Go to Best Buy and buy the TV mount


Well don't do this unless you like overpaying. Monoprice has great mounts for a fraction of the cost.

Buy a mount on Amazon and do it yourself. It's really easy. I've got all of the TVs in my house mounted. The hard part is hiding your cables. If I can do it, anybody can. I'm no handy man.

Depends on how much you value your pride?

So in a brick wall, what would you do? Drill and epoxy in anchors? Red head it?

If its hollow brick, drill holes in the mortar. If its solid, it doesn't matter.

I've mounted several using the standard lead anchor sleeves.

I have done three in my house (bedroom, office, and outside patio). All super easy. Like they literally give you a cardboard cutout that you just mark your screws and go.

If you can't do this yourself, you should be in a basic skills class, not watching the damn tv.

Walmart also has very inexpensive mounts that will definitely get the job done.

I second this. It's way cheaper than stores locally and they have all kinds you'd ever want.

The frick you talking about. It was known here they I did electronic repairs and installs before finding out that appliance repair is easier and more lucrative.

I can get babass stands that come of 30" from the wall and were designed for 60" 00's tvs. Which are heavier than modern for $39.
I would pay two guys and the total with materials was like $75-80.
I charged $300 plus tax, if they wanted the wires hidden that was usually $50 more and if it were mounted to brick it was $75 more and $55 on that for metal trim conduit.

But talking out my arse?

Two ways to do brick.
Both require drilling.

#1 masonary anchors and matching lag screws.

Or


#2 masonary lag screws with various thread pitches that bite into brick.


Either way you need a drill(no hammer function on the brick) and an impact driver or socket wrench. Go to an ace or true value and ask for masonary lag screws, they will have both types.
