How to Choose the Right TV Mount for Your Living Room

Mounting your TV is one of the best ways to create a clean, modern look in your living room. But before you buy a mount, it’s important to understand your options. Here are the main types and when to use them.

Fixed mounts

These hold your TV flat against the wall, much like a picture frame. They’re the most affordable and stable option but don’t allow for adjustments. Best for rooms where you’ll always watch straight on.

Tilting mounts

These allow you to angle the screen up or down. They’re ideal if your TV will be placed above eye level, such as above a fireplace, since you can tilt it for a better viewing angle.

Full-motion mounts

Also called articulating mounts, these extend from the wall and swivel left or right. They’re perfect for large rooms or open layouts where you may watch from different angles.

Considerations before buying

• Wall type: Drywall, plaster, or brick will affect which mounts work safely.
  
  

• TV size and weight: Always check the mount’s rating to ensure it supports your television.
  
  

• Cable management: Look for mounts that allow easy access to HDMI ports and hiding cables.
