The directions call for 4 swag bolt to mount the omni mount. My studs are such that the mount will not be centered on wall to accommodate four bolts. I am thinking about using only two bolts in the center of the mount, drilled into the studs, and four other screws on the four corners of mount, drilled into 1" cypress boards to support the mount. Do you think the unit will be secure enough with this plan? I am going to hang a 40 inch lcd tv, that weighs only 37 #s. The directions call for 4 swag bolt to mount the omni mount.

On this short wall there are two studs but I can't use them b/c the tv will be hanging over the closet on one side or the entrance on the other. How do I hang these tv's without a stud?

This really helped me to grasp the ideas and concepts prior to getting started. I will be hanging a 52 inch. My goal is to hang it it above a gas fireplace in the center of the room. I assume that is possible if I can locate something to anchor it to. Is that accurate? Is there anything that I need to be carefulof or any advice or suggestions prior to mounting?<br><br>Thanks for any input! Thanks for all the helpful tips.

Peerless mounts might be a possibility however. Jim I’m sure something like that exists, I just cant think of who to check first, drawing a blank atm. Peerless mounts might be a possibility however.

I.e., a side mount or hinge type. Picture the way a door swings on its hinge. Is there a way to do this already out there or do I have to modify something?

First off with the fire place on/lit/running (I don’t know if its wood/gas/electric) walk up and place your hand in the area directly above it, is it hot to the touch? If so don’t mount it there. Also an oven thermometer can give you a more accurate reading, if that temperature is above the manufacturers operating threshold in the owners manual, don’t mount it there. However in my experience the nominal temperature above fireplaces generally never reaches temperatures that would worry me about mounting a display above them, but again use caution. Even if the area in question is only slightly above the manufacturers recommended temperature threshold, it can cut the displays life expectancy in half. In short I don’t have a one-size-fits-all answer for you as fireplaces can vary wildly in how much ambient heat they put out.
