When you are buying a Phillips wall bracket for your plasma or LCD Television, know that there are just a few things you need to bare in mind; first of all the size of the bracket has to correspond to the TV size. It can be slightly bigger, that's not really a problem, but it can't be smaller than it needs to. If you haven't yet chosen a TV to mount into your wall, a few great choices would be the Philips 42PF9631D, Philips 50PF9631D, Philips 42PFP5532D and the Philips 42PF5421 among many others. These are just a few of the options you have when you want a beautiful TV to mount onto your wall.



Once you have the wall mounts that fit your TV, get the studs in the wall where you want the TV to hang. The important thing to remember here is that the screws mounting the television to the wall shouldn't just be into the wallboard of the stud, but the solid wood part. Find the exact centre of the stud and mark it lightly on the wall with pencil. The distance between the screw holes need to be vertically measured. When you know how high you want the TV, use the pencil again to mark where each screw needs to be.

The Philips wall bracket is one of the most important items here as this will determine how long your TV stays in position for. Just make sure you have purchased the correct size as the size will be able to hold the weight of the TV, etc.

Then you need to use a level to make sure the mount is level. Measure three times if you have to, this is something that cannot be done easily after the TV is mounted so make sure you get it right the first time.

The mount then needs to be attached with the screws. Check again to see if this next step is 100% level. Stand back and take a look, picture your TV in that position, does it look straight? Then you need to cut or drill holes behind the TV for the wires to go through. Try and keep all the wiring hidden as it doesn't look very nice with wires everywhere. When the holes are done, feed the cables steadily through the wall.

Now you can test your Philips wall bracket by hanging the TV on the mount. Here you normally need to attach plastic or rubber mounts on the back of the television, putting them through the holes in the mount and then letting it settle itself into place.

Once the TV is securely on the wall and you are happy with its positioning and everything, just double check its stability. Make sure it is properly stable and secure on the wall and you think it will hold for a long time. If you are not entirely sure, you can call someone in just so they can check that you have done everything properly and you are good to go.
