In order to make the most of any TV, you need to ensure you have a good place to put it! To help save extra floor space and create a modern look, many people opt to wall mount their TVs. But can this safely be done with a 98 inch TV?

Would a 98-inch TV be too heavy to wall mount? And how would you even go about doing it? Thanks to our Reliant tech experts, we’ve put together this guide to find out if you can wall-mount TVs of this size, and how it might be done!

Can You Wall Mount A 98-Inch TV?

Yes. However, because these TVs are naturally much heavier than others, you’ll want to make sure to do it just right. Most importantly, you need to make sure you have the right kind of wall mount bracket. Mounting brackets are made to work with specific TV sizes and the specific weight of the TV model. As such, you’ll need to know exactly the TV model you have. This will ensure you have the right bracket.

You can wall-mount 98-inch TVs! In order to do so, you’ll need a specialised bracket that suits the size and model of your TV. This ensures a secure and firm hold.

The TV bracket is screwed directly into the rear of the TV, to ensure a firm hold. This bracket is then attached directly to the wall. This ensures that the TV won’t shift, no matter what. This helps to keep it safe. A good wall mount will hold the TV in place, while also allowing you to adjust the screen’s angle.

How Can You Safely Wall Mount A 98-Inch TV?

The most important thing to check before wall-mounting a TV is the wall itself. You want to ensure the wall has enough structural integrity to hold your TV up for years to come. Preferably, you want to work with brick walls. These are incredibly firm, and they work well with the strongest screws.

If you’re instead working with a stud wall, you’ll need to be a little more careful. A stud wall is made up of a frame, with plasterboard placed over it. You want to ensure that your screws are going directly into the stud frame. The plasterboard alone will not be able to hold your TV!

Once the mount is in place, and the mounting bracket is attached to the TV, all you then need to do is connect the two. We’d recommend connecting any necessary cables first, to make it much easier to get right to watching!
