the wall, but are only visible after installation and do not make the whole thing much more attractive. Instead of hanging the TV directly on the wall, you can also attach it to a wall panel. The Cinewall TV wall, for example, is an innovative complete system that consists of various combinable sets and ensures optimal cable coverage. The choices in terms of colors and decor are great. If you like it bright, close to nature and discreet, you can use TV wall panels with a wood look.

Extensions for all TV accessories

A TV wall should still offer space for peripheral devices and can be expanded with a sideboard. Receivers, game consoles, Blu-Ray players can be easily stored in shelves with a depth of around 40 cm. So you can easily reach them at any time, with the cable clutter hidden behind modern doors.
