would it be advisible to put my 37 in tv on the wall?

Question

it would be in my basement!

Answer 1

I put a 37-inch in our bedroom. It's great, and it's up high where we can see it laying down.

As others said, be sure there is no danger of water damage to the wall, or dripping on the TV.

Yes, the mount can be expensive. Find out how heavy your TV is (weigh yourself of the scale with and without the TV...). In my case, the foot - which unbolts from the back if you want to hang it - weighed about 20 pounds itself, so take it off first.

Get a hanging bracket that can hold the weight. they are not cheap. The best will bolt to 2 different studs; the one I used consist of several parallel bars and the hooks that bolt to the back of the TV. the parts that bolt to the wall also slide on these bars to line up with the wood studs. Mine also has a funny-shaped rod that you stick in and turn to lock the TV down so it's hard to steal.

Definitely, with TVs of around 50 pounds, you want to be sure it's well anchored into the wood studs behind the drywall. if you don't have a stud-finder, look at the drywall to see if you can find the nails covered with plaster. Use nice long screws -I used about 3-inches; it's gotta go through 1/2-inch drywall first, and its gotta hold a lot. And be sure the studs don't have condesation or water damage problems, or the screws won't hold well.

If you put up a heavy TV with just the drywall holding it, and it will rip up the drywall, then fall and destroy itself.

When you're ready to mount, have a friend help; be careful. You don't want to hurt the front screen, it's fragile!

Answer 2

Anon has you pretty well covered, I would like to add a little, There is a company (Petra) who offers various hanging hardwares and the cost should be appx 80 dollars, these come with lots of hardware (bolts) so be careful not to select bolts that are too long, this accident would fatally damage the screen. The concerns about moisture are justified so if you have masonry walls be sure they are dry and solid, you wouldn't want to create a moisture inlet. A 37" is not too big so the weight issue should be easily addressed.

The one thing I would strongly discourage is hanging it over a fireplace unless it can be protected from the rising heat, Most warranties will be voided in this case.

Have Fun.

Answer 3

there's no magic thank you to mount a television on the wall without making holes. here approach makes use of basically 4 screws which will cut back the wear and tear. at the start, get a wall mount. Then cut back particularly 3/4" plywood approximately 2/3 of the size of the television in the two vertical and horizontal dimensions. cut back the perimeters at a 30 degree bevel. Paint to verify the wall in case you go with. discover the studs on your wall (Google "discover wall studs" in case you don't understand how.) the place you desire to mount the television. Mark their places with protecting tape. Drill 7/32" holes in the plywood to verify the stud spacing. One hollow 2" from the better ingredient and one hollow 2" from the decrease ingredient on the studs places nearest the ends of the plywood while that is in the situation the place you desire to mount the television. Mount the plywood using #10 x 2 a million/2" screws. Mount the television wall mount on the plywood using 3/4" long screws. a million/4" screws would be solid.

Answer 4

Is this a flat panel? Then yes, but the wall mounts can be a little expensive. Like up to $200.

Answer 5

Make sure the wall has been fully waterproofed and that there is no chance of water damge to the TV. If you can answer yes to that then you should definately hang it up on the wall.

Answer 6

I have 42 on my wall, and it is doing just fine. It really makes the room seem bigger as well.
