Installing tube TVs often requires little planning. When you purchase a plasma TV, however, you will need to plan much more extensively before your install it. How you install your plasma TV can not only impact how comfortable you are while watching television but also the interior design of the room in which the TV is placed.
Instructions
Set Up Your New Plasma TV
1. Choose the best method for mounting your plasma TV based on the room in which you plan to install it. If you have a flat surface available that will place the plasma TV at an appropriate height for viewing, a plasma stand may be appropriate. If you want to hang the plasma TV on your wall, you will need to purchase and install a wall mount.
2. Install the plasma TV in the method you chose in Step 1. With either method, you should work with at least one other person to install your plasma TV because of its large size and weight.
3. Connect your TV to an electrical outlet. If you have mounted your plasma TV on a wall, you can plug the electrical cord into an outlet inside the wall. If your plasma TV is on a desktop stand, you can plug it directly into the wall or use a power strip to provide additional electrical outlets for other devices.
4. Connect your audio and video sources to your plasma television. If you are hiding the cables behind your wall, be certain that you have purchased cables that are long enough to reach from your video sources to your TV. Since TVs have a limited number of connections available, you may need to plan carefully when choosing a connection type for each device.
5. Calibrate the picture on your plasma TV after you install it. Adjusting the brightness and contrast settings can help you to preserve the longevity of your plasma TV. Many plasma TVs have preset options from which you can choose, based on the lighting conditions and video source that you watch most often.
