    Very nice idea. A more accurate way to measure the holes on the back of the tv is to use one strip of painters tape across the back of the tv across all the holes. Mark the holes or punch a small hole through the tape, then transfer the tape to the piece of wood you are going to use and hey presto, spot on accuracy.

      @@chrisnotap thanks Chris. I like the French cleat idea. I’ve seen some Metal commercially available mounts that are also based on the French cleat.
      What about using keyhole picture frame brackets. Think that would work too?

    I used a 2x4 , and 2 bolts to hang my 60 inch. Cost was less than 5 bucks . Bolted into studs it is flawless. No need for a overpriced wall mount . I did the french cleat method.

    You are a freaking genius. Here I've been making everything waaay more difficult and complicated for myself and getting very frustrated about it.

    Really great - followed your instructions and did this yesterday - mounted a 46 inch TV to my basement wall (concrete wall using concrete anchors). Worked like a charm and cost me 90 cents for 2 bolts. Thanks much!

    This is a great idea. I didn't read all the comments. If you use good wood, you will not see a problem. For those who think its unsafe, I see a way to make it safe and still be just fine. Put another board on top of the board mounted to the TV. Slide the TV in sideways, and then put a board on each side to keep it from sliding out. Sorry if this has been mentioned. Hope the comment makes since. Thanks for the advice. I would trust this over many of the cheap metal options.

    Thanks for the video. I was just wondering the other day if a French Cleat would work for this…
    One thing I might change when I put mine up is instead of just tucking a standoff behind the screen, I'll screw a couple of blocks to the lower VESA holes.

  • @thuggins2086
    @thuggins2086 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Instead of the spare block behind the bottom of the TV when on the wall, I'd actually recommend making a second French cleat for the bottom 2 VESA screw mounts. Extra holding security and it should provide the same function as the spare block. Loved the video though! I will be doing this to mount my next TV.

    Brilliant and worked great for me, as well as saved me $50. A few other suggestions. For the shim piece, use one of the bottom bracket mounting holes to attach it to, as mine fell out when I just stuck it behind the TV, unattached. For the bottom piece, I made it a lot longer than the top piece so I could hit (3) studs. Plus, it gave me some leeway to move the TV sideways if needed and still have the top piece fully connected to the bottom. And lastly, I'd definitely find scrap hardwood like solid Oak. Probably wouldn't use pine.
