Select the desired height for the television and with a pencil mark the position on the wall where the mounting bracket will be bolted through the wall into the studs.
Input the equation into your calculator. Use the smaller measurement of the two walls as both the A and B measurements. For example, if the smaller measurement is 20 inches, you want to input 20 squared (or 20 x 20) plus 20 squared (or 20 x 20). Once you have the answer (in this case it is 800), find the square root of the number and you will have the size, in inches, your TV must be smaller than in order to fit onto a TV stand (in this case it is about 28 inches).
The corners can be a useful place to locate your hardware, as it utilizes an area of your room that is often wasted – and placing your equipment along a wall can often encroach too far into your living space.
Be sure that the corner wall-mount bracket and hardware are sufficiently rated to hold your particular television. A flat-screen TV set weighing more than 125 pounds should be mounted with a dual-arm bracket. Smaller sets can be wall-mounted using a single-arm bracket.
Be careful with the enclosed corner TV cabinet and make sure AV components will receive adequate ventilation. A removable back panel will be a major advantage in this situation – and the addition of a proper ventilation system is even more advantageous.
Some corner TV stands are angular, while others are rounded. Rounded corner TV stands are much safer in households with pets or children as the sharp edges of more angular designs could be potentially dangerous.
Drill holes for the mounting bracket into the studs following the wall markings as a guide. Use wall anchors if studs are not located in the corner where the TV will be installed, but be certain the wall construction is sufficient to support the television. Wood paneling, for example, may not be strong enough to support the set without splitting or cracking.
