Installing LCD TV wall mounts may appear as simple as mounting a photo frame or a piece of art on your wall but it's not really that easy. However with a little caution and planning, you can do it yourself. Follow these simple guidelines for successful installation of an LCD TV wall mount.
Select The Wall - The first step is to select the wall on which the TV is to be mounted. You can choose the wall in your living room where it will be seen the most or it can be a wall in your bedroom for that lazy, leisurely TV watching. Having decided on the wall, handle the tricky issue of selecting which section of the wall. The typical construction of walls is either wooden beams known as studs or metal frames, which provide strength and support. While installing LCD TV wall mounts, it is advised not to rely on drywall alone and instead install on studs for greater support. You can use a stud finder to locate a stud in your wall where your mount can be hung. Always ensure that the mounting hardware penetrates deep inside the stud. If your wall is made of bricks or concrete, your job is easier. Solid walls of concrete or blocks are strong enough to hold the weight of TV and you can confidently install your mount without worrying about finding a stud. For walls with metal frames instead of studs, use toggle bolts that are easily available in most hardware stores.

Decide The Height - The next step in installing your wall mount is to decide the height at which you want your TV to be mounted. You can choose the height that makes the best viewing angle by eying it up. As a general rule, TV viewing is best with an angle of 180 degrees between your eyes and the TV. This means if you draw an imaginary line from the center of the TV screen, it should be horizontal to eye level. For the LCD TV wall mounts that give freedom of maneuverability to TV, you can even decide on a higher level. Tilting of the TV screen in this case compensates for the difference between the TV and your eyes.
Drill The Hole - The final step before drilling the wall is to identify the drilling spots on wall by making pencil markings. Measure the height from the floor and mark the wall. Repeat this for subsequent marks, always keeping the distance from the floor, the same. Ensure that your measuring tape is vertical and not slanted. It's wise to measure twice than to drill twice. So check and recheck until you are sure.
Last but not the least, carefully read the instructions provided with the TV wall mount and follow them while using above-mentioned tips as a general guideline. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the show!

Cyber Monday 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 Cyber Monday offers below!
