What to Look for in a Plasma Television Wall Mount

For the average American, the home is full of people, things and furniture that all have their place, right? So why give up your precious space? From floor to ceiling, there are numerous places to display your plasma television without giving up your much needed floor space. Here is a list of a few, just to get you started.

Flat Wall Mount

Flat wall mounts are among the most common mounting option for plasma televisions.

Tilt Wall Mount

If you want your plasma television a little higher than the average eye level, then this is the wall mount for you. A tilt wall mount usually allows for 15° to 20° of tilt, depending upon the brand of plasma television you buy. A tilt wall mount is perfect for retail display, or it can be used over fireplaces or on bedroom walls, with or without attaching a ceiling bracket.

A tilt wall mount typically adds from 4" to 6" to the overall depth of the plasma display when mounted, so this particular wall mount can be considered the “Hershey’s Chocolate” of plasma television wall mounts. Why? Because it is simply delicious!

Articulating Wall Mount

This plasma television wall mount uses a swivel arm which can fold up when the television is not in use, allowing the plasma to be "flush mounted" like the tilt wall mount. It can add up to 4 inches to the depth of the plasma television wall mount depending on the manufacturer. The articulating wall mount is commonly used in sports bars, libraries, and retail displays. Most articulating wall mounts can turn 120° to either side and can tilt up to 15°.

If you don’t think that a plasma television wall mount is right for you, you can try something else.

Ceiling Mount Options

A ceiling mount is usually used with the tilt wall mount and provides attractive mounting options for bedrooms, hospital rooms, check out counters, and airports. Although the ceiling mount can be used with a flat wall mount, it is still necessary to tilt the unit downward, so you can actually see the television.

Well, now that you have begun your plasma television wall mount education, you can go out with the confidence of a seasoned buyer, and buy one.
