Not to mention the potential danger of a falling TV injuring a family member or a pet.
Hiring professional TV mounting services can help you avoid all of these risks at a price you can afford.
The benefits of TV wall mounting
There are many reasons why you should mount your TV on a wall. Some of our customers have limited space in their home or apartment, others just want a more modern interior aesthetic that a TV mount can provide. The latest flat screen TV models are more secure on a TV mount instead of placed on top of a table or dresser.
Our service professionals can meet every installation challenge in any type of home and building materials. So why should you consider having your TV mounted to the wall?
Converse floor space
Available space can be at a premium for many homeowners and renters. Buying a new TV doesn’t have to take up valuable floor space in your living room, bedroom, or outdoor patio. Today’s flat screen TV’s are more lightweight and slimmer than ever before. These technological advancements have made for a sharper, brighter picture and more amenable wall mounting.
It’s true most TV’s come with attachable pedestal legs or feet but you still need to have a flat surface like a dresser, media cabinet, or table on which to place the TV. When you mount the TV to a wall there is no need for extra furniture and the result is wider space and a more open floor plan in your room.
More viewing angle options
You have a wide range of TV wall mount options for use with your flat screen TV. Many mounts can hang the TV on your wall in the same manner as a picture frame. It sits parallel to the wall and remains in that position. But a full motion wall mount offers more flexibility and versatility for maneuvering the screen into a number of different positions. You can tilt the TV up and down, right to left, even twist it sideways if you prefer.
Safety concerns
Since the latest TV’s are thinner and lighter their center of gravity has changed. This makes them more vulnerable to getting toppled over by mistake. Someone may unwittingly knock into it, a young child might tip it over, even a careless pet could accidentally send it plunging to the floor.
This could end up injuring a loved one and severely damaging the TV. But if you mount the TV to your wall, those perils are eliminated entirely – as long as the work has been done by a qualified TV mounting professional from NYC TV mounting.

We recommend hiring a TV mounting service company to ensure the safety and security of your device. Many of our customers have called us after attempting to install a TV mount to the wall.

Give us a call or schedule your appointment through the booking portal on our website. Before you do, be sure you are prepared to supply some pertinent information needed to best address your particular TV mounting needs:
Size of your television
The first thing we need to know is the size of the TV in inches. The wall mount needed for installation is going to vary depending on the TV. A 32” TV will require a different mount than an 84” TV. The size of the TV is usually printed on the product box but if you are still unsure, simply measure the screen diagonally from top to bottom and you will find the size.
Type of mount
We ask that you decide on the desired mount for the TV before the technician arrives. Do you wish to have a fixed mount or would you rather have the flexibility to tilt or swivel the TV?
Location for installation
Where would you like the TV mounted? Indoors or outdoors? Above the fireplace or in the kitchen? Maybe you’re not sure. That’s okay, we can offer professional advice to help guide you.

How high should I mount my TV?
The ideal height for TV mounting depends mainly on four factors: the size of the TV, how far away you’ll be, your eye level height, and the viewing angle. As a rule, the center of a 42” TV should be mounted about 56 inches from the floor, a 55” TV around 61 inches, a 65” TV around 65 inches, and a 70” TV around 67 inches. But the exact mounting height will vary depending on your eye level, which will vary depending on the height of your seats, couch, or bed.

Most people casually sit between 10 to 15 degrees reclined.
What kind of TV mount should I use?
Full-motion (aka articulating) mounts offer the most versatility. They can extend from the wall, swivel side to side, tilt up and down, and even rotate. However, if you want your TV to be flush with the wall, then you should choose a low-profile (aka flat or fixed) or tilting mount.

Can I mount a TV myself?
Many amateurs try to tackle TV installation and mounting by themselves because they underestimate the potential dangers that come with taking on the job without the necessary training and experience. That’s why today we are touching on seven of the dangers of DIY TV installation and mounting.
7 DANGERS OF DIY TV INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING
- A FAILURE TO ACHOR YOUR TV PROPERLY
The one thing that usually springs to mind when we’re talking about TV installation and mounting gone wrong, is having the TV fall off the wall. One of the reasons that this happens is because you have not anchored your television to the wall or that you have improperly anchored the TV to the wall. You should ALWAYS anchor your TV when wall mounting and when you do anchor your television to the wall, you have to be sure to use anchors that are rated for the weight of your television and designed for use with your mounting surface. - DROPPING YOUR TV
It’s true that televisions are getting lighter these days, but the weight of your TV isn’t the only thing to consider when it comes to being able to properly hold, lift, and install it. The shape and size of your television also play a role in being able to manage your television and this only becomes more challenging when you have to lift and mount that TV to your wall! Even with friends on hand to help you, dropping your TV is a real risk. - ABOUT THAT POWER CORD…
When you tackle your own TV installation and mounting, it’s not uncommon to underestimate the length of your TV’s power cord. This is dangerous for a few reasons. Firstly, utilizing an extension cord is simply not something you should consider if you have other alternatives. Extension cords can be fire hazards and tripping hazards. Secondly, if you stretch your TV power cord to reach a power source because you underestimated the distance between the plug and your television, that stretching can compromise the integrity of the cord and pose a fire hazard or in the very least, cause your TV to malfunction. - ELECTROCUTION
Yes, we know, it sounds dramatic, but electrocution is a real risk when you try TV installation and mounting without experience with electric. Firstly, if you have no idea what you are doing, there’s a chance that you could hit wiring when installing your TV mount. Although this isn’t as likely as improperly wiring your television or improperly running wiring when trying to hide it behind the wall. Our advice is that you never interfere with the electrical system in your home unless you have training as an electrician. - USING THE WRONG CABLES
Did you know that when you install your television wiring behind the wall of your home, that you have to use cables that are rated for in-wall use? When you utilize any cables for in-wall installation they have to be rated for in-wall use to ensure that they do not pose any hazards to human health and safety. - PROBLEMS WITH MOUNTING
When you take on TV installation and mounting yourself, it isn’t uncommon to step back when you’ve finished and to realize that you have mounted your television at the wrong level. The instinct for most people is to tug on that mount or push it upward in hopes that you can fix the issue without having to completely reinstall. Don’t. Tugging, pulling, or pushing your wall-mounted television can compromise the integrity of the solid anchor system you have put in place and that can end up with your TV falling off the wall! - CRIPPLING INJURY
It’s one of the last things that most people think about when considering the dangers of DIY television installation and mounting, but injury is a real risk that can wind up impacting the rest of your life. Whether you injure your back from lifting, twisting, straining, or reaching, or whether you hurt your neck while taking care of construction aspects of the install, you run the risk of an injury that will permanently affect the rest of your life. You may think that this is only a consideration for less physically fit people, but injury can happen to anyone.

What are the advantages of mounting my tv?
There are many reasons why TV wall mounts are becoming more popular for many individuals. Many TVs are now thin and lightweight enough to be easily mounted and come with holes for TV mounting, but installation can require additional effort. Below are a handful of the pros of TV wall mounts.
- Space Saving and Protected from Children and Pets:
One of the most significant benefits of a wall-mounted TV is that because the TV is mounted to the wall, there is no need for a bulky TV stand to take up floor space and the TV is safely out of reach of children and pets. Not only does mounting your TV on the wall with a bracket help protect the screen, but it also makes the room feel more spacious and opens up design possibilities. - Sleek and Modern Finish:
If you are looking for your space to feel sleek and modern, a TV wall mount is the right choice for you. Not only is it an ideal option for smaller spaces, but it is also a stylistic choice that is both practical and aesthetically appealing. - Easily Customizable to Create the Ideal Viewing Experience:
Unlike a TV stand, a TV wall mount allows you to customize where your TV is so that it is perfect for your viewing experience and the orientation of the room and furniture. You can choose a specific height for your TV wall mount and allow for additional tilting or positioning for the best viewing experience. If you’re wondering how to choose a TV wall mount, the features of the wall mount and its customizability will be key to consider.
