TV mounting costs by type
The type of mount and location for your flat-screen TV will be the biggest cost drivers for your installation—whether it’s on a living room wall, under a cabinet, or above a fireplace. Location helps determine the type of mount needed, such as ultra-thin, swiveling, or full-motion. I can help you pick the proper type of mount for the location you select.
Types of T.V. Mounts
Fixed mount. Fixed wall mounts are the most basic TV mounts. These TV mounts are set to a single position and hold the TV firmly in place. Make sure you’re happy with the proposed position of the TV before it goes up, as it cannot be shifted once installed.
Average cost: $75–200
Swivel mount. These wall mounts allow TVs to tilt up and down, swivel left to right, or both, to adjust for window glare or more guests in the room.
Average cost: $100–300
Full-motion mount. Full-motion TV mounts use brackets to let you fully move the TV up and down and side to side. You can shift the TV to whatever position and angle is best for your viewing experience. Full-motion mounts come in a wide range of motions, styles, and features. Average cost: $150–400
Ceiling mount. Ceiling mounts are useful when a wall mount isn’t recommended or will be overly expensive due to the wall material. For example, if your wall contains metal studs rather than wood, wall installation isn’t recommended because these studs aren’t designed to hold the weight of a television. Most ceiling mounts come with the ability to swivel and tilt to create the perfect viewing angle or keep a low profile.
Average cost: $150–300
Under-cabinet mount. Meant for smaller screens (up to 30–35 inches), under-cabinet TV mounts are predominantly used in kitchens, allowing viewers to adjust the TV position for cooking or eating. The size and weight of the TV will affect which under-cabinet mounts can be used.
Average cost: $75–150
Fireplace mount. Above the fireplace remains a popular place to mount a TV. These mounts are specifically designed for fireplaces and allow you to pull the TV fully out and down over the mantle to eye level. Installation of fireplace mounts that require affixing mounting brackets to a brick wall can be more expensive.
Average cost: $200-450
Cost factors
- Type of wall. Standard wall materials like drywall make installation easier, while brick, concrete, and other hard materials require more intensive labor, driving up cost.
- VESA number. Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) numbers are sometimes included on TV to indicate manufacturing standards. If your television has a VESA number, you’ll need to select a compatible mount with a corresponding VESA number, which might increase the price of your mount and hardware.
