6. Locate display mounng hardware: Today, the vast majority of displays ship from the manufacturer
with screws already in the wall mounng holes. In this case, all you have to do is use the screws provided. If
your display does not already have screws in the mounng holes, somemes the same screws which are
used for the desk stand can be used for wall mounng. In this case, when you remove the desk stand from
your display simply use these s crews to aach the TV plate to the bac k of your d isplay. If th e screws
provided with your TV will work please proceed to Step 7. If not, please read below.
Display Hardware: If your display does
no t co me with a ny s crews , or the s crews in
your desk stand will not work, your hardware
b a g i n c l u d e s s c r e w s o f t h e t h r e e m o s t
co mm on si zes fo r 23-37" di sp lays - M4, M5
and M8. These are metric screws in 4,5 and
8mm diamet e rs. Mos t l i ke l y o n e o f t h e s e
screw sets will fit your TV. If not, you need to
get mounng screws from your local hardware
store. The best way to determine the screws
you nee d i s t o c he ck th e m anual fro m your
displ ay or to go th e we bsite o f your d isplay
manufacturer. If you cannot find the type of screw you need, you will need to carefully measure the width
and depth of the mounng holes on the back of your display. A toothpick is a simple but effecve way to
accurately measure the depth. You want to get a screw which is as long as the depth of the mounng hole
plus the thickness of the display plate and washer which add approximately 4mm. The screw also needs to
be the exact width of the mounng hole. It is hard to measure the width of the hole exactly because of the
threading so to prevent addional trips to the hardware store, we recommend when you buy screws to buy
the size you measured plus one size larger and one size smaller. Addionally, for most TVs the necessary
screw is Metric. You cannot tell by measuring the hole if the threading is metric or standard so when you
buy screws it is b est to buy both. Once you have your screws, match them to the a ppro pri ately sizes
washers.
7. Aaching your T V: Aaching your TV to the mount requires two people. One person needs to hold the
TV flush to the TV plate while the other person inserts the screws through the TV plate and into the back of
the display. Do not over ghten.
