Types of LCD/Plasma Mounts and Brackets
There are several types of LCD/ Plasma mounts and brackets you can choose from, with the most basic being the Flat LCD/ Plasma Brackets which allow a neat close to the wall mount, but also include tilt options for when the screen needs to be mounted higher than at average seating level.
LCD/ Plasma Wall Arms provide a mount that can be pulled away from the wall and often can be folded back when not in use and with the tilt and swivel options, provide greater versatility for positioning of your LCD/ Plasma screen.
Articulated LCD/ Plasma Brackets are the optimum choice for your maximum viewing potential with the opportunity to pull the arm away from the wall and fold back flat when not in use, and the tilt and swivel options give you complete freedom to place your screen in the most comfortable viewing position for you and your environment.
Ceiling Mounts are an alternative solution for when wall mounting is not appropriate and can give various options in the degree of length of drop available from the ceiling, thereby suiting a variety of environments from commercial to domestic.
Stands/Trolleys are the ideal solution when positioning of your LCD/ Plasma screen needs to be versatile and constantly relocated, such as in schools, colleges, hospitals, meeting rooms.
And for the slightly different locations such as home offices, small flats or kitchens, Under Cabinet and Desktop LCD solutions are an ideal and trendy alternative for the smaller LCD screens.
Where to mount your LCD/Plasma Screen
With the popularity of LCD/ Plasma screens soaring, it is becoming more and more fashionable to have screens located within several rooms of the house instead of limited to the more usual places such as the lounge, dining room and bedroom. The use of smaller screens within the kitchen, displayed using under cabinets style mounts is becoming a popular choice and even top of the range bathrooms can include such added luxuries.
Can I install my LCD/Plasma TV screen myself?
Mounts and brackets are simple to install and come with the appropriate fittings necessary however, the equipment will require careful handling and for optimum picture quality from your screen, connection of the right cables in the right place is extremely important.
Will my wall support my new screen?
With correct installation, most walls, whether concrete, brick, stud and drywalls will support your new screen. If however you are mounting onto a plasterboard cavity wall, then this may require reinforcing, and be particularly diligent about ensuring your bracket is placed on a partition or joist when mounting your screen to a stud wall or ceiling.
At what height would you recommend I mount my screen?
This obviously depends on where you are positioning the screen and what size the room is. Ideally it is best to base the middle of the screen at eye level depending on your seating arrangements so viewing is comfortable, however with increased usage of such screens within pubs, shopping centres and gyms to promote advertising or sporting events, many screens are being placed at higher levels and rely on a tilting options to assist with comfortable viewing.
It is advisable when installing your screen and mount that a minimum of two people are at hand, particularly if your screen is large. The actual task of lifting the screen into place, positioning it and then fastening it is a simple job, but it is useful to have additional assistance to ensure the screen is level and help hold the screen while you work. It is recommended that you secure your mount to it's fixture in the ceiling or wall, fastening the adapter plate to your screen, and then mounting your LCD/plasma and adapter plate to the mount itself.
Depending on your mount, cable management will be one of the final steps of the LCD/Plasma installation process. Many mounts do offer cable management systems to conceal unruly wires.
