Hey that's great! You just bought yourself a new plasma or LCD TV, and now you need to decide how you're going to mount it or stand it. If you are thinking about mounting it, the question becomes, "which wall TV mount should I use?" There are countless types of wall TV mounts. Here are just a few to choose from: the adjustable tilt TV mount, the dual-arm articulating wall mount, and the swivel wall TV mount. These are far and away the most widespread types of wall mounts that people choose.
There are two core items to focus on when weighing the diverse types of wall TV mounts available to you, the first is, where are you planning to mount your television and secondly, how are you going to use it? By using it, I mean do you need to be able to move the angle of the screen vertically or horizontally for enhanced or varied viewing?
Will you be mounting it in your living room, entertainment room or bedroom? If your going to mount it in your bedroom, you may well want to be able to adjust the angle of the screen for better viewing while lying down on your bed. If you'll be mounting your new television in your living room or entertainment room at a fixed height and angle then a standard non-tilting less expensive mount will do the job. The wall TV mounts that are more pricey offer the most options.
Your product or owners instruction manual that comes with your new television should have information and recommendations for a television mount. After reading your owners manual, if it doesn't just propose one, it should furnish you the specs for a compatible wall mount. The data you should attain is the width, height, length, and weight of your set. Before you start seeking a mount, make sure you have all of these specifics. These are fundamental things to know.
You should know that most wall TV mounts will accommodate a range of sizes of televisions. Some mounts can hold a 32" to 60" TV set. Keep that in mind in case you decide to move up to a larger size television in the future. Most likely the most important consideration of all is the wall you will be using. Be sure the wall you are planning to use is structurally sound and can maintain the shared weight of the TV and wall TV mount. If you're uncertain of the durability of the wall you want to use, you can always hire a professional contractor to survey the wall and perhaps even do the mounting installation.
