To calculate the proper viewing distance, take your TV's size and divide it by .55. For instance, the recommended distance to sit away from a 60-inch TV would be 109 inches. If you have less space than that, you'll want a smaller TV. In cramped environments, bigger is not always better.
Your TV is heavy, and the wall you choose for mounting must be able to support it. Your wall mount should be attached to a stud. In most cases, this won't be a problem, but depending on the house, you may find that the space between studs makes it difficult to mount a TV. If you don't attach the mount to a stud, you can use drywall anchors (toggle bolts), but you need to make sure the wall can hold the weight of the TV.
We do not recommend mounting your TV over a fireplace. Your primary concern will be the heat; Samsung TVs should never exceed 104°F. Before you even think of mounting a TV above your fireplace, light a fire and check the temperature first.
If you have a wood-burning fireplaces, ash could accumulate on the TV and its vents. You may be cleaning the TV much more often because of it.
Also keep in mind that if you mount your TV above a fireplace, it will be well above eye level when you're sitting down. Consider getting a mount that can be angled to make it easier on your neck.
And finally, don't forget about your devices. Do you really want a cable box, game console, or Roku sitting on your mantle next to your family photos?
In general, you should not put your Samsung TV in extremely hot, cold, humid, or dusty places. We recommend that you do not install your Samsung TV in a bathroom or any other room with high humidity.
If you're only going to connect your TV to Wi-Fi and stream content, you just have to worry about the power cord. If you want to connect any external devices, you'll need a plan to corral that mass of cords hanging from the TV.
Many of our TVs have a One Connect box that connects devices to the TV with one very small wire. For everything else, consider getting some in-wall rated cables and a kit that allows you to run all your cords through the wall to your devices.
Height may be the most important thing to consider when you mount your TV. First, think about the room itself. Is the TV going in your living room, a home bar, or a game room? If you are going to be watching from bar stools, then it needs to be mounted high enough for comfortable viewing from that height. But if you'll be standing around a pool table and watching TV, you'll want to mount it even higher since you will watch it primarily while standing. You may also want the option to angle it down, if you decide to sit.

These are the tools you'll need, with links to suggested examples:
There are many different wall mount options available, but as long as you follow the instructions that come with your wall mount, and you're comfortable using common household tools (screwdriver, tape measure, drill, etc.), installing the wall mount should prove to be a fairly simple task. Of course, many hands make light work, so having a friend to assist you will really make mounting your TV a breeze.
When selecting a mounting kit, pay close attention to its depth. Samsung No Gap Wall Mounts, which are exclusively for the QLED or Frame TVs, allow it to fit snuggly to the wall but still leave enough room to ventilate the TV. They also allow for leveling the TV after it is mounted.
Samsung Mini Wall Mounts have a profile between 0.7 and 1.6 inches, which is enough to ventilate the TV without making its profile the center of attention in a small room. They also allow for leveling the TV after hanging and include a leg that you can use to angle the TV away from the wall for access to the connections.
The 2021 Frame TV includes a wall mount with two brackets that need to be attached to the wall at a specific distance depending on the screen size. This video shows you how to space the brackets and mark their location using a piece of cardboard.
