How to choose the bracket for the TV on the wall?
If you do not need to do anything with the TV, that is, you plan to watch it always from one point, then you do not need all the "twists" like rotary and sliding designs. It is enough to purchase a conventional fixed bracket. It is an order of magnitude cheaper, besides it is the most reliable among the brothers, because there are no additional mobile nodes in it.
If you want to follow fashion trends, you need a bracket for the TV on the wall of the last generation - rotary-sliding. It allows you to push the TV a considerable distance from the wall, so that it can even "look out" because of a column or corner. In addition, you can adjust the angle of tilt and turn the TV.
You can tilt, rotate and pull out the bracket from the TV without additional tools and special efforts. But the amplitude of the TV on this bracket is simply amazing. In the folded state, the thickness of the entire structure with the TV does not exceed 10 cm. As an additional convenient feature, a shelf for video equipment can go to the wall to the TV bracket.
A retractable TV bracket on the wall is worth a lot, and if there is no need for extension, you can consider the option of just a swivel-tilt bracket. It also gives great opportunities in setting the position of the TV.
