When you want a truly immersive viewing experience, bigger isn't just better—it's transformative. An 86-inch TV is a statement piece, and it demands professional installation to maximize impact. The Mounting Man recently completed a stunning 86-inch installation in Minnetonka that showcases why size, precision, and the right bracket choice make all the difference.

Recent Minnetonka Large-Format Installation

We just finished mounting an 86-inch TV in a Minnetonka home using a tilt bracket—the perfect choice for large-format displays. At this size, viewing angles matter significantly, and a quality tilt mount allows homeowners to adjust the screen to eliminate glare and achieve the optimal viewing angle from different parts of the room.

The installation required careful planning. An 86-inch TV is heavy and demands secure anchoring to wall studs. We located the studs precisely, used commercial-grade mounting hardware, and ensured the bracket could handle the weight safely. The result is a rock-solid installation that feels as permanent and secure as the day it was mounted.

The homeowners made a smart budget decision by handling the cord concealment themselves after installation—keeping costs down while maintaining that clean, professional appearance. The tilt adjustment capability gives them flexibility to position the screen perfectly for comfort, whether they're watching from the couch, a recliner, or different areas of the room.

Large-Format TV Mounting: Technical Considerations

Mounting an 86-inch TV isn't a casual DIY project. The sheer size and weight require several critical considerations. First, stud location is non-negotiable—we use precision stud finders to locate wall framing, then verify with additional methods before drilling. Second, the bracket must be rated for the TV's weight and mounted securely into the studs themselves. Third, cable routing becomes more complex with larger screens, requiring careful planning to keep everything looking clean and professional.

Tilt brackets are particularly popular for large-format installations because they solve a common problem: large screens can create viewing angles that work well from straight-on but become uncomfortable from other positions. A quality tilt mount solves this elegantly, allowing homeowners to adjust the display angle for optimal comfort throughout the room.
