An Articulating Wall Mount Will Give The Best Viewing Results
Flat screen TV wall mounts which articulate can provide much greater flexibility of viewing positions, your room can be setup to be comfortable and flexible without requiring chairs and seating to remain in fixed positions in the room just because that is the best position for watching TV.
The articulating wall mounts that are available today provide very flexible movement and can allow much better viewable positioning of today’s large screen television compared to fixed position wall mounts or a base mounted television.
There a number of varieties of articulating wall mounts from a range of manufacturers and it is worth considering some of the differences and the advantages and disadvantages of this type of wall mount before you buy.
The first thing to consider is the size and weight of the television that you wish to use for the articulating wall mount since different wall mounts are designed depending on the weight and size if the television in use, it is much more complicated to swivel and tilt a large 40inch screen than a smaller say 22 inch lightweight screen. You need to be aware of the limitations of the wall mount that you are considering
Any articulated wall mount should have the capacity to swivel and tilt, and it is worth remembering that if you plan on mounting the TV above normal viewing level that tilt is as important as swivel.
The reason that there are wall mounts that are not able to move in more than one plane is usually one of cost; it is far more expensive to articulate a TV mounting in more than one direction than in a single direction. There is therefore a need for you to decide if the wall mount needs to be fully articulating or maybe just a swivel or tilt mount.
It is also worth considering that not all situations or rooms require the same wall mount capabilities, in the bedroom or kitchen the TV may be mounted much higher than normal and may require a larger degree of tilt movement than a TV that is mounted just above normal viewing height.
A swivel mount allows side to side movement whilst a tilt bracket will allow movement in an up and down direction, whereas an articulated mount allows for both movements to some degree.
There is often great variations in the ability and movement of the various mounts and you need to be sure that you can define and explain what you require and ensure that the wall mount you are looking at buying is able to provide the movement that you want.
Wall mounts take up very little space in a room compared to a floor unit and this reason alone is a factor in the increasing popularity of these units, particularly in rooms other than the normal viewing room.
The fixed form of wall mount is rather restrictive in its positioning and it then limits the positions that you can view the televising from; so in a situation such as the kitchen where you may want to follow a recipe while at the stove and then adjust the TV so you can watch the news at the dinner table an articulating wall mount or even a ceiling mount is the best solution.
One other position that the articulating wall mount is great for is where the best position for viewing the TV from is the corner of the room but you don’t want it to be so prominent when you are not watching and so the ability to fold the TV back against the wall out of the way is required.
Regardless of where you require your TV to be mounted an articulating wall mount can be the near perfect solution to your TV mounting problem.
