TV Wall Mounting Myths — Busted

The truth behind common misconceptions (and how to avoid costly regrets).

1. “I’ll lose access to the ports.”

This is one of the biggest misconceptions we hear.

Truth: With the right bracket and smart placement, your ports stay fully accessible. Some brackets even tilt or extend to give you easy reach around the back when needed. And if you’ve got a modern TV (like a Samsung Frame or LG Gallery), clever design means minimal cabling and hidden tech.

Pro Tip: We always discuss your needs upfront—gaming consoles, sound systems, streaming boxes—so we choose the right bracket and make ports easy to access.

2. “Any bracket will do.”

You found one at Bunnings for $30—how different can they really be?

Truth: Brackets are like the foundation of your setup. Get the wrong one, and it could sag, tilt unexpectedly, or even damage your wall. Worse, it might not support your TV’s size or weight.

3. “I’ll just DIY it.”

We get it—it’s tempting to watch a YouTube video and give it a crack.

Truth: A DIY install often leads to mistakes you can’t see until it’s too late: wall damage, uneven mounting, dangling cables, and unsafe power points. And if your home has metal studs, masonry, or double brick? You’re in a whole new territory.

Our team are licensed electricians and experienced installers. We get it done once, done right—and leave your space cleaner than we found it.

4. “Mounting the TV is the easy part.”

Sure, lifting a TV onto the wall might seem straightforward. But what about hiding cables? Matching the perfect height? Checking for internal studs, plumbing, or wires behind the wall?

Truth: TV mounting is an art. It’s part design, part electrical, part construction—and all precision.

5. “All installers are basically the same.”

Some providers offer rock-bottom pricing—but often cut corners: visible cords, poor alignments, even no warranty.

Truth: We’re not the cheapest, and we’re proud of that. We hire licensed professionals. We include hidden power solutions. We do what others skip.

Because you’re not just buying an install. You’re investing in peace of mind, long-term reliability, and a better-looking home.

Final Word

Don’t let these myths guide your decisions. A beautifully mounted TV isn’t just about tech—it’s about how your home feels.
