Yoselin's installation of a new screen on a shelf can involve several steps. Here's a general guide to help with the installation process:

### Materials Needed:
- TV or computer screen
- VESA mount (if applicable)
- Shelf (sturdy enough to hold the screen)
- Level
- Drill and drill bits
- Screws and anchors (if mounting)
- Screwdriver
- Measuring tape
- Stud finder (if mounting on the wall)

### Steps to Install the Screen:

1. **Choose the Location:**
- Determine where on the shelf you want to place the screen. Ensure it’s at a comfortable viewing height.

2. **Check Stability:**
- Ensure that the shelf is stable enough to support the weight of the screen. If using a wall-mounted shelf, confirm that the wall can bear the weight.

3. **Measure and Mark:**
- If you are mounting the screen or shelf, use a measuring tape to find the center point and mark it.

4. **Install VESA Mount (if applicable):**
- If the screen has a VESA mount, attach the VESA bracket to the back of the screen using the screws provided. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for this step.

5. **Mounting the Screen:**
- **On a wall:** Use a stud finder to locate wall studs for proper support. Drill holes and use screws and anchors to install the mounting bracket on the wall.
- **On the shelf:** If it’s a free-standing setup, simply place the screen on the shelf. Ensure it is centered and stable.

6. **Level the Screen:**
- Use a level to ensure the screen is straight. Adjust if necessary.

7. **Connect Cables:**
- Connect the necessary cables (power, HDMI, etc.) to the screen. Organize the cables to avoid clutter.

8. **Power On:**
- Plug the screen into a power source and turn it on to ensure everything is working correctly.

9. **Final Adjustments:**
- Adjust the angle or position as needed for optimal viewing.

### Safety Tips:
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.
- Use appropriate tools and safety gear when drilling or mounting.
- Ensure that all connections are secure to prevent accidents.
