Small TVs, mounted properly
A 32 or 40-inch TV weighs so little that people hang it like a picture, on whatever anchor is in the drawer. It usually stays up — until someone tugs it, swings it on an arm or a child pulls on the cable. We mount small screens the same way as large ones: into studs or masonry, level, with the cables dealt with.
Small TVs also go in rooms with their own rules: kitchens where you watch standing, bedrooms where you watch lying down, offices where the screen doubles as a monitor. Labor for screens up to 42 inches is $94.

Questions about small TV mounting (up to 42″)
Is it really necessary to hit a stud for a small TV?
For a fixed bracket and a very light screen, good toggles can be acceptable. On an arm, or anywhere children can reach, we go into a stud.
Can you mount a computer monitor?
Yes, if it has VESA holes on the back. Most use the 75 or 100 mm pattern.
Can it go under a kitchen cabinet?
With a fold-down mount that you supply, fixed into the cabinet’s frame. Tell us the model in the notes.
