The LCD television display technology continues to be one of the most popular televisions, because of the price and design. They great space savers as manufacturers continue to focus on making thinness of the more desirable features. Many of the advertisements for the current crop of LCD sets are based on the thickness. Not only to they save room but they offer superior picture quality.

Many of the manufacturers are also insisting that the LCD TV installation must include wall mounted flat panels that are designed for better performance. It may not be readily obvious, and seem almost incredulous, that the performance of your LCD will depend on the installation. However studies have shown that it does have a great effect. To be effective, an LCD Installation requires some assistance. More than an extra pair of hands would be needed, in addition to having the right tools.

An LCD TV installation can be challenging, and help will be needed. You will most likely need help in areas such as drilling of holes, and connecting the appropriate cables and wires, in addition to mounting the brackets on the walls. In some instances, some electrical wiring work may be needed.

If you think that you are up to the challenge, there are a few steps that should be followed very closely. It may seem to be an ignorant supposition, but before you begin planning the TV installation, the first step is to ensure that your LCD TV can be mounted on the wall. There is an industry designation that is used for labeling the models that are ready to be wall mounted. IF it is not ready to mount, there are some accessories and modifications that can be made.

Wall Mounted televisions are designed with inserts for screws and brackets at the sides and corners. The designation will also show if the set is Video Electronics Standards Association or VESA compliant. There are different types of mounting and brackets that provide different types of movement, and you will need to make a choice of the type of movement that you will need. It makes no sense to install a bracket with 270 degree rotation, if your seating only accommodates 90 degree viewing angle. The choice of TV installation will also be determined by the size of the set and room size.

Perhaps the most important consideration, which should be done before anything else, is to determine exactly where the set will be installed. You may need to move the furniture around or add additional wiring. The best location may be one where the set can be comfortably viewed from any location in the room.

Ideally, the room should be as dark as possible and there should be no facing windows. A few rules of thumb say that spaces that are as twice as wide as the width of the screen should be left on both sides, and the optimum viewing distance should also be at least twice the screen distance. After mounting your TV, the next most critical step is to ensure that it is properly calibrated.
