New generation televisions like flat screen TVs have changed TV viewing and home entertainment - for the better! Flat screens provide sharp images in vibrant colors and free up floor space. In addition to the entertainment it brings, it also improves the interior decor of the room.
LCD and plasma are the two competing technologies for flat screen TVs. LCDs are often less expensive than plasma screen TVs of the same size and they also consume less energy. However, both the quality and longevity of the picture is often less than their plasma screen counterparts.
To mount your flat screen or plasma TV to the wall, you need a wall mount. Flat screen TV wall mounts are fairly thin and come in variable sizes to fit 22 to 50 inch screens. They are low profile and some can tilt or tilt and swivel. Low profile models have metal braces, which hang the TV on the wall. Your television will look like a beautiful picture or wall decoration.
Tilting television wall mounts sit about 2 to 4 inches from the wall. Tilting wall mounts can tilt the screen about 15 degrees up or down. With this type of mount, you can hang the TV up high and angle it down towards the seating area, which is perfect for your bedroom.
The space needed for installation can be greatly reduced with tilting / swiveling mounts. They can sit the TV about 5 to 20 inches from the wall and can rotate it about 60 degrees as well as tilt it up and down. These features make them suitable for installation in the corner of your room.
Installation has to be done with utmost care. Most television wall mounts specify a maximum weight that can be supported, so selection has to be done keeping the size of the set in mind. Avoid installation areas where there is plumbing. Hiring professionals can ensure safe installation and mounting.
Prior planning is necessary to decide the right placing of cable, speakers, DVD player or gaming system. Remember that proper air flow is required to prevent the components from over-heating. With a few extra dollars you can hide them in a cabinet or in a different room.
Dangling cables could really steal the cleaned up appearance that you're trying to achieve. Instead of letting them dangle, feed the cables through the wall, hide them behind the wall or use a conduit. Remember that you should not run power cords through the wall.
In the future, prices will go down even further on flat screens and the weight of the mounts will be reduced, aiding in easy mounting. With proper planning and careful selection, your flat screen TV and wall mount can provide you entertainment for years to come.
