Whether you are finally replacing a TV you bought so long ago, or simply looking for the best TV wall mount for the new TV you are going to buy during Black Friday. Getting the right mount for your unique set up is important. From fixed, tilt, and full motion to MantelMount and ceiling mounts, when it comes to finding the best TV wall mount, knowing where to start is important!

That’s because if you start the process without a plan, it can easily turn into a disaster. Whether it is punching unnecessary holes in your walls or worse, your TV falls down. Before you mount a TV yourself, there are some things to consider.

Where you put your TV takes some careful consideration. For example, if you want to hang your TV above the fireplace you may need a cooling fan. However, if it stays above the mantel and never moves the mantel will act as a shield from the heat. On the other hand, if you have a full-motion mount that puts the TV right in front of the fireplace. You will definitely need a cooling fan. That is, if you don’t want to damage your TV and sound bar.

Additionally, the type of material used to build the wall you are mounting your TV on is yet another important consideration. For normal walls, you will need one type of TV mount. And, for harder surfaces like cement or brick, you will need a specialized type of TV wall mount.

To choose the best TV wall mount, you first need to decide what kind of movement you would like your TV to have. For some, they prefer a fixed position, and for others they want the versatility a motion mount gives them. Motion mounts are great for those who want greater flexibility because it allows you to move the TV so that you can see it from different areas in the room. Whether you choose a fixed, tilted, or motion mount will depend on your personal preferences, room layout, and intended use of the TV as well as the people watching it. We offer a better description of each type of TV wall mount below:

Fixed TV Mounts

These low-profile TV mounts attach nearly flush to the wall to maximize the sleek, thin lines of today’s TVs. When your TV needs to be positioned close to the wall and at a fixed height, this type of TV wall mount will be more suitable. They are also a good choice when you want your view to be at eye level, directly in front of your seating area. They are best used in areas where you have total control over the lighting, to avoid glare on the TV screen. If you tend to stay in one place and rarely move around, this is the suggested type of wall mount.

Tilting TV Mounts

These TV mounts tilt up or down for better viewing from a couch, bed or floor. They are recommended when reflections from windows or lighting interfere with TV viewing or when multiple viewing angles are desired. They allow vertical tilting so it can be mounted higher and still point down to provide excellent visibility. The amount of tilt varies by model, but they can typically tilt between 5º and 15º at the touch of a finger.

Full Motion Mount

These TV mounts extend, retract, tilt, and swivel in all directions, so they are often the best choice for most homes. They are recommended when multiple viewing positions are desired or when a wall corner, room shape or window location makes it difficult to properly situate a TV. Full motion TV wall mounts (also called articulating mounts) are the most versatile mounts on the market.

Nothing will ruin the appearance of your wall mounted TV quicker than loose wires hanging down! While some mounts offer channels in the body where the wires can be run neatly, others offer clips on the outside of the frame to hold the wires in place. In both cases, your wires and cables are not truly hidden. In this case, it’s best to get your TV professionally installed.

A mess of cables hanging from your TV can easily ruin the sleek look of a wall mounted TV. And, even if you don’t plug a single device into your television, you’ll still need to deal with an ugly cord trailing down your wall to the electrical socket. With all of this in mind, we offer some suggestions on the best TV wall mount for any setup.

Getting the TV to a lower position, at the ideal height and level with the eyes can be challenging.
