You have your new shiny TV and can't wait to put it on the
wall, lets buy a bracket! Not so quick, its very important
you get this right and it does need a little planning. What
do you want your TV to do, do you want it to just stay in
the one position? this may be okay in the bedroom but not
so good in the lounge if you have a few people round to
show off too as they may struggle to all see it. The flat
look may look best but does limit the viewing angle
considerably so do bear this in mind.

If the TV is to be placed above eye level, over a
mantlepiece for example or in the bedroom, then the tilt
bracket is the one to go for. Most tilt brackets will tilt
up to 15 degrees. The majority of tilt TV Wall Brackets
will sit your TV approximately three inches from the wall
so do not sit as flush as the flat mounts but this does
allow more room behind the mounts for cables etc. The tilt
has to sit further from the wall to allow it to offer the
tilt facility.

The tilt & twist and arm brackets are ideal if you need to
move the TV to face different seating positions. These
offer full movement and are best suited to alcoves and
corners. All good websites should give you all of the
dimensions of the brackets and a full guide to the exact
movement of each bracket. All of these brackets will also
fold back against the wall but bear in mind due to the arm
on them they will not fold back as close to the wall as the
flat and tilt models, again, the size of each bracket when
flat will be shown in the description. Most arm brackets
will sit approximately six inches from the wall when flat.

Many arm and twist brackets will have a built in system for
hiding your cables along the arm. Arm brackets are also
known as corner brackets as they are perfect when mounting
your TV in the corner of the room allowing you to move them
out into the room for viewing and then folding them back
when not in use.

Hopefully the above will help you in deciding which option
is best for your circumstances and we are always just a
phone call or email away.
