Mounting a LCD TV to the wall can not only make your room look organized, it will also free up space for other items you need to have in that particular room. Newer monitors do not take up a lot of room, but they just look better mounted on your wall. You can also save the cost of buying a proper LCD TV stand for your unit.
What you need to know is that there are a few types of wall mounts and after you read about them, it should help you to decide which one suits your needs best.
Full Motion Tv Bracket
o Low Profile LCD Wall Bracket - this is the most simple type of bracket to install in comparison to other brackets. If you can hang a picture on the wall, you can install a low profile LCD wall mount bracket. If you decide to use this type of mount, your LCD will be fixed to the wall, in other words, you cannot tilt it, move it up and down or to either side. Not being able to adjust your LCD can prove difficult if you ever need to switch out cables from the back.
o Tilting LCD Wall Mount Bracket. These types of brackets cost more than your basic low profile TV wall mount bracket. It is also pretty straight forward to install a tilting LCD TV wall mount bracket, but you will be able to adjust your vertical viewing angle with ease. There is a pivot point in the middle of a tilting LCD TV wall mount bracket that allows you to adjust it easily. This will make it easier to change out cables, if needed.
o Full motion LCD Wall Mount - as the description suggests, you can move your TV in almost any direction or angle you need to. These types of TV wall mount brackets are fairly expensive, because they have moving parts. This is not a simple installation process, you may require up to three people to complete it. Once installed, you will enjoy a full range of motion of your LCD and easy access to cables, if needed.
When you are determining which LCD wall bracket to buy, you need to take exact measurements of your monitor including width and length in order to ensure that you purchase the right kit. You should know how much your set weighs, because this will also be a factor. Being prepared prior to installation will make the entire process go smoother.
