You’ve bought the large flat screen TV that you wanted. The tricky part is over. But now the real challenge begins: choosing the top rated tv mount. You’ve probably tried to hang a picture on the wall crooked. This is a small task in comparison to the mounting of a television that goes wrong. We’ll dive in together and see what we can discover!
Let’s first chew on the details of the TV wall mounting. Imagine it as a trusty old toaster. It’s not fancy, but it does the job. This mount will hold your TV flush to the wall if you prefer a clean, simple lifestyle. This mount is like a moving picture framed in a frame. One downside? There’s no way to channel your inner Picasso by changing the angle. It’s fixed.
The tilting mount is perfect for people who want a little more room. Imagine you’re stuck with your neck awkwardly craned in a movie theatre, and that heads are blocking the view. Annoying, right? You can adjust the view of your mount vertically. It’s like switching to a new seat at a cinema. The mount does not need to be moved. This mount is perfect for those TVs that are placed high above the fireplace. Nothing says coziness more than a Netflix binge-fest without shoulder pain.
The full motion TV mount is also called the articulating mounting mount. This is the gymnast among TV mounts. The arm can be extended for closer proximity or pivot the TV like it was doing morning stretching. The open-plan kitchen and living area can be blurred by this beast. These mounts allow you to cook pasta and watch the latest show at the same time.
Before you grab the toolbox and start grabbing all of your enthusiasm, I’d like to add my 2 cents. Be sure to know the weight of your TV! It’s like trying to squeeze into shoes that are two sizes too big. Double-check that the wall is strong enough to hold such an amazing piece. Drywall is as grumpy as an angry teenager in a no-Wifi zone when it’s asked to support heavy weights. If you don’t want unplanned renovations, use studs and wall anchors.
It’s not enough to throw darts and choose any mount. Size is also important. A 60-inch mount on an 80-inch television is like shadows in the sun. It will disappear. Mounts should be sized according to the VESA of the TV and its overall dimensions, like wine with cheese.
Don’t blindfold yourself if you are a DIY hero who is ready to install this masterpiece. It may not be your idea of a fun Saturday night, but reading the instructions is cheaper than buying a new television because the old one crashed. While you tackle this wall mounting project, be sure to listen (or even two ears) to your companions.
It’s like preparing for a race. You prepare your workspace, set your tools up and mentally warm up before you begin. But don’t lose heart! You will smile, you will cheer, you will sit down on your couch with the comfy armrests. Grab a bowl of popcorn, sit back and enjoy the show. It might have taken a while to get there, but it will be well worth the effort!
