Which Plasma TV Mounts Should You Choose?

Plasma TV mounts are the perfect way to set up your new plasma screen. These can be a great way to watch movies and shows and they work best when hung on a flat surface. There are three main types of mounts to pick from.

First, you have the cheapest version of the mounts, a low profile one. This type holds your screen snug to the wall and is a pain if you need to get behind the TV for any reason. It will need to be lifted down to get behind it. However, there are some advantages. The cost is very low and just about anyone can install this type of mount, it’s like hanging a photo. Nice and easy.

Next up in price is the tilting mount. This allows for a limited range of motion, just up and down. That’s not a bad thing since most people sit right in front of their TV. Tipping a screen up or down just changes it for the height of the viewer and is a nice way to adjust things. These mounts are easy to work with and allow for access to the back.

Finally we have the most expensive option, the full motion brackets which are built with folding arms that can move around in nearly any direction.

This is a mount that allows for a full range of motion. No matter where the viewer is, the screen can be tipped, tilted and moved forward and back until it is just so. Many people opt for this because of the flexibility, even though it is more expensive than other options.

These are the three big types of plasma TV wall mounts, but within these categories, there are a number of styles. From X wall mounts to double ones, you have plenty of options. Price and the planned use of a screen will help you choose which ones work for you.
