Flat-Screen TV Wall Mounts
Thin is in!
Flat-screen televisions are some of the most-enjoyed benefits of our new-age technology. They require little or no maintenance, and are capable of high-level performance when it comes to a variety of audio-visual functions. Some can even be fitted with fireplace inserts that allow them to transform into actual heat-producing fireplaces. Wall-mounting technology has made certain locations practical today that would have been unheard of just 10 years ago. Freeing valuable floor space, eliminating that messy collection of cables and power cords, and providing an improved viewing angle, are all reasons why many people choose wall mounts as the best solution for their flat-screen TV placement.
Three Tight Fits
Flat-screen television wall mounts are available in several styles, but most employ a bracket design to keep your screen securely mounted. Listed below are the most common types of flat-panel wall mounts.
The flat mount is most basic kind of flat-screen TV wall mount. There are actually several types of "flat-screen" mounts:
- Simple flat mounts are purchased according to the dimensions and weight of your flat-screen television. They are best suited for mountings not much higher than standing eye level. Most are constructed with adjustable wall brackets that can be moved horizontally for proper stud alignment, as well as TV brackets that attach to the back of your flat screen
- Tilting flat mounts are basically the same as flat mounts, except most of these models allow for up to 35 degrees of tilt. Tilt mounts are ideal for higher mountings. They allow you to tilt your television downwards and avoid the screen distortion that occurs when flat screens are viewed from too severe an angle.
- Swivel and articulated flat mounts extend out from the wall can enable screens to be adjusted horizontally up to 180 degrees, as well as up to 35 degrees of vertical tilt.
