subject: Use The Right Type Of Television Mounting Device To Install Your Hdtv On The Wall [print this page] Most of the televisions nowadays need mounting devices so they stay fixed on the wall, above a fireplace or other locations in your room. It is up to you how you want to mount your TV: fixed on the wall, or allowing it to tilt horizontally and/or vertically, all is possible provided you bought the proper mounting brackets for your particular TV set.
Don't buy a TV mounting device before you've read this article, as you might end up buying the wrong one for your type of TV.
The low profile mounts - these are also called flush mount brackets. They are maybe the cheapest types out there are the easiest to install. These devices will hold your TV fixed to the wall allowing no movement whatsoever. Think of these as hanging your painting on the wall, they have the very same effect.
The tilting wall mounts are an upgrade from the flush mounts as they allow some flexibility, albeit only a limited one. You can actually tilt your television up to 20 degrees up or down. The price for this mount is a bit higher than the previous one, but it's still cheap enough. Also installing this is just a bit more complex than installing the flush mount on the wall. The problem with this is that if you want to watch your TV at an angle, this is quite impossible with this mounting device.
The swivel mount bracket is the one that most homeowners have when they want to have the full flexibility of moving the television in any direction possible. When it comes to price, this usually costs about 3 times more than the previous two models, however this is also the most sophisticated and good looking from all types. When it comes, however, to installing it, you might need the help of a family member or friend as it's not so easy to install it on your own on the wall. But you are not limited in movement at all when it comes to installing the TV using this mounting device type.
