Wall Mounted TV
Has anyone had a TV mounted to the wall, when wall has metal studs? If so, did you have someone install it. Can I do it myself (37" TV)? What materials will I need? If not any recommendations will be appreciated....Laura

I'll be interested in responses to this post as well. We have just moved in and have a large flat-screen TV that we want to put on the wall. My husband is very handy, but he was also wondering if there were any issues to be aware of in working with metal studs. We've never had a house with these kind of studs.

Bethpage Black... are you from Long Island by any chance? Not a golfer but have heard of the course. Always a pleasure to find a little bit of our northern home.

I purchased a 55" tv from Best Buy and they installed it on my wall which also has metal studs. Personally I would not try this installation myself but I'm not very handy. Also with a heavy tv it takes some effort to lift it to get it on the wall.
As an aside my wife claims it's a little too high on the wall while I claim it's just right as you tilt your chairs back normally so you are looking straight at the tv while reclined. John |

We had ours installed on the wall, same problem of metal studs back there. We used Dave and Son Home Theater. He was more reasonable on price then best buy and we are pleased with the results. His name is Dave Palumbo and cell is 352-895-0022.

Cut 3/4 inch sanded plywood large enough to get to as many studs as possible without extending past the size of the TV. Paint the plywood the same color as the wall. Mount the plywood with at least 2 screws per stud, using 2 inch #10 sheet metal screws with washers. Mount TV bracket per manufacture instructions. IMHO.

One thing to consider is to put it on the wall opposite the kitchen cabinets if that is at all possible. There are wooden studs in those walls to support the cabinet's weight. We were fortunate enough that we wanted ours on a wall opposite the kitchen cabinets. I know everyone doesn't have that option, but a few do.

I would recommend letting the professionals do something like that. I tried a while ago doing it myself...:( and a neighbor gave me this guy's number. Try calling Jay at Audio Video Authority. His number is 352-516-7900. He installed mine. Very neat and clean job. Very professional and reasonable price. Very nice guy.
