Mounting the TV on the wall can be done with the help of special fasteners:

2. Low profile TV wall mount: designed for TVs with a diagonal of less than 40 inches. With this type of placement, the TV can be moved to the side for a short distance.
3. Movable holder for TV on the wall. This attachment can be used to mount a flat-panel TV with a diagonal of 13-26 inches. The holder has a rotary lever, with which you can change the angle of inclination both in the sides and up and down. This will allow you to select the most optimal level of placement of the TV, while avoiding glare and other extraneous lighting.
4. Adapter bracket for fixing the TV panel: adds additional width. This holder can be used to install a plasma TV with a diagonal up to 65 inches.
5. Mounting the hinged structure: allows you to adjust the position of the TV in any direction, including moving away from the wall for some distance.
6. Low profile wall mount: provides a minimum gap between the TV and the wall. Despite its small size, this design is capable of holding a TV panel with a diagonal of up to 47 inches and weighing up to 80 kg. On this holder, the TV can be slightly shifted to the side.

When choosing the holder for the TV, make sure that the mounting holes on the model of the TV panel that you purchase correspond to the VESA standard, since almost all the brackets are made specifically for this standard. If you have other holes on the TV, you can use a universal holder for wall mounting.
