Mounting a TV on Your Wall - Tech Tips from Best Buy

Ready to mount your TV? Geek Squad Agents from Best Buy will show you how.

We are using a tilting mount on a wall with drywall and wood studs. If your wall or studs are made from something else, if you are using another kind of mount, or if you have an outlet behind your TV the steps may be different.

Here's what you’ll need: Level, stud finder, measuring tape, painter’s tape, Philips head screwdriver, drill and bits, Allen wrench, socket wrench, and something to take notes.

Skip ahead to these steps:
Attach the mount to the TV: [0:46]
Determine and mark how high to hang the TV: [1:21]
Attach the mount to the wall: [2:29]
Hang the TV on the mount: [2:52]
Adjust to straighten: [3:12]

Thanks guys. I’m trying to install my 85 inch TV into a recessed wall and didn’t know how to put the TV mount in the right location. But you told me something no one else did. Measure to the hooks. Great advice. Thank you very much.

Back in the day when I was a Double Agent, the DFM at the time was annoyed that I used painters tape for all these exact reasons that you too are using it. Lil note for those DIY’ers out there, if you don’t have a stud finder you can sub in a magnet as it will “stick” to the screws/nails holding the drywall up. Just be sure to double check before drilling 😉👍

Thanks best buy. Just completed my installation.

Do you measure to the top of the hook center of the hook or what should have made it clear

I'd like to hire BB to do my wall mount installation when I buy my TV. Are they able to run the wires, inside my wall and connect to the cable outlet and wall outlet at the bottom part of the wall? I also have a small Cox box (5" x 4" x 1"). Where does that get installed?

Funny question. What is the background tune in this commercial? I love that tune. Where did you find it?

Nice video it is pretty easy to mount a tv especially if you know some about tools and can follow instructions.

Can you do a video showing the LG G2 gallery series specifically? LGs own video is terrible. This was way more helpful, but it is a specialty bracket.

I have a 55 inch tv and I just bought a 75in. My question is can I use the same placement for the 75 inch tv.

Instructions unclear as well. Mounted the tv to my cat.

Get behind the TV make sure the TV is comfortable adjust yourself make sure you have protection then drive home

[jamessanders]

VERY helpful. Most will still make a mess of things, even with this video.

It looks like I’m starting to see the stud protruding where the tv is hung! 🤔👀🥺 what should I do? I’m worried!!

[fnaticmedia]

Great helpful video 👍🏼 Could you please suggest how to mount it on the drywall fireplace . Thanks

[MrFallred]

Does it matter how far apart the wall studs are?

[sophiaforever]

We had our tv installed for us but we can't get behind it to add devices and cords like a roku (there's less than an inch of clearance between the wall and tv). How can I get the tv off the wall to instal devices and is it possible to adjust the mount to leave more clearance between the tv and wall?

Does Best Buy include mounts as part of their 150 dollar fee for tv setup and mounting?

Can I use same stud to drill 2 bolts 2 inches apart downwards to mount a tv ?
