LCD TV Mounts—Which One To Choose?

You may be wondering: why would I need a LCD TV mount if my LCD TV already came with a simple stand? Well, not only do LCD TV mounts add to the overall appearance of a room, they also keep the delicate components out of the reach of clumsy hands. You spent, most likely, thousands of dollars on your LCD TV. Why not protect it with a LCD TV mount?

What Type of LCD TV Mount Do I Need?
Good question. There are three main types of LCD TV mounts to fit your LCD TV placement needs.

Wall Mount
For mounting a LCD TV, wall mounts seem to be the most common because they offer the most options.

-- Flat—Mount your LCD TV with this kind of LCD TV wall mount if you want direct viewing. This is perfect for the bedroom LCD TV.

-- Tilt—If you want to tilt the LCD TV from the wall to receive a better angled view, you need a tilt wall mount. Keep in mind that when you look for this kind of mount, make sure that it is easily adjustable. There are some LCD TV mounts that permit you to tilt your screen while it is already mounted, however, some LCD TV mounts require you to completely remove the screen before adjusting the tilt.

-- Articulating Arm—This innovative TV mount is the most versatile of the LCD TV mounts presented. Available in tilt or swivel, articulating arm LCD TV wall mounts are very popular in very small, tight rooms.

Flip-Down Mounts
If wall-mounting is not an option, many people opt for flip-down mounts. Flip-down mounts allow you to fold the screen against the bottom of a cabinet. This increases work space. These creative LCD TV mounts generally permit tilt and adjustability.

Tabletop or Desktop Mounts
These LCD TV mounts are rather self explanatory. They are can be paired with stands, desks, or tables. They typically offer tilt and vertical screen positioning.
Before you mount any LCD TV mounts, check behind your walls first. Although LCD TVs are lightweight, you have to make sure that the TV will be securely mounted. You need to have a wall stud that is able to support the weight of the TV. You can easily purchase that at your local Home Depot or from an online mounting manufacturer or reseller.
LCD TV mounts are truly a simply, yet innovative idea made to make your LCD more convenient, and also to protect it from dangerous variables.
