Learn How To Choose A TV Wall Mount

By Charlotte Sims

It is important to choose the right wall mount for your new television if you want to enjoy your home theater experience as much as possible. However, that can be difficult sometimes if you aren't savvy in knowing the ins and outs of mounting screens to your wall or ceiling for proper viewing. Here are a few pointers that can help you choose the best one for your situation.

Before looking for mounts, it's important that you first decide what viewing angles you will want in relation to the room where you plan on mounting your TV. Since there are several types of mounts, you can either attach one to the wall or the ceiling. Keep in mind, however, that the arm mount and the wall mount are the two basic types of mounting mechanisms.

Also, it's important to know the dimensions and weight of your television itself. Mounts and brackets are designed to hold different screen weights and there are particular mounts that fit specific sizes and weights. Your TV manual can usually provide the basic information you will need to help you determine the weight limit of any mount you choose.

A third thing you should do is to determine what type of features you want in a mount. Some swivel, some are rather stationary and others tilt. For example, a swivel arm mount can offer many, many different viewing angles, perhaps more than any other type of mount.

Price is a major consideration when comparing types of wall mounts for TVs. The television's weight, size, and brand, as well as the type of viewing angles you want, all must be considered when choosing a mount. One tip to remember is that a good quality TV mount is an important investment in protecting your expensive TV as well as providing for your best viewing pleasure.
