Top TV Mounting Choices: Stands, Wall Mounts, Corner Mounts, Electric Mounts

0:00

There have been numerous enticing deals on HDTVs lately, including offers like buy-one-get-one-free deals, leaving many consumers wondering where to mount their new TVs. While mounting is not necessary for everyone, as all HDTVs come with stands or legs for placement on flat surfaces, some may want to explore the mounting options available.

When it comes to wall mounting, it is important to ensure that your TV adheres to VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) guidelines for mounting. Various wall mounts are designed to accommodate different TV sizes, offering options for TVs between 37 and 70 inches. Standard wall mounts typically consist of a metal bracket attached to the wall’s studs, along with hooked rails bolted onto the TV. Additional features may include mounts that extend outward, swivel left and right, or tilt up and down for enhanced viewing angles and flexibility.

For those looking for more advanced options, motorized mounts with remote control capabilities are available. These mounts can extend the TV outward from the wall or adjust its height with the push of a button. However, it is important to note that motorized mounts require a power source to function.

In cases where a flat surface is not available for mounting, corner TV mounts or “pull-down” mounts for TVs above a fireplace are alternative options to consider. These mounts provide flexibility in placement and offer unique solutions for unconventional TV mounting scenarios.
