Thank you for replying to people’s comments. Nice to see a YouTuber who genuinely cares. Great content as always.

Great video 👍 Ironically wall mounted TV's were mentioned on the news yesterday as there is an increasing problem with people suffering neck and back problems which they say is being caused by us all having our TV's mounted too high up on the wall and suggested they are mounted roughly at eye level when sitting down, I mean I haven't seen a TV on a Stand since 2003 😅.

Great advice, clearly explained. Many thanks.

What difference does it make if it's dot and dab or hollow stud wall if you're not mounting onto the dab or stud? Genuine question. Thanks.

Another great video, comprehensive and clearly explained. Everyone from the novice to the seasoned diyer will get something out of this video.

Excellent tutorial. Nobody wants a telly flying off the wall during the world cup final. Still don't understand why some people have it set so high up (except maybe in bedrooms and kitchens).

The centre of the screen should be horizontal with your eye-line. Unless you watch TV standing up, it doesn't make sense to have it closer to the ceiling than the floor.

If it's too high up and you're sitting down and the ceiling lights are on, you're likely to get a lot of glare off the screen, especially if the ceiling lights are spots or down-lights.

I think it became fashionable to put the TV up really high, because that's how pubs did it. It's not an ideal situation for domestic installations though.

Great video. Just a tip to make sure you plug all your cables in before putting the tv on the wall 😅👍

Great video. Only thing I would say is for plastic plugs you should not really use those kinds of gold self cutting screws as they are very prone to strip the inside of the plug. Use less aggressive silver screws.

Dude you are an absolute legend! Thanks to you I have saved more than 10k in hiring people!

The screw should be slightly longer than the plug being used (in the case of the EVO 50mm plug the screw should be 55mm / 60 mm long) to protrude beyond the end of the plug - and the hole should be deeper. The idea is that the plug is then drawn towards the object you are hanging thus creating a tighter fixing.

Great video and assortment of new fixings on order. Thanks 👍

[ianbower]

Thanks for the video. Excellent.
One of the things people do incorrectly when putting a TV on a wall is to mount it too high.
For the best picture quality your eyes should be close to the same height as the centre of the screen as possible.
If you have to mount it high, it’s important to use a bracket where the TV can be tilted down

Had an electrician round today to install cat 6a into loft. He drilled through our wall for our 9 year old house and said god they’re soft air block. He said normal fixings wouldn’t work and that I needed a ‘compound fixing’?? I’ve looked on screwfix etc. can’t find anything like and I’ve googled and YouTubed lol. They’re dot and dab but the block seems really brittle. He cut out a socket and handed me a piece that I snapped like a digestive. 😮

8:50 Dunno if it's been said in the comments here already, but that setting tool isn't needed at all. Nice to have, but a bit of a solution looking for a problem if you ask me.

These clever little expanding plasterboard wall anchors work by you tightening the screw and keep tightening too.
The 'extra' turns of the screwdriver are for expanding the fitting inside the wall so that it tightly grips the back of the plasterboard.

I’m normally pretty good at picking people’s accents but you’ve done me!!!!
Where does it come from?

[emfestudios]

Great video. Is there a maximum weight you can hang on the plasterboard?

[Ho]

Love watching your videos, I’m building a 6 metre x 5 metre pool room soon 👍
