Quick Answer: Use a high‑quality, pre‑assembled tilting wall‑mount kit, a stud‑finder, and a friend to hold the screen—no fancy tools required. 90 % of the difficulty comes from poor planning, not brute force.
Step‑by‑Step Walk‑Through
- Pick the right bracket
• Universal VESA‑compliant kit rated for your TV’s weight
• Tilting models hide glare without bulk - Find solid support
• Use a stud finder—avoid drywall anchors for anything over 40 lbs - Mark, level, drill
• Blue painter’s tape makes hole‑layout painless - Hang the bracket first, TV second
• Tighten lag bolts, then hook the TV—ask a helper to steady it - Hide cables before final lock‑down
• Feed HDMI & power through an in‑wall rated channel or surface raceway
Daytona Tip
Local codes in Volusia County require in‑wall power kits (not lamp cord) when you run a new outlet—book a pro if you need one.
