Flat screen TVs are the norm in the electronics and entertainment industry, and with the cost of these advanced pieces of equipment becoming lower, more and more people are bringing multiple units into their homes. While having several flat screen TVs in your home means you have access to a tremendous variety of entertainment at any given time, it also presents you with the challenge of where to place these TVs so they are safe, secure, and in the prime location for best viewing.
Getting the most out of your flat screen TV means proper wall mounting. Use these tips to help you mount your flat screen TV in the way that is best for your home and your viewing preferences:
- Understand your TV. The first thing to ask yourself when considering a wall mount for your flat screen TV is whether your television can even be mounted on the wall. Though it is uncommon in most of the newer models of LCD and plasma televisions, some flat screen TVs are designed specifically for tabletop use rather than for mounting on the wall. This does not mean you have the option of putting it on a table, but that you have to put it on a table. The television features a design and weight that makes it impossible to actually mount it securely. Look for the words VESA compatible on the side of the box to ensure it is designed for mounting. Video Electronics Standards Association, or VESA, simply means that TV is compatible with all standard mounts
- Choose the best location. When it comes to choosing a wall mount, flat screen TV owners know that properly positioning a TV is not just about the mount itself, but about where the TV is mounted. Before you mount your TV, make sure you choose the ideal location within your room so that the TV is in the perfect position for clear viewing. Take some time to move around the room, sitting in different places and different positions so you can identify the place where you are most comfortable looking. That is where you should put your TV
- Choose the mount that is right for your TV. When selecting a mount for your television, it is important to choose the one that is right for your particular unit. Not all television wall mounts are created alike and choosing the wrong one could result in your TV falling off the wall and getting destroyed. As you compare options make sure you know the exact size of your TV, including its measurements and its weight. Remember that televisions are not measured horizontally or vertically, but rather diagonally. This means that you need to know how many inches your television measures from the upper left corner to the lower right corner
- Decide on versatility. You may have one favorite spot where you like to sit to watch TV, but what happens when there are people visiting, when you change up your spot, or when you sit down to watch TV at a different time of day and the glare from the sun impacts the visual appeal of your TV? In some rooms, a stationary flat TV wall mount is the most appropriate option because it is space-conscious and ensures the TV is placed in the optimum location for viewing. In other situations, however, being able to adjust the positioning and angle of the TV promotes clear viewing when conditions change or if you sit in a different spot in the room. Choosing motorized TV brackets gives you the flexibility of adjusting the angle of the TV to meet your needs at any given moment. Because the brackets are motorized, you can change the angle at the simple touch of a button.
