Mount All of Your TVs
You can mount almost any TV with a universal wall mount. It is important to note that there are different types of wall mounts that you can choose from to get the best angle or presentation. There are three main types of wall mounts that can be purchased. Here is the breakdown of each type and how they can benefit you most.
Flat
This type of wall mount is perfect for a TV that is going to stay stationary in one location. If you do not need it to move, tilt, or swivel, this is the best wall mount. It is an affordable option that can be utilized in almost any room.
Tilt
This type of wall mount allows you to mount your TV in one stationary place and also allows you to tilt your TV up and down. This is great when it is placed in a living room or other room in full light. It can help you adjust the screen so that there is less reflection and glare from the sun.
Turn
Turn wall mounts, also known as full-motion wall mounts, allow your TV to be moved around. This is great for use in corners in a room, as the TV can be mounted flush to the corner without sticking out dangerously. This is also great if you are in tight living quarters. You can swivel the TV out when you want to watch it and swivel it back in to place it away.
Let’s Hang
Hanging or mounting a TV to the wall is an easy task. With today’s tools and technology, virtually anyone can successfully mount a TV on their own. If you are less handy, you can always opt to hire a handyperson to help you out. Do not worry about the screws; a good mounting kit will provide you with all you need to get your TV up and to run.
