Congratulations! You just convinced your wife that a brand new Flat Screen was the only way you were going to make it through the SuperBowl alive! But she doesn't want the blasted thing sitting on her beautifulstylish dresser covering the picture frames of your favorite outlaws and your spoilt darling niece. So what's the solution you ask? Why a Wall mount of course!
Appearance
Wall Mount Brackets take TV's where they've never been before. Space efficiency with a TV has always been ignored, but mounting your TV on the wall can quickly give back close on 4 square feet of floor space. Using a Wallmount you can pick the perfect viewing height, without needing a large base. If hung high on the wallit can look like a piece of wall art. This gives a good amount of space below ensuring the dresser can stay put. Of course a little bit of pre-thought will need to go into this picture perfect design for cables and electrical outlets. If you are designing a new room, take the timeduring framing to decide upon the electrical and cable outlets required, and the spacing of studs.
Hanging the TV at picture frame height isn't a requirement and a TV at couch level height is also a good choice.If this is the case I find good rule of thumb is to install the wall mount at the same height as the back of your couch. Another benefit to installing the TV lower is that wall plugs and cable outlets are often pre-installed at that level above the floor. Generally I use the following guideline:bedroom's require the TV to be up higher for easier viewing, because the height of most beds are higher. When installing in a theater room, the TV can be lower down and is actually more comfortable at the lower viewing height.
Safety
These new TV's might not look heavy, but if flipped over they are big enough to hurt a small child. A wall mount bracket properly installed to the studs in the wall, will secure the TV. Wallmounts also make a flat screen much harder to steal, if in the small chance your house is robbed. Installing the TV higher up also protects it against flying Wii remotes, grubby fingerprints, and against mistaken identity as a fire-hydrant by your Jack Russell Terrorizer.
Design Options
There are a few different wall mount designs. Fixed wall mount brackets are usually the cheapest and most simple type of Wallmount. However fixing the TV in place makes it much more difficult to access the plugs and there is little room for error in placement. Tilting wall mount brackets are a good in-between solution, they allow for some movement to get a better viewing angle and access to the connectors. Full motion (tilt and swivel) wall mounts as the name implies give a complete range of motion. These wall mounts allow for vast adjustments after install and can also allow the TV to be tucked away when not in use. More recently slim wall mount brackets were introduced to complement the thin design of LED televisions. New LED televisions weigh less than "traditional" flat screens and therefore the wall mount doesn't need to be as big and robust.
While buying the TV can be done at a big box store, cheaper prices for Wallmounts can often be found at online retailers such as bestpricecables.com.They have a pretty good selection of Wallmounts and include free shipping on purchases over seventy-five dollars.
So to sum it all up: Wall mounts can save you money, when compared to the cost of the furniture to sit a new TV on. Wall mounts are great space savers giving back precious space in the bedroom and small living rooms. Wall mounts give a degree of safety for kids and can remove the TV out of the way from potential damage. Wall mounts come in a few different styles and price points to meet a wide range of buyers.
