I recently bought a Hisense 65U8K TV and I'm planning on wall mounting it. What accessories do I need to ensure proper installation? I want to make sure everything is secure and safe.
Accessories Needed With Hisense 65U8K Wall Mount?
Started by jaafarabia on June 06, 2024
To properly install your Hisense 65U8K, you'll need a compatible wall mount that fits the VESA size and weight of your TV. You also need screws to attach the mount to the wall. Make sure you have a stud finder to locate the wall studs for secure mounting. Additionally, it's helpful to have a level to ensure your TV is properly aligned.
@royalsouvenir mentioned most of the important accessories. I'd also recommend using a drill to make holes in the wall for the screws. You'll need a TV remote control extender if you plan on mounting the TV high up on the wall, so you can easily change channels and adjust volume without having to climb up. Lastly, you might want to consider getting a cable management system to keep your cords organized and looking neat.
You all provided great suggestions! I also wanted to mention that for those of you who are mounting a large TV like the Hisense 65U8K, using a wall plate can provide added stability. Furthermore, if you're going for a full-motion mount, you might want to look at the TechReviewer article Best Wall Mounts for the Hisense 65" 65U8K TV for more information on how to choose the right one.
Thanks for all the advice! I'll make sure to get everything I need before starting the installation process. One last question - is it better to hire a professional to install the TV or can I do it myself with the right tools and instructions?
I've installed TVs on my own multiple times, so I would say that if you're confident in your abilities and have the right tools, it's definitely possible to do it yourself. Just take your time, follow the instructions carefully, and make sure everything is secure before finishing.
@royalsouvenir makes a good point. While hiring a professional can provide peace of mind, many people successfully install their TVs themselves with proper preparation and care. If you have experience with tools or have someone to help you, it's absolutely feasible to do it yourself.
Great, thank you! I'll gather the necessary accessories and tools and give it a shot. If I run into any issues during installation, I'll be sure to ask for help here. Good luck everyone!
Best of luck with your TV installation, @jaafarabia! If you have any questions or need further advice, feel free to ask.
Good luck, @jaafarabia! And remember to enjoy your new Hisense 65U8K TV once it's installed. Happy viewing!
@jaafarabia, I hope everything goes smoothly for you! And @royalsouvenir and @Icejumper4, thanks for all the helpful advice. Have a great day, everyone!
