TV Mounting Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Viewing Experience

TV Mounting Looks Easy — Until It Isn’t

Mounting a TV on the wall instantly upgrades a room, but when it’s done incorrectly, the results can be frustrating. From awkward viewing angles to dangling cables, small mistakes can turn a clean setup into a daily annoyance.

Many issues we fix at CallTechCare come from TVs that were mounted without proper planning.

Mistake #1: Mounting the TV Too High

One of the most common problems is mounting the TV too close to the ceiling. While it may look fine standing up, it quickly becomes uncomfortable when seated. A TV that’s too high can cause neck strain and eye fatigue over time.

Proper height depends on seating position, screen size, and room layout — not just wall space.

Mistake #2: Ignoring Cable Management

Nothing ruins a sleek TV 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 harder

Clean cable management creates a professional finish and keeps everything organized.

Mistake #3: Choosing the Wrong Mount Type

Not every TV mount is the same. A fixed mount, tilting mount, or full-motion mount each serves a different purpose. Choosing the wrong one can limit viewing angles, increase glare, or make it difficult to access ports later.

The right mount depends on room lighting, seating layout, and how often you adjust the screen.

Mistake #4: Poor Wall Support

Mounting into drywall without proper support is a serious safety risk. TVs must be secured into studs or appropriate mounting surfaces. Incorrect installation can lead to wall damage — or worse, the TV falling.

Safety should always come before convenience.

Mistake #5: Forgetting About Connected Devices

Streaming boxes, soundbars, gaming consoles, and cable boxes all need planning. Without considering device placement, you may end up with:

• Blocked ports
• Limited airflow
• Hard-to-reach connections

A good TV mounting setup includes the entire entertainment system, not just the screen.
