Determining the location of the TV
After the Monitor Plate (MP) has been mounted to the TV, you can now measure the distance from the bracket holes to the top and bottom of the TV to help determine the desired height of the TV on your wall. The reason that you need to take these measurements is because many monitors do not have the mounting location centered on the back of the monitor. To determine the exact height you want to mount the brackets, use the convenient Installation Template (IT) rather than holding the TV in place while you do all this measuring. Always make sure to use a level when placing the template. Measure from the floor up as shown in Figure 5, and using a pencil, make small marks on the wall to help you determine the desired TV height.
