Mounting your TV on the wall is one of the easiest ways to save space and give your room a clean, modern look. But with so many types of mounts available, how do you know which one is best for you? Here’s a quick guide to help you make the right choice.
1. Fixed Mounts – Sleek and Simple
A fixed mount keeps your TV flat against the wall—perfect for rooms where you’ll always watch from the same position. It’s the most affordable option and offers a slim, tidy profile.
Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, or any space where the viewing angle won’t change.
2. Tilting Mounts – For Flexible Viewing
A tilting mount allows you to angle your TV up or down. This is great if you’re mounting above eye level, such as above a fireplace or in a bedroom.
Best for: Reducing glare and improving comfort when watching from different heights.
3. Full-Motion Mounts – The Ultimate in Flexibility
A full-motion (articulating) mount lets you pull the TV away from the wall, swivel it left or right, and tilt it up or down. It’s ideal for open-concept spaces or large rooms where people watch from different angles.
Best for: Living rooms, large open areas, or corner installations.
4. Safety and Installation Tips
-
Always use studs or concrete anchors when mounting your TV.
-
Double-check the VESA pattern (the hole spacing on the back of your TV).
-
If you’re not confident with tools, hire a professional installer to ensure your TV is level and secure.
