Why we made this
Real guidance, with nothing in the cart.
Search for how to mount a TV and most of what you find is really a shop. The tips quietly nudge you toward a specific bracket, a cable bundle, or a booking button — and the facts you actually came for get lost in the upsell.
This is the opposite of that. It's a quiet, neutral place to simply understand the job: what your options are, why each one matters, and where the genuine risks sit. Everything is written for a first-timer and costs nothing. If and when you decide to buy a mount or call in a fitter, that's entirely your decision — we don't sell a thing.
What a tidy job looks like
Level, flush, and free of trailing wires.
Mounted well, a television simply blends into the room. These are the kinds of results that careful preparation makes possible.
Big screen, strong wall
At eye level after dark
An arm angled to the room
Getting the rail dead level
Wires kept out of view
A bracket that fits the VESA
The way we approach it
Plan it all, then drill once.
Nail the numbers
The VESA pattern, the screen's weight, the height you'll watch from — the figures that decide everything come before a single hole is made.
Understand the wall
Timber studs, masonry and plasterboard each call for their own fixings. We help you tell which is which — and choose the right one.
Know where to stop
We'll say plainly when a job is better handed to a qualified pro. No bravado, no pressure to tackle something risky alone.
Pick a place to begin
Three decisions that make or break it.
Each one opens into the full guide, where every step is spelled out.
Walls & fixings
What sits behind the surface decides which fixings will hold. Misjudge it and the screen ends up on the floor.

Height & cables
Find a height that feels natural from the sofa, then run the cables so the result looks like a pro did it.

Cleared up before you start.
Will any wall take a TV?
Not at all. Solid masonry and correctly located studs are reliable; bare plasterboard, decorative panelling and many hollow walls are not — least of all with a heavy screen. Our wall guide shows how to tell them apart.
What height should the TV go at?
Usually lower than people assume. In a living room you watch from the sofa, so aim to put the middle of the screen close to your seated eye line. The height guide walks through measuring it.
Do you sell mounts or fit TVs?
Neither. Mounting Vision is an independent, information-only site. There's no hardware for sale, no bookings, and no commission earned on anything. Our disclaimer explains how to use the guidance safely.
