Would it be advisible to put my 37 in tv on the wall?
Answer:
I put a 37-inch in our bedroom. It's great, and it's up high where we can see it laying down.
As others said, be sure there is no danger of water damage to the wall, or dripping on the TV.
Yes, the mount can be expensive. Find out how heavy your TV is (weigh yourself of the scale with and without the TV...). In my case, the foot - which unbolts from the back if you want to hang it - weighed about 20 pounds itself, so take it off first.
Get a hanging bracket that can hold the weight. they are not cheap. The best will bolt to 2 different studs; the one I used consist of several parallel bars and the hooks that bolt to the back of the TV. the parts that bolt to the wall also slide on these bars to line up with the wood studs. Mine also has a funny-shaped rod that you stick in and turn to lock the TV down so it's hard to steal.
Definitely, with TVs of around 50 pounds, you want to be sure it's well anchored into the wood studs behind the drywall. if you don't have a stud-finder, look at the drywall to see if you can find the nails covered with plaster. Use nice long screws -I used about 3-inches; it's gotta go through 1/2-inch drywall first, and its gotta hold a lot. And be sure the studs don't have condesation or water damage problems, or the screws won't hold well.
If you put up a heavy TV with just the drywall holding it, and it will rip up the drywall, then fall and destroy itself.
When you're ready to mount, have a friend help; be careful. You don't want to hurt the front screen, it's fragile!
I have 42 on my wall, and it is doing just fine. It really makes the room seem bigger as well.
Make sure the wall has been fully waterproofed and that there is no chance of water damge to the TV. If you can answer yes to that then you should definately hang it up on the wall.
Is this a flat panel? Then yes, but the wall mounts can be a little expensive. Like up to $200.
check out getting a PROJECTOR i have found out thats a FANTASTIC way to have a big screen flat tv without the cost!
Anon has you pretty well covered, I would like to add a little, There is a company (Petra) who offers various hanging hardwares and the cost should be appx 80 dollars, these come with lots of hardware (bolts) so be careful not to select bolts that are too long, this accident would fatally damage the screen. The concerns about moisture are justified so if you have masonry walls be sure they are dry and solid, you wouldn't want to create a moisture inlet. A 37" is not too big so the weight issue should be easily addressed.
The one thing I would strongly discourage is hanging it over a fireplace unless it can be protected from the rising heat, Most warranties will be voided in this case.
Have Fun.
