Plasma TV Mounts for Urban Cool Clutter Free Viewing

You've gone wide...thin...digital, so what's the point of hanging wires and speakers in an unsightly trip-over-zone when you can add the ultimate decorator's statement with an atmospheric plasma or LCD TV wall mount!

Top Reason For Choosing Plasma TV Wall Mounts. Clean uncluttered space in your lounge. Your flat screen TV mount fits close to the wall, freeing up entertainment center counter top surface for other gear, or art pieces to be enjoyed at "ground level". You create the ultimate viewing angle, just like going to the large-screen cinema.

2nd Reason For Your Flat Panel TV Wall Mount. LCD TV mounts exploit the thin profile...some models only 5 in. thick...to take-up 'dead space' on the wall, and to protect your digital TV investment from accidental damage if it stood on a cabinet where kids and animals' rough house play could create a tip-over.

Picking The Right Size TV Wall Mounts. Matching shapes, sizes and weights is key to selecting the optimum flat panel TV wall mount system. TV mount brackets tie-in to the structural timbers...2 x 4s...within your walls, typically spaced on 16 in. centers. Your plasma TV wall mount bracket relies on deeply imbedded wood screw anchors, in order to create a positive, and safe, connection. How much weight can a plasma TV wall mount bracket hold? Comfortably 200 to 300 pounds, which is a huge "safety margin" for even some 50 inch plasma TV models which weight less than 100 pounds.

TV mount brackets combine with a platform or base which your LCD TV sits on. Results? Safe, secure, modular, clean aesthetics, with radius adjustments as well!

Key Option - The Articulating TV Mount. Get the ultimate in positioning flexibility by selecting the right-sized articulating TV mount...extendable adjustable arms can radius side-to-side to increase the direct-viewing comfort of your wall mount TV. This design feature takes a little more backroom engineering, and will cost a few dollars extra...but the viewing comfort advantages out-weight any incidental costs.

TV Ceiling Mounts. As an alternative to the wall TV mount, families and businesses look "up" to the ceiling in search of yet another clean, airy location for a flat panel TV. The ceiling mount TV stand relies on hard-and-true connection to structural lumber in the ceiling plane. Anchor bolts, screw in with safety features pin the TV mount bracket hardware to the ceiling timbers. Telescoping arms, along with a support base, complete the engineering on a metal TV ceiling mount system. Just as strong...just as safe as a wall TV mount system, the TV ceiling mount frees up the most space of any mounting system. Cautions? Professional installation is a must!

The Interior Design Future Of Home Entertainment. Plasma TV mount systems create the designer 'gateway' to a cool, chic, urban and uncluttered decorating statement. The latest generation of composite and metal engineered wall TV mount systems as well as the innovative TV ceiling mount designs mean that families and businesses can free up counter top space, floor space, utilize "dead" wall space, yet maintain the same high standards of safety and equipment protection.

What to Look For in Plasma TV Mounts

One of the great advantages of the modern TV screen is that many of the newer technologies employ display methods that allow the TV screen to be very thin by past TV standards. This makes having a large screen TV much more practical, especially in rooms where space is at a premium. Older large screen televisions that used CRT monitors were very large, bulky pieces of equipment that only the most spacious rooms could accommodate. But that has all changed now with LCD and plasma TVs.

So if you have decided on mounting your plasma TV to a wall in your home, you need to keep a few things in mind. First and foremost is the weight of your particular TV model. You can usually find that weight specification in the user manual or even on the box that it comes in. As you start to shop for a wall bracket system, make sure that any mount that you consider is able to comfortably handle the weight of your television. If for any reason, the wall mount fails you can wind up with a very expensive piece of equipment on the floor pretty much destroyed. So with wall mounts you will need to have strong, sturdy equipment that can easily handle the weight of your TV. As always, price will affect how heavy-duty the brackets will be, so don't spend a lot of money on the TV and then try to scrimp too much on buying a plasma TV mall mount.

If you can, it's good to get a wall mount that is specifically made for your TV model, but there are also good universal mounts available. It used to be that the only wall mounts you could get for most televisions were a set of metal brackets that mounted to the wall and the TV hung on those brackets. While very sturdy, it did not allow any movement or repositioning of the TV, so today, you can find flexible wall mount units that actually let you extend the TV from the wall and turn it to adjust the viewing angle too. Just bear in mind, that with every flexible joint in the mounting system, there is more chance that something can go wrong. So buy extra heavy-duty in this particular area.

Just getting the plasma TV wall mounts is only the first step though. Now you have to install them and we suggest that you have someone who is very familiar with this kind of task to do this job for you. You can't simply drill holes at any spot in your wall and mount the hardware. You have to do it correctly or the weight of the TV will simply pull the wallboard down along with the brackets. So it's a good idea to factor in the cost of having a well-qualified person install the mounting hardware for you, in your total wall mount budget.
Once installed, a wall mounted plasma TV can be a joy to behold and watch, and if done correctly, it will last for many years.
