Wall mount your Vizio television to create more living space.

Wall mounting a Vizio flat-screen television provides a solution to create extra living space in a family room. Either get rid of the table the Vizio television was sitting on, or use that space for decoration. Wall mounting a Vizio flat-screen television also lifts an expensive television out of the reach of small children, flying objects, pets and rowdy friends at any parties you host.

Hang Wall Bracket

Step 1

Locate a spot on the wall where you want to hang the Vizio flat-screen television. Use a stud finder to find two studs in the area. The studs should be between 12 and 16 inches apart. Once you locate the studs, use a small finishing nail to poke holes through the drywall into each stud until you locate the center. Using a ruler, draw a vertical six-inch line that represents the center of the stud.
