A few months back we wrote about the dangers of today’s TVs<\/a>\u00a0and the need for a wall mount for flat screen TVs. \u00a0According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, a child is killed every 3 weeks from an unsecured TV set. \u00a0Every three weeks! \u00a0Yikes! \u00a0Today’s flat screen TVs are so thin and even though they have a heavy base, children can grab the screen and easily tip it over. \u00a0 TVs are a curiosity for kids. \u00a0Either they are trying to change the angle of the TV like they’ve seen their parents do, they want to touch the screen, or often they try to climb the table that the TV is on. \u00a0Purchasing a wall mount for flat screen TVs is really the safest option for your TV and provides the best viewing option for you as well.<\/p>\n

Isn’t Hard to Install a Wall Mount for Flat Screen TVs?<\/span><\/h2>\n

There’s no doubt it takes extra effort to wall mount your flat screen TV to the wall, but in the end, it’s a wise choice. \u00a0We recently installed a Sanus <\/a>ALF109-B1 Full-Motion Mount for larger TV’s – up to 70″ in our home. \u00a0We installed a 46″ Samsung TV using this mount in our exercise room. \u00a0It is my hope that by installing a TV in that room, my husband and I will use it more. \u00a0The room is decorator style room ready, now we just need some “participants” to use it!<\/p>\n

We have a high bookcase in this room where we had a smaller TV resting on before. \u00a0But the bookcase was designed for towels and weights, so it’s a very tempting bookcase for young kids to want to climb. \u00a0A wall mount made sense so we could adjust the TV to various angles of the room, dependent upon whether we were using the treadmill, punching the bag, or doing sit-ups. \u00a0There’s nothing like watching some TV when trying to distract you from how hard sit-ups can be!<\/p>\n

Sanus recognizes that people can be intimidated by hanging up a wall mounted TV. \u00a0On each Sanus wall mount box, they have a QR code that you can use with your smartphone or tablet to get additional information on your new TV wall mount. \u00a0It gives you features, helpful videos to see what full motion looks like, and even an installation video to use with the Sanus installation guide so you can better understand how to hang your TV. \u00a0Sanus instructions are pretty thorough, easy enough to understand, but there’s nothing like seeing the installation on video to help you grasp the process even better.<\/p>\n

OK, I’ll admit that I did not hang the TV myself. \u00a0I actually paid someone to do it for me, as they were already doing some work in our house. \u00a0But it didn’t take them long to install it and they said it was pretty straight forward.<\/p>\n
