Plain English
If a sentence needs a glossary, it needs rewriting. We explain the wall, the bracket, the cables, and the height the way you'd explain them to a friend.

About this
guide.
HomeTVMount is a free, independent resource that explains TV mounting in plain English — no brands promoted, no products or services sold. Just the background you need to decide for yourself.
The reason
Why this guide exists.
Good, jargon-free information about mounting a television is surprisingly hard to find. Most of what's online is really an advert. This isn't.
Search for "how to mount a TV" and most results are trying to sell you a bracket, an installation service, or a specific brand. The genuinely useful, neutral explanations are buried underneath. We built HomeTVMount to be the page we wished existed: a clear walk-through of what mounting is, how it's used, why people choose it, and how the options differ — with nothing to buy at the end of it.
Everything here is written to be brand-neutral. Where products or providers are mentioned, they're described by category — "a full-motion mount", "a professional installer" — never by name and never with a recommendation. That's deliberate: advice you can trust is advice with no hidden angle.
Because we don't sell anything, there's no upsell, no lead-selling, and no pressure. If the guide helps you do a simple job confidently yourself, good. If it helps you understand what to ask a professional, just as good. Either way, the information is the whole product.
What we stand for
Four principles behind every page.
These four shape what goes on the site — and, just as importantly, what stays off it.
Nothing to sell
No mounts, no bookings, no commission. Advice you can trust is advice with no hidden angle — the guide is free, and it stays free.
Safety over shortcuts
A television is heavy and hangs over people. We point toward solid anchoring, electrical rules, and knowing when a job is beyond DIY.
Honest about limits
A website can't see your actual wall. When something needs a professional's eyes, we say so plainly rather than pretending a guide covers every case.
Independent and information-only. HomeTVMount is not a shop or an installer. We don't take bookings, hold stock, or earn anything from the choices you make after reading. If that ever changes, you'll read it here first.
