LCD and Plasma TVs have become a popular addition to many homes as they offer high definition images and audio for an optimal visual experience in your own home. While many consumers purchase specially customized pieces of furniture to place their TVs, wall mounts have grown to become a popular way to integrate your TV in your living room environment by freeing space and providing the best view possible for all family members and guests. When you are shopping for a LCD TV wall mount, there are three different categories to choose from that offer their own advantages as far as price, installation and functionality.
The first type is the low-profile LCD TV wall mount bracket. These low-profile brackets are the easiest to install and the most cost-effective alternative for those of you on a low budget. Low-profile brackets serve a purpose of getting the LCD screen as close to the wall as possible, similar to hanging a picture. This look is great for a seamless decor; however, these models do not offer special features such as tilting or full-motion ranges. Once the TV is installed, you will not be able to adjust the position, so it is important to make sure you like the positioning of the TV prior to installation. Also a factor to keep in mind, because the flat panel screen in directly on the wall, owners will typically have to removed the TV from the bracket to change audio and video cables.
The tilting wall mount for LCD TV are typically more expensive than the low-profile brackets, however, they offer their own advantages that brackets cannot. Aside from the price, the only real different between these two mounts are that tilting mounts allow the screen to be tilted either up or down for adjustable vertical viewing angles. This model will come with a pivot that is located in the middle of the installation bracket for the tilted effect. This means that if you are lying down, or perhaps standing up, you can watch your favorite program at the perfect angle.
The last type of LCD TV wall mount is the full-motion model. While these mounts are the most expensive of the three, they also offer the most advantages and viewing options. This wall mounting bracket has moving pieces in the design of an arm, which allow the flat panel to move up to 180 degrees horizontally and 45 degree vertically. While these are obviously the ideal choice for maximum viewing pleasure, they are quite difficult the install, so keep this in mind when making your purchase.
No matter which wall mounting device you feel is the right choice for you, you will be achieving your goal of freeing up living space by mounting your prized possession on the wall. You can find affordable, easy to install wall mounting brackets online or at your local electronics retailer.
