1. Your Wall Type Matters More Than You Think
The type of wall in your home directly affects how securely a wall mount can hold a large TV.
1) Concrete Walls: Strongest and Most Secure
✓ High load-bearing capacity
✓ Can support heavy-duty anchors and bolts
✓ Suitable for fixed, tilting, and swivel wall mounts
For large TVs (75 inches and above), concrete walls offer the best long-term stability, especially when paired with professional installation.
2) Drywall or Partition Walls: Limited Load Capacity
Drywall or partition walls are much lighter and are typically used to divide spaces rather than support heavy loads.
For these walls, fixed or tilting mounts are usually safer than swivel mounts, which place additional stress on the wall.
2. Choose the Right Wall Mount for Your TV Size
Choosing the right wall mount is just as important as choosing the right TV.
For large TVs, the two most commonly considered options are fixed wall mounts and swivel wall mounts.
1) Fixed Wall Mount: Clean, Slim, and Stable
A fixed wall mount holds the TV firmly in one position, sitting close to the wall without any movement.

Key advantages:
✓ Sits very close to the wall for a clean finish
✓ Minimal stress on the wall and mounting points
✓ Generally more stable for very large TVs
✓ Often easier and faster to install
2) Swivel Wall Mount: Flexible Viewing from Multiple Angles
A swivel wall mount allows the TV to extend, tilt, and rotate left or right.

Key advantages:
✓ Flexible viewing angles for different seating positions
✓ Easier access to ports and cables
✓ Adjustable positioning improves everyday usability
3. Mounting Height Affects Comfort and Eye Health
Sit on your sofa in your usual viewing position and measure the height from the floor to your eyes.
Here is a practical reference table:
| TV Size | Recommended Centre Height (from floor) |
|---|---|
|
65 inch |
~105–110 cm |
|
75 inch |
~100–105 cm |
|
85 inch |
~95–100 cm |
|
100 inch |
~90–95 cm |
A common mistake is aligning the TV to:
❗Feature wall centre lines, ❗Decorative panels, ❗Built-in cabinets
But you should know eye comfort should always come before design.
4. Cable Management Should Be Planned Early
A clean TV setup starts before the TV goes on the wall. Plan your cables early to avoid visible wires and costly rework.
Planning cable routes early ensures:
● Enough HDMI ports are reachable
● Extra cables can be added later
● The setup remains flexible for future upgrades

5. Professional Installation Protects Your TV Warranty
Large TVs are precision-engineered products, and how they are installed can directly affect warranty coverage and long-term reliability. This is why many TV brands offer — or strongly recommend — professional wall-mount installation for large and premium models.
Improper installation may cause:
❗ Micro-cracks within the panel
❗ Internal stress that worsens over time
❗ Damage that appears weeks or months after installation
In such cases, the damage may be classified as installation-related or external damage, which is typically not covered under standard warranty terms.

FAQs:
1. How do I choose between a fixed or swivel wall mount for a large TV?
Choosing the right wall mount depends on your room layout and viewing needs:
- Fixed wall mount – Best if you sit directly in front of the TV and want a clean, flush look. Ideal for dedicated living room setups.
- Swivel wall mount – Recommended for open-concept spaces or when you watch TV from different seating angles, such as living and dining areas.
2. Does a larger TV require a different wall mount than a smaller TV?
Yes. Large TVs require:
- Thicker steel brackets
- Wider wall plates for load distribution
- Stronger arm mechanisms (for swivel mounts)
Using a mount designed for smaller TVs increases the risk of sagging or failure over time.
3. Will a swivel wall mount affect picture quality?
No. Wall mounts do not affect picture quality.
However, large TVs are best enjoyed when seated near the centre viewing position for optimal visual performance.
