Wall mounting a 47” commercial TV (in 60 seconds).Thomas & Annika get previously enjoyed LGs .

Thomas & Annika received TVs this week for their rooms. Previously enjoyed commercial 47” LGs from an Ottawa Bank. I am super impressed with the picture quality. This video shows the installation of Thomas’ TV mount. A shout out to my buddy Lyle for the TVs. Because it is a commercial tv, it only worked with a massive 800x400 VESA mount.

1. Mount side arms on TV.
2. Figure out how far to screw in wall plate from ceiling. I measured from top of plate to 6 inches above TV. 10 inches in my case. Higher up than normal but I wanted space below it.
3. Found two wall studs (24 inches apart in my case). Marked the hole placement 10 inches from ceiling.
4. Screwed in top place offsetting it slightly to get it level.
5. Screwed in bottom 2 screws, also in studs
6. If I didn’t have access to studs I would have put at least 6 drywall anchors instead.
7. Mounted the tv on the bracket.
8. Cleaned up cables.

Notes:
1. This “BigAssMount” was $45 from CanadaComputers. Similar units are on Amazon for $40-50. This was a 800x400 VESA due to the holes. It is unusual. Your tv will vary. Most TVs of this size or smaller can get buy with a smaller $18 mount.
2. The commercial tv has every input possible but only one HDMI, so I added a HDMI switch) $10 from CanadaComputers. One input being the firestick 4K, the other input being my son’s Nintendo Switch. Now he can switch back and forth.
3. The Firestick 4K requires a high power USB plug or else you may experience no volume.
4. The cable cover is $14 (Home Depot)
5. The two way tape is $9 (HomeDepot).
