subject: A Brief Description Of The Different Types Of Wall Mounts [print this page] If you are in the market for a wall mount for your television but you also have budget constraints to take care of, there is no need to fret. Wall mounts that are fixed and do not come with additional features such as tilting screens and full-motions are available within decent budgets and are perfect for wall mounting your television sets.
However low budget wall mounts comes with its inherent disadvantages. For instance, once the television is placed on the wall mount, they cannot be moved in any direction and remain fixed in their position.
A tilting wall mount can be installed with the same ease as a low cost wall mount. The only difference is in their ability to offer you better viewing facility because of its ability to adjust vertical viewing angle. This is made possible because of the presence of a pivot in the middle of the installation bracket. It makes viewing possible from any angle, a feature sorely missed in the fixed type wall mount.
If you are looking for something beyond just vertical tilting then there is the full motion wall mount that you can consider buying. This gives you the additional advantage of horizontal swivel or tilt. They are the most expensive wall mounts that are currently available. They have the ability to move the television across any angles and the screen can be viewed from any corner of the room with relative ease.
While they are expensive, the full- motion wall mounts are also the most difficult ones to install. This is because the mounting brackets have moving parts in the form of an arm which facilitates in the full motion of the wall mount. At least two to three helping hands are required to install this model and secure the television on the mount.
The key difference between a full motion wall mount and a tilted wall mount is that the former has wall mounted brackets that helps you adjust the angle of the television for better horizontal viewing by moving the television away from the wall and swiveling it on its axis.
As they offer better flexibility, they are the preferred model among all types of wall mounts for television sets. All wall mounts are made of heavy duty metals and are sturdy enough to easily put up with their designed load bearing capacity. It is always better to buy established brand of wall mounts to get the best value for your money.
