Got a new flat screen TV? Surely, you must now be thinking of mounting it on the wall. Installing it is not akin to installing traditional TV sets. It requires special wiring, possible outlet addition and a well manufactured TV mount. The first step to installation is to call an expert electrician to help you in technical aspects. At the same time, consider a few things that determine and affect the cost to put your flat screen TV on the wall. Type of Wall Mount In addition to possible professional installation service costs, one of the major factors that determines the cost of mounting a TV screen is the TV wall mount. A strong and good quality TV mount ensures that your TV does not damage the wall and stays on it for a long time. Even though purchasing a TV wall mount might be an additional cost, once your TV is installed on the wall, you will be happy you did it. The wall mounted TV will not only enhance the look of your new flat screen TV in the area it is installed at, but it will also clear out space. A wall mounted TV can also provide additional features, such as changing the angle of the TV as your viewing locations change. You can find a large variety of mounts in the market. Some are simple, others articulating; still others tilting. Their price varies depending on the quality, size and features. Tip: Get your TV screen a wall mount from Mount-It!, a well-reputed manufacturer of TV mounting products that offers a wide selection of TV mounts ranging between $20 and $200. Complexity of Installation The complexity of installation will also determine the total cost of installation. The complexity depends on where the mount is installed, as well as what other features are desired. Mounting a TV on a standard dry wall can be simple enough, while installing the TV in a corner, at a recessed area or on top of a fireplace can be more challenging. If you desire to hide the cable runs from your DVD player, cable box or game consoles to the TV, you can either route the cables behind the wall or purchase track molding to install them outside the wall, but in a concealed manner. These options will either likely be an additional installation charge, or will require you to purchase track molding. Routing the cables behind the wall is a superior option as it provides maximum concealment of cables and keeps children and pets protected from reaching the cables. If you choose this type of installation, just ensure there is enough cable length for installations with articulating TV mounts, as these mounts typically extend away from the wall if they are swiveled left or right.
