The best TV wall mount is one rated above your TV’s weight, matching its VESA hole pattern and fixed into the wall behind it: fixed if you watch from one spot, tilt if the TV sits above eye level, full-motion if it must turn toward different seats. Pixl supplies fixed ($70), tilt ($80) and full-motion ($125) mounts, or hangs the one you bought. Labour is $79.99 to $189.99 by TV size, before tax, and you pay after the job.

- Fixed, tilt and full-motion compared
- Weight, VESA and leverage explained
- Mount and total by TV size
- Wall types and Pixl surcharges
- Match three things: the TV’s weight, its VESA pattern and the studs behind the wall.
- Fixed is simplest, tilt suits a high TV and full-motion adds reach.
- A fully extended arm loads the wall plate 12 times as hard as a mount 2 in. out (calculated).
- Bring your own mount for $0, or have Pixl supply one at $70, $80 or $125.
You are choosing a mount for a TV and want a checklist and a price in one place.
You want step-by-step instructions to hang it yourself. Read how to mount a TV on the wall. For a corner see the corner TV mount guide.
Which type of TV wall mount do you need?
The type follows how you watch. The table lists the three types with the mounts Pixl supplies. For more detail see fixed vs full-motion mounts.
| Mount | Pixl price | Suits | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed | $70 | TV at eye level, one seating spot, smallest gap to the wall | Cannot be adjusted after it is hung |
| Tilt | $80 | TV above eye level: over a dresser, a bed wall or a fireplace | Does not turn sideways |
| Full-motion | $125 | Corners, open-plan rooms, one TV for two seating areas | The arm acts as a lever, so the studs matter more |

How much weight and leverage can the wall take?
Pick a mount with a maximum load above the TV’s weight and leave some margin, because ratings assume a perfect install. The table shows the second effect: distance. Twisting load is weight times how far the TV sits from the wall, so a fully extended arm loads the wall plate 12 times as hard as a mount 2 in. out. Your mount’s spec sheet gives its real extension and rating.
| TV weight | 2 in. out (fixed or tilt) | 12 in. out (arm partly extended) | 24 in. out (arm fully extended) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 lb | 50 | 300 | 600 |
| 40 lb | 80 | 480 | 960 |
| 60 lb | 120 | 720 | 1,440 |
| 90 lb | 180 | 1,080 | 2,160 |
What does the wall behind the mount change?
Wood studs in Canadian homes are most often 16 in. or 24 in. apart on centre, as the Canadian Wood Council lists them. The wall plate should reach two studs. Other walls change the bolts, and some change the price.
| Wall | What the mount needs | Pixl surcharge |
|---|---|---|
| Drywall over wood studs | Lag bolts into two studs | None |
| Plaster over lath (older homes) | Bolts long enough to reach the stud behind the plaster | +$10 |
| Drywall over metal studs (many condos) | Heavy-duty toggle bolts rated for metal | +$15 |
| Concrete, tile or stone | Masonry anchors | +$50 |
| Brick | Masonry anchors and a drill bit for brick | +$80 |
| Above a fireplace | A mount that tilts, and heat checked | +$20 |
What mount do you need for your TV size?
Screen size is only a start, because weight and VESA decide compatibility. Use it to narrow the type and to see the Pixl total.
| TV size | TV width | Pixl labour | Usual choice | Total with $80 tilt mount | Total with $125 full-motion mount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 in. | 20.9 in. | $79.99 | Fixed, or a small full-motion arm | $159.99 | $204.99 |
| 32 in. | 27.9 in. | $99.99 | Fixed or tilt | $179.99 | $224.99 |
| 43 in. | 37.5 in. | $99.99 | Fixed or tilt | $179.99 | $224.99 |
| 55 in. | 47.9 in. | $99.99 | Tilt | $179.99 | $224.99 |
| 65 in. | 56.7 in. | $109.99 | Tilt or full-motion | $189.99 | $234.99 |
| 75 in. | 65.4 in. | $109.99 | Full-motion on two studs, or tilt | $189.99 | $234.99 |
| 85 in. | 74.1 in. | $149.99 | Heavy-duty mount; send the model so we confirm the wall | $229.99 | $274.99 |
How do you check that a mount fits?
- Find the TV’s weight. It is on the spec sheet or the box. Use the weight without the stand, plus anything else that hangs on the mount.
- Find the VESA pattern. The hole spacing on the back, in millimetres. See the VESA chart.
- Pick the type. Fixed, tilt or full-motion from the first table.
- Check the wall. Studs, plaster, metal studs or masonry decide the bolts and the price.
- Check the clearances. Leave room for HDMI plugs to bend behind the TV and for the outlet position.
Not sure it fits your TV?
Send the TV model and a photo. We tell you the mount and the total before you book.

Best TV wall mount in Canada: frequently asked questions
What is the best TV wall mount?
One rated above your TV’s weight, matching its VESA pattern and fixed into the studs. Choose fixed for one seat, tilt for a high TV, full-motion to turn it.
Fixed or full-motion: which should I buy?
Fixed if you always watch from one spot, which is simplest and sits flattest. Full-motion if the TV must turn, such as in a corner. It costs more and loads the wall harder.
What size mount for a 65 inch TV?
The mount is matched to weight and VESA, not screen size. Most 65 in. TVs suit a tilt or full-motion mount rated above the TV’s weight.
How do I know if a mount fits my TV?
Check that the VESA pattern on the back of the TV is listed by the mount, and that the mount’s maximum load is above the TV’s weight.
How much weight can a TV mount hold?
Whatever its spec sheet says, with the rating applying only to a correct install. Leave margin, and remember the wall and anchors set the real limit.
Can I use my own mount?
Yes, at $0 for the mount line, if it fits the TV’s weight and VESA pattern. You pay the labour for your TV size.
Do I need studs for a TV mount?
Wood or metal studs, or masonry anchors, are needed for a TV of any real size. See mounting without studs for what is and is not safe.
How much does Pixl charge?
Labour from $79.99 by TV size plus a mount at $70, $80 or $125, before tax. A 55 in. TV on a tilt mount is $179.99. Same-day service is available when we have an opening.

Sources and method. Twisting load = TV weight (lb) × distance from the wall to the TV’s centre (in.), static, ignoring the mount’s own weight; for 40 lb, 40 × 2 = 80 and 40 × 24 = 960 lb-in., a 12-fold difference. The distances are examples; read your mount’s spec sheet for its extension and rating. Stud spacing of 16 in. and 24 in. on centre as listed by the Canadian Wood Council. Pixl prices are posted prices checked October 31, 2026; example: 99.99 + 80 = 179.99. Surcharges are from the Pixl TV mounting form.
