So, it happened! A brand new huge panel is in the box in your house. Now comes the insight: where to put this coveted TV? But no, he should not just stand and dust on the nightstand ! This crown of family leisure must necessarily hang on the wall, like the works of the greatest artists of the world! To solve this problem, you need a wall bracket for fixing LCD and plasma TVs. What is a wall bracket for TV? How to choose it correctly? And 6 useful tips on choosing and installing the fasteners for the TV on the wall can be learned by reading this material.
Types of Fasteners
As you can understand from the title of the subtitle, you will need to choose the bracket for the TV from several existing modifications. The choice of mounting type will mainly be determined by the future location on the wall of your TV. There are three types:
- wall fixing of fixed type;
- wall fasteners with the possibility of adjusting the angle of inclination;
- swivel wall bracket for fixing the TV.
Now let's look at each of the wall mount options for the TV. So, a fixed holder for the TV allows you to carry out wall mounting of a plasma or LCD panel. When using this type of attachment, the device is closest to the wall plane. But, getting such a fix, it is worth considering that the TV will have to be placed at right angles to the eyes of the audience. This means that the height of the TV mounting on the wall will be limited. What does this mean? The fact that it can not be hung high.
Wall brackets for TV with the ability to adjust the angle of inclination are more practical than the models described above, but somewhat more expensive. Their advantage is that the TV can be tilted down, which makes it possible to mount at any height. Even if you hang the panel under the ceiling, the right angle with the viewer's eyes can be achieved by tilting the TV down.
To place the TV on a wall of unusual shape or corner into rooms, you will need a swivel bracket with a lever. The swivel arm can be attached both from below and from behind the TV. This device allows you to achieve any position of the screen plane in relation to any of the points of the room.
Determined how to choose the bracket for your TV? Not yet, well, then you probably will be helped by six useful tips, which are presented in the next section.
Helpful Tips
- Make sure that the selected mount can withstand the weight of your TV (contact the seller).
- If you plan to rotate the TV if necessary from side to side, then it's better to pay attention to the multicolored swivel mounts.
- Always check the scope of the bracket mountings. It will be unpleasant to begin installation from a trip for the purchase of dowels. Most manufacturers complete their brackets with everything necessary.
- Be sure not to use the instructions! The panel will break - do not stick together!
- If you have chosen a fixed fastener, then do not mount it at a height exceeding 1.5 meters from the floor.
After all, when you are watching TV sitting, your eyes are at about this height. - If in your home walls are finished with plasterboard, then the fasteners described in this material will not work for you. They are attached using dowels or anchors, which require a wall thickness of 10-15 centimeters. Otherwise, they simply piled out of the wall along with the bracket and TV.
We hope that this material will help you make the right choice of mounting for the TV on the wall. Good luck watching your favorite TV shows and success in editing!
