There are detailed guidelines in the instruction (links to which can be found under the “Drawings & Manuals” tab above).

How’s the Artwork or Mirror work?
How’s the artwork installed? Install artwork or mirror in the picture frame just like a standard picture frame. Lay the artwork in the frame then use the supplied hardware to hold it in place.
When is the artwork installed? You can install or replace artwork (or mirror) anytime without disassembling the TV mount or removing the TV. So, you can install the TV mount and picture frame then decide on artwork later. Simply, detach the picture frame from the TV mount, insert or replace your artwork, then re-attach the picture frame.
What are my options?
OPTION 1: MIRROR
Order mirror from us: Click here to purchase a mirror from Hidden Vision. This option is the most simple in our opinion. The mirror will be sized to fit your order. It will be backed with commercial grade safety backing as well as a black border for aesthetics. The mirror will be shipped in its own box and can be ordered at any time.
Order mirror yourself from a local glass shop: If you choose to install a mirror from your local glass shop, it should be a 1/8 inch thick unless you talk to us first and order your TV mount with custom spring setting. The mirror should also be backed with a commercial grade safety backing. Find mirror dimensions for your model and picture frame listed below or in your instructions.
OPTION 2: Order a High-Quality Canvas print from Hidden Vision
You can order High-Quality canvas prints from us. Artwork ships separately and can be installed at any time after the TV and picture frame are installed so no need to rush a decision. We stretch our canvas prints over a rigid hardboard sized to fit your picture frame. The canvas will be coated with a UV protective Coating and the back is finished with a black border so not to be an eyesore when watching TV.
