TV Mounting Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Viewing Experience
TV Mounting Looks Easy — Until It Isn’t
Mounting a TV on the wall can instantly modernize a room. It saves space, creates a clean look, and improves your entertainment setup. But when done incorrectly, small mistakes can lead to daily frustration.
Many of the setups we fix at CallTechCare started as simple DIY projects without proper planning.
Mistake #1: Mounting the TV Too High
One of the most common issues is mounting the TV too close to the ceiling. While it may look fine standing up, it quickly becomes uncomfortable when seated. A TV mounted too high can cause neck strain and eye fatigue over time.
The correct height depends on:
• Seating position
• Screen size
• Viewing distance
• Room layout
Proper planning ensures a comfortable viewing angle — not just an empty wall filled.
Mistake #2: Ignoring Cable Management
Nothing ruins a sleek setup faster than visible cables hanging down the wall.
Beyond appearance, exposed cables can:
• Collect dust
• Get damaged
• Become tripping hazards
• Make future device changes more difficult
Clean cable management creates a professional finish and improves safety.
Mistake #3: Choosing the Wrong Mount Type
Not all mounts serve the same purpose. Fixed mounts, tilting mounts, and full-motion mounts each offer different benefits.
Choosing the wrong mount can:
• Limit viewing angles
• Increase glare
• Make port access difficult
• Restrict flexibility later
The right mount depends on lighting, seating arrangement, and how often you adjust the screen.
Mistake #4: Poor Wall Support
Mounting directly into drywall without securing into studs is a serious safety risk. TVs must be anchored into proper structural support.
Incorrect installation can lead to:
• Wall damage
• Mount instability
• The TV falling
Safety should always come before convenience.
Mistake #5: Forgetting About Connected Devices
A TV setup isn’t just the screen. Streaming boxes, gaming consoles, soundbars, and cable boxes all require planning.
Without considering device placement, you may end up with:
• Blocked HDMI ports
• Limited airflow causing overheating
• Hard-to-reach cables
• Messy equipment placement
A complete TV mounting and setup solution considers the entire entertainment system.
