TV Wall Mount

In case your living room is small, TV wall mounts become very essential. Nowadays, to save space, people are opting for TV wall mounts. In lieu of placing your TV on a stand or pedestal, small CRT or tube type televisions and even large flat panel TVs are mounted on the wall. The mounted TV creates a striking, ultra modern look while creating a theater-like experience in the home.

The rails are made to utilize pre-drilled holes in the rear of the display and they normally consist of two perpendicular arms with back-facing devices that connect to the wall plate. Once the rails and plate are installed, the TV can simply be placed on the wall plate.

Types of TV Wall Mounts

TV Wall Mount can be moved left or right across the length of the wall plate for centering purposes. For those who wish to change the angle, there are tilt TV wall mounts.

• Some tilt TV wall mounts work on a ratchet principle. Here, the tilt is adjusted by simply moving the display by hand to the desired angle.
  
  
• Another design includes tilt mounts with a tool that is required to change the angle.
  
  
• You have to purchase TV wall mount depending on whether your TV has a flat back or a small protruding modular "box" at the back. If you have the latter type of television, you will require a tilt TV wall mount. The standard wall mount will not allow for the box type TV, while the tilt holds the display far enough from the wall to accommodate it.
  
  
• For very large rooms, one might go for a ceiling mount. The ceiling mount consists of a small base with extended downward arm complete with tilt and pitch features. This allows the TV to be positioned within a furnished area that does not have walls close by.
  
  
• There are also wall mounts that allow a 90-degree swivel. This helps in watching the TV while lying on your side on the couch.
  
  
• Some TV wall mounts have "security features" which allow you to padlock the TV to the wall plate so that there is no chance of theft.

The TV wall mount not only saves valuable space in the home, but also keeps heavy appliances safely out of reach of children.
