A new TV is a popular Christmas gift — and it can easily spend its first weeks on a stand, or still in the box, because nobody planned the wall. If a TV is going under your tree this year, a little planning now means it is on the wall and working when you want it to be.
Black Friday at PrimeTV
Two TVs mounted from $199 with a Black Friday Promo (drywall walls only, not over a fireplace), or 10% off any other service. Limited time.
Key takeaways
- Book the date early, so you get the day you want.
- You can book before the TV arrives — it only needs to be at home on the day.
- The TV needs a mount, and it isn't in the box. Buy it with the TV.
- Keep the box and the receipt until the TV is mounted and tested.
- Mounting starts from $110 per TV up to 55 inches and from $150 over 55 inches.
Two ways to do it
Mounted before Christmas
The TV is on the wall, cables hidden, ready for Christmas morning. This works when:
- the TV has already arrived
- the person it's for will be out of the house for an hour or two
- you know which wall it goes on
It is the bigger surprise, but you are choosing the wall and the height for someone else. If you're not sure where they'd want it, the second way is safer.
Mounted after Christmas
The TV is unwrapped on the day, and the installation is part of the gift. This works when:
- you want them to choose the wall and the height
- the TV arrives close to Christmas
- you're giving the TV to someone in another home
Book the date in advance either way, so the TV doesn't sit in its box into January.
What to buy with the TV
A wall mount. TVs come with feet, not a bracket. The mount has to match the TV's VESA pattern (the spacing of the holes on the back) and be rated for its weight. If you don't know which one to get, our guide to which TV mount you need covers it, or send us the TV model and we'll tell you.
HDMI cables long enough to reach. If a streaming box, console or soundbar will connect to the TV, the cables need to reach from wherever those sit to the back of the TV on the wall — usually longer than the ones in the box.
A soundbar, if it's part of the gift. It can be mounted in the same visit, so mention it when you book.
Before the appointment
- Test the TV. Plug it in on its stand and check the picture. If something is wrong, you want to know while it can still go back to the store.
- Keep the box and the receipt until it's mounted and working.
- Pick the wall and check what it's made of. Drywall is the standard; brick, stone or tile and above a fireplace take a different plan.
- Decide about the cables. Hidden in the wall or left visible — it's much easier to do in the same visit than later.
- Clear the way to the wall, including any furniture under where the TV will hang.
How high should it go?
The center of the screen should be close to seated eye level — around 42 to 48 inches from the floor in a living room, and higher in a bedroom where you watch lying down. Our guide to the best height to mount a TV has the measurements for 55, 65, 75 and 85-inch screens.
What it costs
- TV up to 55 inches: from $110 per TV
- TV over 55 inches: from $150 per TV
- Cable concealment: from $70 per TV
- Over a fireplace, or on brick, stone or tile: from $25 extra
