Features of Swivel TV Mounts

Buying a TV is a rather difficult task, since you have to select a model from a large number of all kinds of options. But comfortable viewing will depend not only on the TV model, but also on the type of bracket that you also purchase to place the new device in your home.

Wall and ceiling brackets will allow you to install the unit so that neither rays of sunlight nor the difficult geometry of the room interfere with your pleasant pastime.

Here are the main features of tilting designs and pivoting fixtures for LCD screens:

• you can easily change the angles of inclination or the angles of rotation at will;
• tilt or swivel will allow you to place the TV exactly on the wall, like a fixed-type bracket;
• it is a much more complicated design than a fixed fixture.

The positive sides of the brackets of the inclined and rotary subspecies:

• you will be able to deploy the device, protecting it from the rays of the sun or glare of electric light;
• remote placement from the wall will allow access to different wires;
• excellent options for quickly moving the TV: away from the wall or closer to it, you can easily change the angle of inclination, turn the device in any direction

There are practically no downsides, except for the complex process of equipment installation.

Characteristic features of tilt-and-turn brackets:

• you can not only tilt the bracket in the direction you want, but also unfold it;
• perfect for rooms with complex geometry;
• allow you to freely change the look of the interior;

A feature of the retractable arm is the option of extending the monitor screen forward. The product works at the expense of a kind of "hand". Some retractable mounts can change the angle of inclination. This type of suspension, as swivel-retractable, is much more convenient than a stationary model. Unlike a simple barbell, the new circuit has two very important additions:

• telescopic adjustment of the level of fixing the TV to the ceiling;
• the presence of a swivel unit that provides horizontal rotation of the screen in the range from 0 to 180 degrees.

However, this multifunctional design has its drawbacks. Due to the complex installation and high cost, it is not in demand and is hardly suitable for home. The decision of the question of which bracket is best suited for your walls: swivel, retractable or inclined, depends on the requirements of the consumer.

Ceiling structures for a TV, like many wall-mounted models, are considered not only a stylish component of any modern interior, but also allow you to make the placement of your TV as convenient as possible for viewing.

The swivel bracket is a retractable device that can be locked in almost any desired position. When using this type of attachment, you can change the location of the unit by carefully pulling out, unfolding and changing the angle of its inclination.

The swivel-type mechanism will allow you to place the TV in any corner of the desired room. With it, you can easily get rid of the bright glare of the sun on the screen by simply turning the monitor in the opposite direction.A pull-out mechanism will allow you to move the device away from the wall, placing it closer to the place from where the viewing is being conducted.

Among the main advantages of the swivel-retractable options is the ability to change the location of the device with a 180-degree turn in the desired direction.

The tilt-and-turn options of the holders help to turn the unit in a plane along any possible line for more detailed adjustment. The available angles of rotation will also depend on the specific size of the diagonal of the TV (the larger it is, the smaller the angle of rotation). Thanks to the tilt mechanism, you can change the position of the screen vertically. This means that you can place the device in the upper part of the wall of the room, and after that you will be able to change the position of the screen so that everything is clearly visible.

The product will have a slight slope downward. This will allow you to watch TV most comfortably, even if you place it at a significant height.

Let's consider some interesting models of brackets.

The bracket is perfect for units with a screen size of 26-40 inches. It is stable and can withstand the significant weight of a modern TV. It is placed when folded about 3 cm from the wall, it can be extended by almost 50 cm, it is possible to adjust the position in accordance with the most comfortable placement of the device. The design is available in 2 popular colors: in delicate white and stylish black, which will suit any interior. The weight of this product is not very large - only 18 kg.

The gray construction is made of high quality materials and is therefore particularly robust. The main plus is the ease of installation of the structure. The articulated product consists of 2 elbows. You can independently adjust the position of the LCD screen in 2 planes. LCD screens with a maximum diagonal of 26 inches can be installed.

The design allows the TV to be positioned at various distances from the wall surface: from 9.2 to 40.5 cm. Installation is possible both on a regular flat wall, and in a deep niche, and in a narrow corner. This silver device looks very stylish, does not look bulky and large. Suitable for LCD screens 40 inches or more.

Those who decide to purchase a design for a bulky LCD TV should know the rules for choosing the best fixture.

First you need to know the exact distance between the mounting points on the back of the device. The instructions contain information about such an important parameter as VESA - this is a special system for the correct ordering of video electronics mounting methods.

However, some types of TVs still do not have such a parameter, in addition to this, there are several subspecies of mounts in VESA. For example, for models with a large screen, the holes for fasteners are 20 by 20 cm, but there are other variations (20 by 40, 40 by 40 and even 80 by 40). Products with small screens also have several options for the location of the distance between all attachment points (5 by 5 cm, 10 by 10 cm, 10 by 20 cm). The parameters of the bracket and your unit must match.

Let's consider other important points.

• It is worth making sure that there is a guarantee for the device you have selected.
• Check with the store for the design type of the product so that you know for sure that you have purchased the model that will suit you perfectly.
• Various parts should be included with the device: special fasteners, bolts, cables. Make sure they are all present.
• Think, maybe you will like the automatic adjustment, its position can be changed with the remote control automatically. This kind of bracket will be expensive, but if you have a huge LCD screen, tilting or rotating it by hand will be tricky.

Wall-mounting of a solid structure to support the TV will be done in a specific order. Read the installation instructions of the product carefully before mounting it.

• First you need to find the best height, mark the places for the fasteners.

• A horizontal stand is removed from the base of the TV.

• Attach the bracket fasteners to the rear panel of the device.

• It is worth measuring the distance from the top of the plate, which will be attached to the wall, to the top of the product. To do this, you need to attach the structure to the fasteners already pre-attached to the TV.

• The resulting distance should be set aside from the desired position of the upper edge of the device on the wall.

• Next, attach a fastener plate to the wall, mark the places of the holes for fastening. In order for this plate to be mounted evenly, a building level must be used when marking.

• The required hole parameter is drilled.

• Anchor bolts (dowels) must be inserted into the existing holes for high-quality fixation of the new device.

• A new bracket can be installed on the support part and the TV can be mounted on it. The strength of the resulting structure is checked.

• Next is the connection of all the necessary wires. If the construction kit includes special boxes, then all communications can be laid in them.

If you follow all the recommendations correctly, and also take into account the characteristics of the strong bracket model you have selected, then installation will not take you too much time or effort. And installing the device yourself will save you money.

In order to save more free space, the owners of modern TVs prefer to choose a bracket for installing LCD screens on the wall of living rooms, as this solution is practical and stylish.
