The köşebent Awards: The Best, Worst, and Weirdest Things We've Seen

Are you looking for the appropriate LCD TV bracket to properly mount your TV on the wall? If so, then it is critical that you become familiar with the existing options. Different TV mounts are now widely sold in the market to cater the varying requirements and needs of users. That being said, it is really important that you are aware on the available choices. Doing so will allow you to spot the appropriate type.

Generally, there are three types of LCD wall TV brackets that you should consider. This includes the low profile wall mount, tilting wall mount, and full-motion or swiveling wall mount.

Low Profile LCD TV Mount

Among the three, this type is the easiest to install, and the least expensive. However, unlike the two other types of TV mounts, the low profile bracket cannot be adjusted once installed. It cannot be moved or tilted even if you want to. Due to its fixed installation, attaching or switching cables on the LCD TV can be a daunting task. Since there is no other way to tilt or move the LCD TV, you have no choice but to remove it from the wall when you need to replace or attach cables.

Tilting LCD Wall-Mount

This kind of TV bracket cost a little more compared to the low profile variety. In terms of functionality and use, it is very much comparable to the full motion wall mount. The level of difficulty of its installation is pretty much the same with the low profile. But the significant and most notable difference between the two TV brackets is the fact that a tilting TV bracket allows users to adjust the TV's vertical viewing angle, which is definitely an added advantage over the low profile mount.

The tilting wall mount is comprised of a pivot that is located at the middle of the bracket. This makes it possible for the bracket to keep an appropriate viewing angle, and also allows users to conveniently adjust the viewing angle of the mounted LCD TV.

Unlike with the low profile TV's bracket, attaching and removing cables on a tilting TV wall mount is much easier. But still, the tilting feature of this kind of TV bracket is quite limited as compared to the full motion TV mount.

Full Motion LCD TV Wall Mount As the name suggests, this type of LCD TV bracket offer full-motion tilting feature. The full motion TV wall mount is the most expensive type of bracket sold in the market. Moreover, it is also quite complicated to install. The full motion wall mount often include moving pieces, which function to allow the bracket to be adjusted vertically and horizontally. Normally, you would require 2-3 people to help you install the bracket properly. The arm adjoining the bracket to the wall allows it to be easily adjusted according to the viewing preference of the user.

A TV wall bracket is a specialized bracket meant for mounting television screens and displays on walls. A TV wall bracket and TV mount mean the same thing. A wall bracket is a devise that you attach to a wall to hold small or large items. When you consider hanging paintings in your home or putting shelves to hold small decorations, you need to deliberate on the brackets that will be used to hold up these objects. You need to determine if the wall mounts will be exposed or hidden obscurely behind the item. Exposed TV brackets should have some form of aesthetic design to make it conform to the overall decor of the room. Selecting TV mounts that will be exposed is difficult since your concern is not only the strength of the bracket but also its beauty and symmetry. TV brackets are normally made of metal and are screwed firmly to the wall. Designers often encourage homeowners to think vertically and to use wall space for extra storage or display. With the advent of flat panel TVs, people liked the concept of mounting televisions on walls. They envisioned the ambiance and atmosphere to be similar to the cinema but in the comforts of the home. Manufacturers of TV brackets introduced better models and types of TV mounts with varying features, such as swivel and tilt facilities.

The initial TV wall brackets may have been a simple bracket screwed onto the wall with slightly extended arms to mount the television. Being fixed to the wall, you had to find a spot where you could watch the television at eye level. This initial design limited the available areas for the TV mount. In addition, the home viewers had to reposition their couch or sofa to where the screen was installed. More people became familiar with the concept of the TV bracket, due to the television sets that were wall mounted. The wall brackets had to be sturdy and of good quality to keep the TV securely fixed to the wall. Once the TV wall bracket was proven to be safe and secure for mounting a television, manufacturers and designers began exploring the possibility of enhancing the TV brackets to make it more consumer friendly. From a simple metal plate on the wall, they developed features to enable swiveling and tiling of the television while being mounted on the wall.

The TV wall bracket evolved into different models and styles, depending on the size and weight of the TV to be mounted on the brackets. To make use of other space on the walls, other features were designed such as swiveling and tilting. These features allowed the brackets to be installed high up the wall and even in corners and have the facility to tilt the TV to the desired angle for comfortable viewing. When choosing TV wall brackets, be sure the brackets will hold the weight and size of the TV. Another important aspect is making sure the wall brackets are securely fixed to the wall. The only limitation when choosing the location is whether there are studs behind the wall to fasten the brackets. Plaster walls cannot hold heavy weights, and forcing a heavy weight upon them will result in broken walls and wrecked TV sets. To make sure your TV wall mounts are screwed to a stud, use a stud finder to find the studs behind the wall. You will need those studs to securely fasten the wall brackets. People in earthquake zones should ensure that the trembling and shaking will not loosen the screws set in the studs nor break the TV loose from the TV köşebent mounts. Next time you go to a hardware store, just mention TV wall mounts or brackets and you'll be presented with a huge array of models and types.
