Handy Tips on Mounting your LCD TV

What kind of Wall Do You Have?
The type of wall you have in your room will determine the kind of metal anchor or studs that will fix your LCD TV in place. Is it Wood, concrete, drywall, brick-finished? Your metal anchor and metal brace should support at least 5 times the weight of your flatscreen TV. You can buy a relay mounting kit or can score metal studs per piece or as needed.

The bigger the beast, the harder it is to mount. I'm referring to that humongous flatscreen you just bought! if its 42 to 60 inches, make sure you that wall of yours can take it on, otherwise, prepare for plaster to come crashing down along with your TV.

A Little Bit of Home Improvement

If you're not the handy with tools, I suggest calling on professional installers. But if you would like to attempt installing things yourself, its quite understandable, considering you've probably spent the bulk of money on the LCD TV already. If you still have a budget left over, hire a professional and spare yourself the trouble.

But since, most flatsceens can be mounted with tools you already have at home, which are basic hand-tools and a power drill. One item you may not have yet, which is important in estimating the exact wall-mount position, is a stud finder which costs about $20 at your local hardware store.

Ready these Tools:

• Sheetrock Saw
• Electrical Tape
• Stud-Finder
• Tape Measure
• Socket set
• Torpedo Level
• Philips Screw Driver
• Hand Drill
• LCD/Plasma wall mount
• Proper cabling

Panasonic TC-P55ST50

The affordable Panasonic TC-PST50 series exhibited outstanding overall picture quality, characterized by exceedingly deep black levels with great shadow detail, accurate colors, and solid bright-room performance. Unlike LCDs, as a plasma it has superb off-angle and uniformity characteristics. The styling is attractive and the feature set well-chosen, including excellent onscreen help options.
 

The ST50 uses more power than competing LCD TVs, and doesn't perform as well in bright rooms as those with matte screens. It doesn't include 3D glasses, and 3D picture quality showed more crosstalk than many competitors' models. The ST50 is only available in 50-inch and larger sizes. Three HDMI inputs is one fewer than most midrange TVs offer.

With flagship-level picture quality for a midlevel price, the Panasonic ST50 series sets the value standard among videophile-grade TVs.

I Speak TV!

Freshly delivered, getting it for a friend. A Sony Bravia 26'' LCD Digital Color TV. This was something within her budget.

If you're wondering, I'm always the "Go-To" TV guy. Most people don't want to do research or talk pixel ratios and contrast. But I do meet hot chicks this way. Hah!

3D TV Samsung LN46C750

For a mid-level screen its a considerably sleek. The gloss black finish and textured plastic does wonders for the Samsung LN46C750 which it makes it more look expensive and stylish.

The price is nice for an introductory 3D TV at $1400, and this one's being from the LCD forerunner Samsung, which makes many of the LCD sets that rate high in consumer reviews. But this particular model might fall a bit short of your expectations on the 3D side and the backlighting issues, but I guess that explains why its moderately priced for a 46-inch LCD set. Still, it delivers a High Definition performance, the screen is basically excellent. The screen resolution is 1080p and it has dual volume capacity with its 10 Watt speakers, wide color enhancer feature, and supports Skype. This is certainly a cheap way to get into a 3D TV if you are in the market.
