Why this site exists

Honest mounting advice, with nothing to sell.

Most TV-mounting guidance is buried inside product pages or booking forms, and the advice bends toward whatever is in the cart. We wanted a calm, neutral place to simply understand the job — what the choices are, why they matter, and where the real risks hide.

Everything here is written for someone doing this for the first time, in plain language, and it is completely free. When you're ready to buy a mount or hire an installer, that's your call — we don't sell anything ourselves.

Our approach

Planning first, drilling last.

Measure twice

VESA pattern, screen weight and viewing height — the numbers that decide everything come first, before any hole.

Read the wall

Studs, masonry or plasterboard each need different fixings. We help you tell them apart and choose correctly.

Know your limits

We're honest about when a job is better left to a qualified professional — no pressure to go it alone.

Walls & fixings

What's behind the surface decides which fixings are safe. Get this wrong and the TV comes down.

Common questions

Answers before you begin.

Can I mount a TV on any wall?

No. Solid masonry and properly located wall studs are dependable; plasterboard alone, decorative panelling and some hollow walls are not — especially for heavier screens. Our wall guide explains how to tell them apart.

How high should the TV be?

Lower than most people expect. For a living room watched while seated, aim for the centre of the screen near seated eye level. The height guide shows how to measure it.

Does this website sell mounts or install TVs?

No. Mounting Vision is an independent, informational site. We don't sell hardware, take bookings or earn commission on anything. See our disclaimer for how to use the guidance safely.
