Once you decide where to mount the LCD TV, you might consider concealing the audio and video cables and power cord to make things look neat and orderly. Some wall mounts have peripheral cable boxes that can be placed below them. Most people prefer running the wires along the wall. There are wire covers with strong adhesive that can stick the wires to the wall. You can color the wire covers with a color similar to the wall to make the covers blend with the wall. If the wall bracket provided in the package is specific to the TV model, you might have to replace the TV bracket with another one designed for the new TV. Try using the universal mount so you don't have to concern yourself with changing TV wall brackets every time you change TVs.
When assembling the TV bracket, attach a horizontal support to a wall angle module using two bolts, four lock washers, and two nuts. A lock washer should be next to each bolt head and each nut, to ensure the bolts are secured and will not loosen. Tighten the nuts using the Allen wrench on the hole in the head of the bolt and the open-end wrench on the nut. Do this process for all corners, and make sure both wall angle modules are oriented the same direction, with the slot in the mounting hole to the bottom. Be sure there is nothing breakable or risky below the area where you will place the TV wall bracket. No matter how careful you are, accidents can happen and the TV might fall off the wall brackets and damage anything below it.
Flat Tv Bracket
When constructing a house, the architect sets the studs a standard distance apart from each other. Once you locate a stud, it may be easy finding the location of the other studs. Use a stud finder to facilitate the work. Use a level to ensure the TV bracket is level and straight. There are different TV wall brackets and you should find one that fits the distances of your studs. Securing the TV bracket to the studs ensures it is firm and will not give way to the weight of the TV. Mark the location of the eight holes you will be using for the lag bolts. Use the electric drill to drill small holes in the marked positions. The drilled holes should be smaller than the size of the bolts. All eight holes should be firmly embedded in the center of the studs. Position the TV wall bracket over the holes, with its flat side against the wall, and attach the TV brackets to the wall.
Attaching the LCD TV bracket to a concrete or brick wall is a similar process. You will use cement anchors instead of lag bolts when attaching the TV wall brackets to the cement wall. Avoid using holes that are closer than two inches from a mortar joint. If the holes are close to a joint, the anchors may become loose. Insert the anchors in the holes and set them with a concrete anchor tool and hammer. Be sure everything is firmly screwed in and securely in place. Test your installation by pulling on the brackets carefully and check if the connections feel loose.
Get some people to help hold the LCD TV in place while you attach it to the TV wall mount. A flat panel screen can be very heavy depending on its size. The TV wall mount may have inclination holes and bolts to adjust the angle of the TV. Be sure the holes and bolts on both sides of the TV mount are matched on the same angle; otherwise the TV will be uneven. Once the angle is fixed, tighten all the bolts and screws that should be fixed and immovable. Make sure all bolts and screws are tight every step of the way.

Cheetah Mounts AS3S 3 Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD, LED and Plasma TV with Cable Management System Overview
The AS3S is a tri-shelf cable management system. It can be used with or without a Plasma/LCD mount. This unit is designed to fit under your display and provide an on wall solution for other components such as cable boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and stereo components. There are three 2.25-Inch holes on the aluminum plate that allow you to cleanly run your cables up to your TV or down to another component, as well as out the bottom to an outlet. After reviewing our competition we realized that most shelving units need to be mounted directly into a wall stud. In most cases the wall stud is placed to the right or to the left of the display, which is not where most people prefer to have their shelves mounted. This is still the most secure option however, after significant research we’ve found that using the correct toggle bolts can allow you to mount your shelving unit wherever you see fit. With the combination of four of these toggle bolts the shelving unit is able to hold well over 70LBS safely. Each individual toggle bolt provides 75LBS of support. Please note that a good toggle bolt is still only as good as the quality of the drywall it is mounted into. If you have water damage or .25-Inch drywall please add a support for your shelving unit.SAVE NOW on the special offers below!
