What you need to mount your TV
Before you get started on your TV mount installation, here are a few things you should have on hand:

Stud finder: Unless you want a TV disaster, don’t mount your TV to drywall
Power drill: You can try to mount the TV with a screwdriver, but you might be at it a while.
Carbide-tipped masonry bit: Use this to make pilot holes in the drywall, which you’ll drill your mounting screws into.
Phillips head drill bit: Use this to drive the mounting screws.
Level: Don’t trust your eyes with this one—no one wants to watch crooked TV.
TV mount: Obviously, to mount your TV to your wall, you need a TV mount rated for your model of TV.
Painters tape (optional): When you find your wall studs, mark them with a little piece of painters tape.
A friend (optional): TVs are big, heavy, and awkward to lift. Unless you’re way more coordinated than we are, trying to hold one steady and line up brackets is a recipe for disaster. Grab a friend for best results.
