" If your TV is between 12 and 42 inches and weighs fewer than 40 pounds, the OmniMount is a universal mount the installs in 3 simple steps, with or without studs. Step 1: Attach the Spacers  Flip your TV over. Attach the panel spacers to the 4 mounting holes on the back of the TV using the supplied screws. Step 2: Decide on the Placement  Once you&amp;#039;ve decided on the TV&amp;#039;s placement, tack the template to the wall using the included tacks and check a bubble level to make sure it&amp;#039;s straight. Use the supplied drill bit to create pilot holes in the wall bracket. Step 3: Mount the TV  While OmniMount instructions say to push the wall anchors through the brackets and screw them in tight, I found that the TV slides in more easily if you put the wall anchors behind the four wall brackets first, then screw them in. Now remove the template.  Grab the TV, line up the spacers to the wall brackets and push it down into place. Connect your cables and plug in the television. Hide the wires using Omnimounts CMK Cable Management kit. Slide the plug and wires through the channel snap on the covers and paint it blend it in to the wall.  Step 4: For Larger Televisions  For larger televisions the process is slightly more involved. First, choose a quality mount: stay far away from those inexpensive no-name brands. For example, I once used a cheaply constructed cantilever mount for a 47-inch TV. That mount is now stuck in the tilt position and squeaks whenever I reposition it; it&amp;#039;s a wrestling match pushing it back against the wall.  Since I trust OmniMount for a larger television, I installed the company&amp;#039;s monstrous, well-constructed motorized mount the Power55. It comes with a programmable remote so you can reposition the mount while lying on the couch. The motor is near silent when it pans left, right or tilts down. And always goes right back in place when you want it to. Plus, at rest is less than 3 inches from the wall.  Step 5: Decide on the Placement  The template OmniMount provides another easy install. I substituted 9 snaptoggles instead of the 4 provided wall anchors to cleat this beast to the wall. Decide on the placement for the TV, using a long level, tape measure and a stud finder. (Sadly, my studs were 11&amp;quot; from where I wanted it.)  When the measurements are marked on the wall, stick OmniMounts template along the pen lines again verify that its level.  Step 6: Install the Anchors  Mark out 9 spots for the wall anchors. Drill 1/2&amp;quot; diameter hole for each. Push the metal side of the toggle through hole. Hold the ends of straps and pull toward you until it&amp;#039;s tight behind wall. Slide the plastic cap along straps until its flush with the wall. Snap off the straps at the base of the wall. Do this 9 times.  Step 7: Mount the Bracket  Here&amp;#039;s where an extra pair of hands is necessary. Have someone line up the TV mount over the anchors. Insert a lock washer through bracket into the anchors and tighten until (almost) flush. Repeat for each hole in TV mount bracket. When they are all in place put the level on the mount and keep the bubble centered as you tighten each screw.  Step 8: Hang the TV  On the back of the TV, install the universal rails with the four provided screws and slide on the rail covers. You&amp;#039;re ready to hang the TV. I confess on this one I was a afraid that my $3000 TV was going to fall and be smashed into (3000) pieces; I needed some way to test the strength of the mount. I needed something heavy, so I hung on it. I know its a bit over the top but since I weight 160 pounds and it didn&amp;#039;t budge\u2014my far-lighter TV isn&amp;#039;t going anywhere.  Finally, lift and hang the TV on the mount and tighten the locking screw. Connect the wires, plugs and receiver. You&amp;#039;re done! Take a break and watch a movie.
