Gather Your Supplies
Before starting, you’ll need to gather your supplies. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:
Tools:
- Stud finder
- Drill
- Level
- Screwdriver
- Tape measure
Materials:
- TV wall mount
- Screws and bolts

Locate the Studs
The first step is to locate the studs in your wall. A stud finder will help you locate the studs behind the drywall. Once you’ve found the studs, mark their location with a pencil.
Choose Your Mounting Location
Next, choose the location where you want to mount your TV. Make sure it’s at a comfortable viewing height and that there is enough space for the TV. Use a level to make sure your mount is straight.
Attach the Mount to the Wall
Once you’ve chosen your location and marked the studs, it’s time to attach the mount to the wall. Drill pilot holes into the studs where you marked them, and then attach the mount with screws and bolts.
Attach the Mounting Bracket to the TV
Now it’s time to attach the mounting bracket to the back of your TV. Make sure you use the right size screws and bolts for your TV. Most TV mounts come with a variety of screw sizes to accommodate different TV models.
Hang the TV on the Wall
With the mounting bracket attached to the TV, all that’s left is to hang the TV on the wall mount. Make sure you have someone to help you lift the TV onto the mount. Once it’s in place, secure it with any additional screws or bolts provided with the mount.
Test the TV
After your TV is mounted, it’s important to test it to make sure it’s secure. Gently push the TV in different directions to make sure it’s not wobbly or loose. If it is, make sure all screws and bolts are tightened properly.
Now that you know how to mount your TV on the wall, you can enjoy your favorite shows without taking up valuable space in your apartment.
