Very nice tutorial. The only thing that I'd add my two cents into would be the portion of drilling the holes. I've found it easier to find and mark the studs and the approximate location of where the mount will go. From there, predrill and then secure one corner of the mount. I then level the mount up and mark the other three holes. That way I have a perfectly level mount with no holes that are 1/8th or so off. You have yourself a new subscriber, BTW.

For those who are curious, if you are sitting 2m-2.3 meters away from the TV you have a tolerable error margin of approximately ≈20cm (before factoring in mount functionalities), in the placement of your mount. This is assuming the video-poster is correct regarding the 5degree rule in order to avoid feeling neck discomfort.

How did you check if there was romex, conduit or pipe running through the stud where you drilled? I am thinking about drilling 1/16 to 1/8th inch at a time and then will look inside the hole with a flashlight and see if there is a cavity where romex or pipe may be running through. Thoughts?

Here’s my dilemma, and maybe y’all can offer some input… 1.) Where things are right now- Currently, I have a 42” TV in my office/fun room, on a wall mount. Said wall mount is positioned 6.5 ft. above the floor (IF that’s of any importance). Moving on… In addition to a Dish Net Joey, there are also TWO video game 🎮 consoles hooked up to the TV. One evening, I was playing a game ON said TV, but suddenly, I had an epiphany (moving on here)… 2.) Changes warranted- In order to get the full benefit of “maximum gaming performance and enjoyment”, I need a larger TV …😊!!! I’m thinking, somewhere in the vicinity of 65-72”. Now, in order to do this, I’m thinking that a wall mount that can sustain something in the vicinity of 200 lbs. will give ME piece of mind. My concern I’ve been building up to is THIS: -I like where the wall mount is, but w/o getting into TOO much detail, bottom line, I have….concerns regarding gravity and stability!!! -I’ve done measurements to see if said TV w/ said measurements will fit in office/fun room, so no problem THERE❤️🤍💙. -The TV I want IS 💯% video game 🎮 compatible (If I wanna WATCH-but not PLAY-TV, I’ll go into the living room. So again, all good there. Again, I just have reluctance with trusting the stability of the NEW wall mount in the ORIGINAL spot. All input and advice GLADLY welcome 🙏… CHEERS 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
