Bedroom TV on a gray wall

A gray bedroom wall, a flat bracket into two studs, and the screen set for viewing from the bed rather than from standing, so it sits lower than a living-room TV would. The cable drops straight down behind the panel to the outlet, and the plant in the corner by the window stayed exactly where it was.

Drywall carries nothing on its own, so this bracket hangs on the framing behind it. The studs were found with a stud finder and confirmed with a magnet before the first hole, then the plate was bolted to two of them with lag bolts, levelled with a digital inclinometer and pull-tested before the TV went on.

Flat mounts give the cleanest profile and the lowest price, and they suit a screen that sits where you watch it from. Ours are levelled to a fraction of a degree and the panel is locked to the bracket before we let go of it.

TV mounting is a flat rate by screen size: $129 up to 54", $159 for 55-69", $209 for 70-79", $299 for 80-94" and $399 from 95" (2 technicians). The bracket is yours or ours from $49, and there is no travel fee.
