TV Wall Mounts Allow You to Place a TV in Any Room
In a relatively short time television sets have gone from being an extremely exclusive luxury to an everyday household object.
This increasing accessibility is great as now more people than ever have the chance to enjoy all of the different shows, documentaries and movies that a TV can bring into the home, and TV wall mounts are taking this one step further by making it possible to enjoy your TV from literally any room in your house.
Traditionally, you would put your TV on some sort of floor stand or cabinet that sat in your lounge or living room.
This was never an ideal solution as stands tend to take up a lot of the floor space, not to mention the fact that it can be really hard to find a space that is large enough to actually house the TV stand whilst still offering a good viewing angle for everyone.
But when you use a TV wall mount you will be able to place your TV in absolutely any location.
This is great if you have a small living room and you don't want a big and bulky TV stand or cabinet sitting in the corner, but wall mounts also offer an extra degree of flexibility: with a wall mount it is possible to mount your wide screen TV in a bedroom or media room without having to worry about taking up any valuable floor space.
What's more, depending on the type of mount you buy you can even mount the TV in one room and position the screen so that you can watch it from an adjoining room! So if you want to use a TV wall mount, what do you have to bear in mind? The first thing to do is to read through the owner's manual that came with your television set - the manual will contain the measurements of the TV (which you will need when you come to buy your mount) and some TVs may only be compatible with certain types of mount and the manual will tell you which mounts are suitable for your set.
Once you have the measurements of your TV, you need to decide what features you want your mount to have.
Some basic mounts simply hold the TV against the wall, while more advanced mounts allow you to adjust the angle of the screen.
You can also get mounts that have adjustable arms that allow you to pull the TV away from the wall so that you can still view the screen without even being in the room, which is ideal if you want to catch up with your favourite shows on the TV mounted in the living room whilst preparing a meal from the kitchen for instance.
There are lots of different models out there so be sure to take your time when you are deciding which mount is right for you.
If you still aren't sure there is a lot of information available online about the various types of mounts available.
The final step is installing your mount in the room of your choice.
Most are designed with home installation in mind and will come with detailed fitting instructions, however if you don't feel confident enough to do the job yourself you can hire a professional fitter to come and install your mount for a relatively small fee.
