TV Floor Stands Versus Wall Mounts

!±8± TV Floor Stands Versus Wall Mounts

You have made an investment in a flat screen television. Now it is time to protect that investment from accidents. The design of the flat screen makes it easy for them to tip over and break. If you have children or pets you want to make sure you have the television mounted with a TV bracket. A TV bracket ensures the television cannot be knocked over. While it will not be protected from objects that might fly at it, you can at least feel secure the TV bracket is protecting your investment as much as possible.

You have two major choices when it comes to TV brackets. Among these two choices are a variety of styles for brackets. We will examine TV floor stands and wall mounts to help you decide which option might be best for you and your family. Let's start with the TV floor stands.

TV floor stands will place the television at eye level for your entertainment room. With the floor stands you have TV brackets which will attach the TV to the stand to make sure it will not fall over. It is also going to give you a place to store your television components like surround sound, DVD player, game console, etc. Depending on the TV floor stand you may also have room for DVDs and game storage. The TV brackets used in a TV stand might be limited based on space in the stand. It might be possible to use a flat mount, cantilever or motorised bracket. A flat mount is stationary, where as the cantilever mount has arms which can extend the television out of the stand allowing it to swivel and tilt as needed. A motorised bracket also allows for movement of the television to get the best possible position.

The downside to TV stands is the space they take up on the floor. If you desire your floor space you may not want the television stand to be in the way. Unfortunately, depending on where you live you may not have a choice regarding the floor stand. Flats can make it impossible for you to use wall mounts if you let a property.

Wall mounts include flat mounts, swivel mounts, tilting mounts, cantilever mounts, and motorised brackets. These five TV bracket choices make it possible for you to choose VESA mounting that best suits your pocket book and your home. The mounts are fairly self explanatory in what they do, but we will offer a bit of information on each.

Flat mounts are the simplest allowing you to place the television on the wall without any movement of the TV. Once it is set on the wall it is at a specific angle. If you want more flexibility with the wall mount you have swivel or tilting mounts. These two designs allow you to change the television's position when required. For example, you might want the TV to swivel towards your dining area and back into the living room after a meal. It is possible with the swivel mount that has a small arm in the back. The degree of swivel is based on the size of the television and the arm the TV bracket comes with.

Tilting mounts generally work to tilt the TV up or down based on where you have it positioned. A good example of how to use this TV bracket is if you have a fireplace. The fireplace may be the centre of your entertainment room leaving the only place for the TV above the mantel. With a tilting mount you can position the TV so that you have the best angle. Since a regular flat mount cannot tilt you would definitely want something that allows you to place the TV at a downward angle in this situation.

Any of the TV brackets you decide you want are going to be VESA mounting. VESA is a video association which provides electronic standards for TV brackets. VESA mounting has a four screw style setup for the small televisions, as well as cable exits to help you attach the necessary components to your TV. Larger VESA mounts will have more screws to help hold the heavier TV to the wall without fear of damage. There are also VESA mounts for large TVs placed in floor stands. Depending on your home set up you may decide TV brackets for the wall mount is better than a floor stand. Keep in mind the TV bracket is your choice based on durability and quality.

TV Wall Mount Bracket Buyers Guide

!±8± TV Wall Mount Bracket Buyers Guide

There are an excess of TV brackets available on the market, with a plethora of different designs and price tags. Which one is right for your television?

Here are some simple tips to help you avoid the pitfalls of buying the wrong TV bracket.

Ensure your TV is the correct size for the bracket and ensure it has the correct VESA spacing. VESA spacing is the distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV, smaller TV's tend to have VESA 100 or VESA 200 spacing, VESA 100 means there are 4 holes laid out in a square shape with 100mm between each hole. Bigger televisions usually use VESA 400, ensure the bracket you are buying is VESA compatible and it has the correct VESA fitting.

Make sure the TV bracket you buy has space to run the cabling, it's all well and good mounting your beautiful flat panel TV on the wall, but if you can't plug it in what's the point?

Decide where you are going to run your cabling and where you are going to place your DVD player etc. Big AV the online TV accessories superstore offer an excellent wall mounted shelf complete with cable management, these can be a great buy to keep everything neat and tidy.

Decide if you want a slim bracket that gets as close to the wall as possible, if this idea appeals to you be aware you will lose swivel and tilting facilities available on other brackets which don't get as close to the wall.

Tilt brackets usually have a 15 degree tilt and are perfect for when a TV is mounted quite high, this type of bracket is essential in some cases.

Swivel brackets, there are a number of swivel TV brackets available; some incorporate the tilt facility some do not, so check this before you order. There are 2 types of swivel mechanism, a cantilever arm is often used, this type of mechanism allows the TV to be pulled out, rotated to almost any angle and pushed flat against the wall, if you need to move the TV frequently this is the type of bracket you want. The other type of swivel bracket needs to be loosened moved and tightened (usually with a screwdriver); this type is not as flexible but is more suited to locations where stability is a priority.

In a nutshell-
1) Check the overall size of your TV and the brackets max capability, also check the TV's mounting holes to ensure compatibility.
2) Think about the cabling before ordering make sure you will have room to plug your TV in and a system to take care of the loose wiring.
3) Think about where you want to place your other equipment.
4) Decide if you want a flat, tilting, or swiveling and tilting bracket.
