Figuring out how to mount a TV can seem intimidating. We get it. Some TVs are bulky, some mounts even bulkier, and the instructions can be really complex for a—let’s be real—somewhat lackluster presentation at the end. Samsung QLED TV and the No-Gap Wall Mount are here to put an end to that.^* Not only is QLED TV sleek and beautiful all around, the No-Gap Wall Mount makes TV installation simple and holds the TV so close to the wall, the result is impressive.^† Here’s what you need to know when you’re mounting a TV.

Positioning is important

There are three main factors to think about when preparing to mount your TV: location, eye level, and viewing distance.

Taking these measurements and ideas into consideration is very important for an optimal TV experience. You know the old saying, measure twice, cut once? Here it’s measure twice, drill once!

For location, it’s not just room. You likely have an idea of which room to put it in, but which wall is important too. Determine which area would best suit your décor and keep the room comfortable. A wall not directly facing the window is also good to reduce potential glare (although QLED TVs have Ultra Black technology built in to help reflect glare too!).

Regarding eye level height, you’ll need to get the measuring tape ready! Depending on your height and whether you’re on the couch or in bed, the eye level measurement is going to be different.

Finally, viewing distance. The recommended distance is 1.5–2.5x the diagonal screen measurement for UHD (1080p) TVs, and 1–1.5x that measurement for QLED (4K) TVs. Once you know where you’re mounting the TV, you may need to move some furniture slightly for the ideal view. Luckily, 2017 Samsung TVs provides colorful, crisp, and detailed picture quality at many angles, so everyone in the house can enjoy it. Plus, the No-Gap Wall Mount allows you to make some adjustments after mounting for comfort, too.

Consider the best use of space for your TV

The most immediate benefit of mounting the TV is freeing up floor space! So if you’ve been looking for a way to open up the room a bit, a wall-mounted TV is great. With the No-Gap Wall Mount, your Samsung QLED TV will sit nearly flush against the wall, making it a seamless, clean-looking addition to any interior—especially since there’s no clunky mount arm behind the screen! Plus, the minimal gap Samsung’s wall mount offers has hygienic purposes, too! While many TVs are a gathering place for dust (ew!), No-Gap Wall Mount holding the QLED TV so close to the wall means fewer surfaces for dust to settle.

No more straining your arm to reach behind the TV with your duster. Not to mention that the Invisible Connection answers any questions you’ve had about how to hide TV cables by hiding away your devices. It’s an ultrathin optical cable with the One Connect at the end, allowing you to plug in your game consoles and media players with ease and tuck them out of sight.^‡ Meaning, even fewer surfaces to dust around the TV.

Discover QLED TV’s simple mounting method

Most people have horror stories about mounting a TV. Don’t fret, though, because the No-Gap Wall Mount makes mounting easy. In fact, there are only four steps, and even a video that shows you how simple it is!

1. Install the wall mount kit on the back of the QLED TV.
2. Connect the Invisible Connection and power cable to the back of the TV before you mount. It gets tricky if you don’t do this first.
3. Install hanger kit on the wall using the included guide, based on the measurements you determined in step two.
4. Place TV on the hanger, and adjust the angle to make the TV level and tilted the way you prefer.

Now, to enjoy your mounted TV

You’re done! Your QLED TV’s mounted and here’s what you’ll get: great image quality whether you’re sitting right in front or moving around the room, a tiny gap between the TV and the wall, and the clean view that the Invisible Connection creates by allowing you to place any game consoles out of the way. Imagine your home with your new Samsung TV mounted and ready… doesn’t the room feel more spacious already?

It’s a headache in the making. But we’ve got great news: the new QLED TV lineup is designed to be beautiful and suit your style, no matter where in the home it’s placed.*

It’s a TV that works with your taste and lifestyle, so you make the call of where it goes instead of having to adjust and rearrange your home to make it work.

The beauty in QLED TV

Whatever size you choose, whether you prefer flat or curved—the QLED TV lineup is made to look gorgeous and right at home wherever you put it. How? Well, it’s sleek and slim, so it fits anywhere you want it, from the bedroom to the kitchen, or your quintessential, appropriately-named, TV room.

It has what we like to call boundless 360 design, which means if you take a full spin around the TV, you’ll see from the seamless back to the four-side bezel-less screen, the QLED TV is a striking piece that looks good in any home, at any angle.

QLED TV adds to your decor

When you’re shopping for new decorative pieces, you make sure that they’ll contribute something to the room. TVs should be shopped for in the same way—they should add beauty and function to your home. QLED TVs have several features that allow it to suit your home’s style, whatever it may be. For example, if you don’t want a TV console taking up space, you can utilize the No-Gap Wall Mount, which allows the TV to sit nearly flush against the wall.

Plus, it gets rid of the unsightly gap and the TV doesn’t stick out far from the wall. And the best part is this mount allows QLED TV to be hung up effortlessly, so you don’t need to study a confusing manual or turn to the Internet to find out how to mount a TV on the wall.

In fact, the No-Gap Wall Mount makes TV installation simple and quick—it takes around 15 minutes to install—so you can get to what’s really important: catching up on your favorite shows on your new TV. † Then when it’s mounted… it looks great, right? The QLED TV’s presence looks fantastic in a room and is as unobtrusive as it is beautiful, which means you don’t need to decorate around the TV.

Of course, as most TVs do, the QLED TV can stand on its own as well. While it’s so easy to mount QLED TV on your wall should you wish, if you want to use your TV as more of a statement piece you can absolutely do that too.

With two optional stands that simply enhance its boundless design, the TV wall mount vs stand decision may have gotten a little harder.‡ The Studio Stand holds it like an easel holds a canvas, while on the Gravity Stand, QLED TV seems to float weightlessly above its perch.

It all depends on what your style calls for, and doesn’t it feel great to know that whatever you choose—stand or mount—the QLED TV will look equally amazing in your home? Instead of switching up your interior design for the TV, you can keep things as they are because QLED TV is made to suit your style and add value to the space, plus it’s totally adaptable to your lifestyle.

The Invisible Connection also plays a huge part in allowing QLED TV to be beautiful in any room and complementing its decor.§ Take a closer look at QLED TV out of the box and you’ll notice an unusual sight: there’s no place to plug in devices in the back, but instead there is a single, nearly invisible cable that has a box at the end with those inputs.

That’s the Invisible Connection, it’s going to keep the TV area clear by allowing you to tuck devices out of sight, freeing up space in the room for the clean, minimal look you’ve been wanting.

Have you ever wondered how to hide your TV cables when the mess of wires becomes too much?

With the dream team of the Invisible Connection and the One Connect you don’t have to, because they tuck away devices, effectively hiding the wires that so frequently surround a screen and instead providing just a clean, unobstructed view of the TV that’s easy to maintain.
