Want to mount your TV perfectly centered?

The good news? With the right approach and tools, you can nail that ideal positioning every single time! Here’s a simple trick to help you get it right effortlessly.

Mounting your TV perfectly centered on a wall can seem like a daunting task. Whether you’re setting up your home theater or just want a clean, symmetrical look, achieving the perfect placement is essential for both aesthetics and viewing comfort. 

Why Centering Your TV Matters

 

A well-positioned TV enhances your viewing experience, prevents neck strain, and adds a sleek, professional touch to your space. If your TV is off-center, it can be visually jarring and may disrupt the overall balance of your room. More importantly, incorrect placement can lead to uncomfortable viewing angles, making binge-watching your favorite shows less enjoyable.

The Simple Trick to Perfectly Center Your TV

Here’s the game-changing method to ensure your TV is perfectly centered every time:

Step 1: Identify the Ideal Viewing Height

The optimal height for a wall-mounted TV is generally at eye level when seated. The center of the screen should be around 42 to 48 inches from the floor, depending on your seating arrangement. Measure from the floor up to find this sweet spot.

Step 2: Mark the Wall

Find the midpoint of the wall where you want to mount the TV. Simply measure the total width of the wall and divide by two. Mark this midpoint with painter's tape or a pencil.

Step 3: Use a Paper Template

A foolproof way to visualize the placement is to use a paper template. Cut out a piece of paper or cardboard the same size as your TV and tape it onto the wall at the height you marked. This helps you see how the TV will look before drilling holes.

Step 4: Find the Studs

Using a stud finder, locate the wall studs near your marked midpoint. Mark these points clearly. If the studs don’t align exactly with your desired placement, use a mounting bracket that allows slight adjustments or consider Elephant Anchors for a secure hold on drywall.

Step 5: Align the Mounting Bracket

Hold your TV mount against the wall and align it with your midpoint mark and studs. Use a level to ensure it’s straight before marking the drill points.

Step 6: Secure the Mount and Attach the TV

Drill pilot holes, secure the mount using appropriate screws or Elephant Anchors, and double-check the level before attaching your TV. Once mounted, step back and admire your perfectly centered TV!

Bonus Tip: Use a Full-Motion Mount for Extra Flexibility

A full-motion TV mount from CondoMounts allows you to adjust your screen's position post-installation. This means even if your initial placement is slightly off, you can easily fine-tune it to perfection.

Final Thoughts

Mounting your TV perfectly centered is easier than you think when you use the right techniques. By following this simple trick, you can create a seamless, professional-looking setup that enhances your space and improves your viewing experience.
