How To Mount A Flat Screen Tv

Types of TV Mounts

There are essentially three types of TV mounts: fixed, tilting, and full motion. Which mount would work best depends on the scenario.

Fixed mounts are ideal for situations where the wall in front of the couch is unobstructed, allowing the TV to be mounted at a seated eye level. Tilting mounts are useful for scenarios where the TV will mount above a fireplace or mantle, as it can tilt down to improve the viewing angle. Full motion mounts work in scenarios where the sitting area is at an angle to the wall, or the homeowner would prefer a bit more flexibility.
