Samsung TV Stand Screws

Secure Your Samsung TV With The Right Mounting Screws

Your new Samsung TV should be purchased with all the necessary mounting tools that you need. However, if you are moving your TV from plaster to drywall you will need the right mounting screws to secure it firmly. There are myriad Samsung TV stand screws available on eBay, and this guide ensures you pick out the right ones for your TV stand.

Size is a paramount aspect when assessing the right mounting screws for your Samsung TV. Screws are made in different sizes depending on the stand they hold in place. Important dimensions to pay attention to are the diameter of the screw as well as the length. This is often given in millimeters (mm) and will be denoted as M4XL12 to mean a screw with a diameter of 4mm and a length of 12mm, or simply M4 to mean a screw with a diameter of 4mm. Screws have sizes typically ranging from a diameter of 1.6 to 27mm and lengths ranging from 1.25 to 25mm. Figures may exceed the aforementioned dimensions for special configurations.

There are several factors that may guide your choice of mounting screws. These include the following:

• Screw size - Length, in particular, can be pertinent in deciding what screws to get. The length of the screws should be proportional to the depth of the TV stand.
• Rubber spacers - You may wish to purchase screws that come with spacers to allow for airflow behind the mounted TV so as to prevent overheating. This is especially important if you going to mount it in a hot room, such as a kitchen or above a furnace.
• TV weight - The size and weight of your Samsung TV will determine the size of screws you need. You may opt for large screws to mount a large TV in place without making it flimsy.
• Type of wall - From plaster to drywall, different screws are suitable for different walls. You want to ensure that the material does not crumble and the stand remains in place.

Mounting screws age with time and can become worn out. They also wear out when they are constantly unscrewed such as when changing the position of your TV. If you are purchasing pre-owned screws, ensure that your mounting configuration features a suitable number of screws to keep your TV stand firm. Furthermore, used screws are more likely to keep your structure steady if they are of a suitable length congruent to your TV stand.
