You need to locate either two studs or three studs, depending on the size of your TV. To
determine whether you need two studs or three, simply refer to how you positioned the
wall plate extensions in the previous step. If you extended the wall plate into or past the
third expansion slot, you need to mount to three studs. If you did not extend your
bracket at all, or extended it less than three slots, you can mount into only two studs.
Next line up the Installation Template (IT) with your pencil markings and tape it into place.

Determining the location of the TV
After the Monitor Arms (MA) have been attached to the TV, measure the distance from
the center of the monitor arms 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 TVs do not have the mounting location centered on the
back of the monitor. To determine the exact height you want to mount the Wall Plate
(WP), 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 8, and using a pencil, make small marks on
the wall to help you determine the desired TV height.
