How Easy Is It To Hang A 42″ Plasma Television On The Wall And Does It Take Two People To Mount Onto The Wall.
depends on the model and how its mounted
most you just mount the bracket, attach the mount to the tv(some slice on, some bolt on, some clip on, there is many types) then adjust the viewing angle
42 inches shouldnt be too hard for an average person but if you are a twig who has never used a screwdriver before then get help
make sure you mount the bracket into the studs so the tv doesnt come crashing down

It will have cost a packet, just pay a little more and get someone who knows what their doing to hang it.

You definitely need somebody to help you , just in case things be right.

Its very easy. Just use some big coach bolts through the bracket and into the studs. The hardest part will be getting the cable through the wall cos theres nothing worse to look at than a nicely mounted plasma with cables hanging out of it. I could have lifted the plasma onto the bracket myself but given how much I had just shelled out on it I got my wife to help me lift it up.

Its quite easy. Once you put the bracket on the wall, your tv should just sit on it. I managed to do mine on my own and I’m no handy andy!

a 42 inch plasma wil extremely heavy.the wall must be sound and you will need a least 2 people to lift it on to the wall.
there is a special bracket for wall fixing of course.

I’ve lifted a 42″ by myself, but the guy who owned it had it mounted at chest level on his wall…….
So if you want to do it yourself, I ONLY suggest that it be mounted at “chest level” or lower……
With that said, you will need 2 people to carefully install/remove it above the shoulder level……
As for mounting these, the bracket instructions should be able to give you the PROPER screw sizing if they aren’t provided……
Try to get the screws into the framing…..AND ABSOLUTELY USE WALL ANCHORS if the holes are in DRYWALL !!
Or you will lose over $2000 the day you hang it on the bracket.
