About
A plain guide to
a common job.
Instant TV Mount is a free, independent guide to wall-mounting a television. No products, no bookings, no brands pushed — just clear, honest information for anyone standing in front of a wall wondering where to start.
Why it exists
Why this guide is here.
Most people mount a television once or twice in their life — and the advice online is scattered, sponsored, or written to sell something. This site is the opposite.
Wall-mounting a TV isn't difficult, but it's easy to get wrong in ways that only show up later: a screen that's too high, an anchor that won't hold, cables that dangle because nobody planned the route. The information you need is simple; it's just rarely gathered in one honest, plain-language place.
That's the whole reason for this site. We collected the questions people actually ask — what mounting is, how it's used, why people bother, where to find the parts and help, and how the options compare — and answered each one clearly, without steering you toward any product or brand.
Everything here is free to read. We don't sell mounts, we don't fit televisions, and we don't take commissions from anyone who does. If the guide helps you make a safe, confident decision, it has done its job.
How we write it
Four standards every page is held to.
An informational site is only as good as its honesty. These are the standards behind every page — and the reason you can trust what you read here.
Safety before shortcuts
A television on the wall is heavy and above people's heads. Wherever there's a trade-off between an easy method and a safe one, we say so plainly and point to the safe path — including “hire a professional” when that's the honest answer.
Plain language, no jargon
Terms like VESA, stud spacing and articulating arm get explained the first time they appear. If a page needs a diagram to be clear, it gets one. We'd rather a page be simple than sound clever.
Guidance, not a verdict
Every wall, TV and room is different. We give you the principles and the questions to ask; we can't see your wall, so we never present our figures as a substitute for a professional who can.
Who it's for
Written for anyone facing a blank wall.
You don't need to be handy to get value here. The guide is built to help at whatever point you're standing.
The first-timer
Never mounted a TV and not sure where to begin. Start with what mounting is, then read the main types and how they're used.
The DIYer
Comfortable with tools but wants to sanity-check the height, the wall type and the cable plan before drilling. The compare page and FAQ are for you.
The planner
Plans to hire someone but wants to understand the options and ask the right questions first — so nothing is a surprise on the day.
Free & independent
Read the guide, keep the decision.
Free to read, kept current, and always brand-neutral. If you spot something out of date or unclear, we genuinely want to hear about it.
