Mounting your TV on the wall is excellent, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. Don’t worry! Most problems can be fixed quickly and easily. In this guide, we’ll discuss the most common issues with TV wall mounts and how you can fix them yourself. We’ll also mention how Evig, Audio Visual Equipment Supplier, Dubai, can help make things easier.
TV is Not Level
Problem
Your TV looks crooked after you’ve mounted it. This can be really annoying!
Quick Fix
Loosen the screws on the TV Wall Mount just a little. Then, adjust the TV so it’s straight. Use a level tool to help. Once it looks even, tighten the screws again. It should solve the problem!
Tip
Ask a friend to hold the TV while you adjust it to make things easier.
TV is Too High or Too Low
Problem
After mounting the TV, you find it’s too high or too low on the wall, making it uncomfortable to watch.
Quick Fix
You may have to remount the TV if it isn’t at the right height. Ideally, the middle of the TV should be at your eye level when sitting down. This will make watching TV much more comfortable.
Tip
Before drilling any holes, measure where you want the TV to go to avoid having to redo it.
TV Feels Loose
Problem
Your TV wobbles or feels like it’s not securely attached to the wall.
Quick Fix
Check the screws and bolts on both the mount and the TV. Tighten them with a screwdriver or wrench until the TV feels steady. If the mount itself is loose on the wall, make sure it’s screwed into solid parts like wall studs or concrete.
Tip
Using a stud finder, you can locate the strongest area of the wall to attach the mount.
Cables Hanging Everywhere
Problem
The TV is mounted, but now the cables hang down and look messy.
Quick Fix
You can use cable ties to bundle the cables or clips to keep them in place. Some TV wall mounts from Smart Media Solutions come with ways to hide cables behind the TV, making everything look tidy.
Tip
You can also buy a simple cover that hides cables and sticks to the wall, keeping everything neat and clean.
TV Won’t Tilt or Swivel
Problem
Your TV won’t tilt or swivel the way you want it to.
Quick Fix
First, check if your TV wall mount is made for tilting or swiveling. If it is, loosen the knobs or screws a little bit to allow the TV to move. Just be careful not to loosen them too much, or the TV might not stay in place.
Tip
If you want to adjust the TV regularly, mounts like the Slim Swing from Smart Media Solutions make it easy.
TV Doesn’t Fit the Wall Mount
Problem
You bought a wall mount, but your TV doesn’t fit properly.
Quick Fix
Check the VESA pattern (the holes on the back of your TV). It tells you how far apart the screw holes are. Most mounts will say what size they fit, so make sure the mount and your TV match. If they aren’t, you’ll need to get a different mount.
Tip
Evig, Audio Visual Equipment Supplier, Dubai, offers a range of mounts that fit various TV sizes, so you can find one that works for your TV.
Mounting on a Weak Wall
Problem
You’ve mounted the TV on a weak wall, which feels unsafe.
Quick Fix
The TV might not stay up if the wall you’ve used isn’t strong enough, like drywall. It’s best to mount the TV on studs (the wooden beams inside the wall) or a concrete wall. If you’re unsure, get some heavy-duty anchors designed for mounting on weaker walls.
Tip
If you don’t feel comfortable doing this yourself, ask a professional for help. Evig can offer advice and even help you get the job done safely.
