To hang a TV on the wall, you don’t have to buy an expensive bracket; you can make it yourself in literally five minutes from fasteners that can definitely be found in a hardware store. Worth every penny, but will last forever. Therefore, this is the best way to save your money.

Will need

  • Two metal plates
  • 4 screws.
  • 2 dowels (or anchor bolts).

How to quickly hang a TV on the wall. The simplest homemade bracket

We turn the TV we want to hang onto the reverse side. At the back there are 4 mounting slots for a bracket. We take a sheet of paper and use a pen or pencil to make punctures, thereby transferring the center-to-center distances between the stationary TV mounts onto it.

Now we place this sheet on one metal layer and use a marker to mark marks for further drilling.

To prevent the crease from jumping around when drilling, we use the core according to the marks. Next, we put the plates together, clamp them in a vice and drill both at a time.

You need to drill 3 holes: 2 housing mounts, shifted as far as possible downwards and 1 for wall mounting, shifted as much as possible upwards (if they are not in the standard plate).

Next, we attach it to the TV using screws.

Pay special attention to the length of the screws. If they are too long, buy others or cut the existing ones with a hacksaw. This is necessary so that when screwing them in they do not push through the electronics inside.

We remove the legs from the TV.

We drill holes in the wall for dowels or anchor bolts. We hang the TV on the wall and secure the anchor bolts with a wrench.

The TV weighs just right and will definitely never fall.

That's all! 5 minutes and you're done.

    I somehow also hung a 32" TV, although I used a 20x4 strip as hangers, at the same time bending it to ensure the screen was positioned at an angle. And to the wall - ordinary dowels with screws, in the floor hole so that the screw head would go through and cut a little in the top parts, like in hinges for hanging cabinets, etc.
    This “removable” mounting method turned out to be successful - to connect peripherals, the TV has to be removed...
    By the way, I noticed that in new TVs, along with the reduction in the weight of the devices, they are starting to save on mounts - out of the standard 4, two simply cling to the plastic of the case!

      I thought my Kivi had such a mount, two normal mounts to the metal body and the other two are like pacifiers

    Buying a TV for $500, for example, and putting together a collective farm device for it that, God forbid, falls off in half an hour, can easily lead to the purchase of a new TV. Author I'm shocked 😲

      I don’t know about you, but in our stores the simplest mount costs 1/10th of the TV, and such, the TV could change the tilt and rotate, as if not half the price of the TV!
      Moreover, if earlier TVs were large, for example, the three of us put 29" on the mezzanine, now 32" weighs barely 3-4 kg, such a mount can easily support an 80-liter boiler in the bathroom...

    The cost of a TV with a 40" screen starts from 20,000 rubles. The price of a TV bracket starts from 900 rubles. At the same time, the bracket allows you to change the tilt of the TV, rotate it. So is it worth building a collective farm in this situation? Or do you buy a TV for the last time, and then keep it for a year are you eating?

    "nests!" in the TV case there is a vesa system. 100, 200, 300mm.
    I URGENTLY needed to hang a 32" TV on the wall. I took a piece of steel knitting wire, two M6 bolts, 2 self-tapping screws and two dowels for the wall. A piece of wooden block 50x50 about 300 mm. I fixed the block on the wall. I did not drive two self-tapping screws completely into the upper edge. Using bolts, I secured the wire in the vesa, one end in the upper right hole - the other in the left. I lifted the TV and threw the wire over the protruding screws.
    the bar and the collective farm quest are not visible. The TV hung like that for 7 years. (I took it off when the wallpaper was being re-glued and to blow off dust).
    Now I bought 50" and I need to redo everything, because neither the height nor the location are the same.
