TV Mount Questions
So I finally took delivery of my Salem 27RKSS this week, and have a few things needed to get it ready for our trip next weekend. I've been reading about mounting TV's, and it all seems pretty strai...
Forum Discussion
Find the sticker, check for backer, and mount.
I have found the sticker to be off the mark on a few models.
The walls are thin enough to tap on them to get a good idea of where the wood filler is located.
I got lucky and found some posts on the owners forums where owners addressed this more specifically.
What some have done is to use a piece of plywood (maybe approx 12x12)
and mount that to the wall near the OEM sticker with a lot of screws with spacers. This holds the plywood away from the wall so you get a nut and bolt tightened to hold the tv mount to it.
The weight of the tv won't rip the bolts out of the 12x12 plywood and all those screws offer a lot of holding power opposed to 3 or 4 .
when traveling...use a strap to secure it. if you use one strap, run it horizontal. Two might be better on a 42" , then I would run them vertically at the 25% and 75% mark.
Am I making any sense ? :h :)
