What should I know before mounting my flatscreen TV?
Different mounts are made for different flatscreen TV sizes. Your mount must support the screen size/weight of your TV. For example, 10-to-24 LCD TVs require mounts that can support 40 lbs. of weight. Larger 37-to-60 LCD and plasma TVs typically require mounts that can support 200 lbs. of weight. Also, flatscreen televisions are mountable to different types of surfaces, including wall stud and masonry. Wall-stud mounting means attaching the mount to a wood stud in your wall. Smaller mounts for 10-to-24 TVs usually require just one wood stud. Larger mounts for 26-to-37 and 37-to-60 TVs require two wall studs. Masonry mounting (brick/concrete) requires specialized mounting anchors, as well as special tools and knowledge. Monster recommends hiring a professional installer when mounting to masonry.
