Understanding the Importance of Proper TV Wall Mount Installation
Installing a TV wall mount for a 75-inch TV is not only about elevating your home entertainment experience but also about ensuring safety and longevity of your device. A properly mounted TV can prevent accidental tipping, which can result in damage to the TV and potential injuries.
Moreover, a well-installed TV mount can also help optimize viewing angles, reduce glare and save valuable floor space, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetics and functionality of your living space. However, TV wall mount installation can be a challenging task, especially for large-sized TVs like 75-inch models.
If you’re unsure about the DIY approach, we at GTA TV Wall Mounting can do it for you anywhere in Toronto.
Choosing the Right Wall Mount for Your 75-inch TV
Before you delve into the world of DIY TV wall mount installation, it’s crucial to understand the various types of wall mounts available and find the one that best suits your TV and needs.
- Fixed Wall Mounts: These are the simplest and most affordable type. They hold your TV flush against the wall, but do not offer any flexibility in terms of tilt or swivel.
- Tilting Wall Mounts: They offer a vertical tilting feature that can help reduce glare from windows or lights.
- Full-motion or Articulating Wall Mounts: These offer the greatest flexibility with tilt and swivel capabilities. They are ideal for rooms with multiple viewing areas.
When it comes to a 75-inch TV, you’ll need a mount that can handle its weight and size. Check the mount’s rated screen size and weight limit against your TV’s specifications before you buy.
Step-by-Step Guide to TV Wall Mount Installation
Before you begin the installation process, ensure you have all the necessary tools on hand. A typical TV mount installation would require a drill, a stud finder, a screwdriver, a level, and a pencil for marking drill holes.
Pre-installation Considerations
- Wall Material: Determine if your wall is drywall, plaster, or concrete, and whether the studs behind drywall are wood or metal. Each type requires different fasteners and drill bits.
- Location: Choose a location that is convenient for viewing and close to an electrical outlet.
- Stud Finder: Use a stud finder to locate the studs in your wall. Most TV mounts require at least two studs for secure installation.
Detailed Installation Steps
- Mark the position of the studs where you’ll secure the wall mount.
- Hold the wall mount up to the wall and mark the drill holes.
- Drill the pilot holes and fix the mount with lag bolts into wood studs, or with toggle-style anchors through metal studs.
- Attach the brackets to the back of the TV.
- With the help of another person, lift the TV and secure it to the wall mount.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During Installation
One of the crucial things to do while installing a TV mount is to avoid common mistakes that could potentially lead to severe damages. Here are the most common errors you should steer clear of:
Incorrect Positioning
Most homeowners often make the mistake of incorrectly positioning their TV mounts. This can lead to an uncomfortable viewing experience and unnecessary strain on your neck and eyes. To avoid this, consider the viewing height and angle before commencing the installation process.
Inadequate Wall Strength
Not every wall can support the weight of a mounted TV. Using a wall that lacks the needed strength can lead to a catastrophic failure. It is important to ascertain the strength of the wall to ensure it can adequately support the TV’s weight.
Cables and Wire Management
Another common mistake is poor cable and wire management. Leaving wires hanging can be unsightly and potentially dangerous. Ensure the cables are well managed and hidden from view to maintain a clean and professional look.

Questions we get asked
75-Inch TV Installation Questions
The questions we get asked most on this one. If yours isn’t here, just ask us.
How much is 75-inch TV wall mounting in Toronto?
Sets above 75 inches start at $200. A 75-inch on regular drywall with a fixed or tilt bracket often falls at the top of the standard rate instead, so it is worth sending the model and a photo of the wall and letting us give you the actual number.
What kind of mount suits a 75-inch TV?
Fixed if you view the wall straight on, tilt if the screen has to sit higher or you are fighting glare, and full motion if you want to angle it between seating positions. Our single-arm full-motion mount covers 37 to 70 inch sets up to 60kg, so at 75 inches we normally move to the double-arm version.
Can a 75-inch TV be mounted on metal studs?
Yes, and in Toronto condos that is usually what we find. Metal studs will not hold what wood studs will, so they get a toggle system rated for the actual weight of the screen. It is a different fixing, not a weaker one, but it has to be the right one.
How far from the wall will a 75-inch TV sit?
A fixed mount holds it almost flat, a tilt bracket sits slightly proud, and a full-motion arm parks close but extends up to 24 inches when you pull it out. If a flush look matters to you, say so early, because it changes both the bracket and how the cabling has to be planned.
Can you mount a 75-inch TV above a fireplace?
Yes, with the screen above the mantel once the heat limits of the TV and the fireplace clearances have been checked, and the height set off your seating. A metal mount above a fireplace starts at $399.99. Marble, stone and under-cabinet surrounds we quote directly once we have seen a photo.
How long does a 75-inch TV installation take?
One visit, start to finish. We work 9:00am to 8:00pm seven days a week and can usually be with you the same day or the next. Wire concealment, masonry and fireplace walls all add time, so we give you a realistic window when the booking is confirmed.
