A TV bracket that just hooks over a single fixing bar – which is perfectly suitable for wall mounted installations will not be suitable for this task as there will be nothing supporting the bottom of the TV. You will need a bracket that fixes in place with some, ideally not just one that clicks in place but when we an additional locking bar/ screws need to be inserted. If you want to do this you will need to be extra vigilant with the TV wall bracket that you purchase.

I’m not sure that I could ever get a good nights sleep with a TV directly above my head but I imagine that this would provide a better lying position for your posture, but you may want to consult a professional on that. It sounds strange but if you’re lying on your back in bed the TV could be mounted directly above so that it’s horizontally fixed to the ceiling. You can also get brackets that allow the TV to be tilted if were watching TV in a more horizontal position like in bed.Īlternatively and something I have seen done on many occasions when attending call-outs is you could use a TV wall bracket and mount this to the ceiling.

You can get some models that allow two TV/ monitors to be installed back to back to each-other – perfect for restaurants, pubs etc. There are a wide variety of brackets on the market for this task and as always I recommend Sanus as being a brand that I’m happy to recommend. The size of your TV will affect the size/ cost of the bracket you need and I would strongly advise erring on the side of caution. The great thing about these types of brackets is that they can be mounted anywhere in a room, it doesn’t need to be near a wall. If you want your TV to be angled like it would normally be if mounted to the wall, at a right angle to the floor then a bracket with a vertically mounted section that your TV clamps onto would be the perfect choice.

There are a couple of different types of mounts you could use for this task, I would recommend getting a bracket that is specially designed for the task. Things that I have identified for your consideration are, what TV bracket are you going to use? What fixings are you going to use so that it’s safe and how are you going to get the cables to the TV? Most importantly getting safe, secure fixings so that the TV doesn’t fall off the ceiling and take a chunk of your ceiling with it. The answer the question, can I mount my TV on my ceiling? is yes, but there are a few things to consider before you do this. In the blog I discuss whether this is possible along with some installation tips & advice.

If you’re short of places to mount your TV, you may be wondering is it possible to mount my TV to the ceiling.
