THE BEST WALL MOUNT FOR YOUR TV: HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT SETUP

Have you just bought a new LCD TV from Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips, Panasonic or another brand and need to figure out how to hang it? You probably need a wall mount. Choosing the right option can seem a bit daunting, but don't worry, we're here to walk you through the whole process.

SIZE AND WEIGHT

To choose the right TV mount, you first need to work out some specific measurements for your television, starting with the weight and the size of the screen in inches. This data is absolutely essential to ensure that the mount can hold and support your TV securely without breaking or falling. Ekon offers a wide range of products to suit many different sizes and weights: choosing the right fit for your television is simple and intuitive.

WHAT IS VESA?

While TV weights and dimensions are fairly easy to understand, VESA sizing can seem quite complex. However, this data is vital to help you choose the best TV wall mount for your home. The VESA mounting standard is based on the distance between the mounting holes (usually 4) found on the back of the television, which must align with the holes on the mount. The sizes reflect the horizontal distance and the vertical distance (e.g. 400 x 400, with the first figure corresponding to the horizontal distance and the second corresponding to the vertical distance). Measure the horizontal distance between the holes and then the vertical distance between the holes, and you will have your VESA size to ensure a perfect fit. Again, the Ekon range encompasses many VESA sizes to meet your needs.

TV MOUNTS: FULL MOTION, TILTING OR FIXED?

Once you know all the facts and figures about your TV, be it Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips, Panasonic or another brand, you can think about the style of TV mount that will best suit your room. Ekon offers several different types of mount: full motion, tilting, dual arm, and fixed. Full-motion wall mounts are equipped with an arm that allows you to move the television from right to left. Tilting wall mounts, on the other hand, are designed to tilt LCD TVs vertically to find the best viewing angle. Finally, fixed wall mounts are a classic and understated option, allowing you to mount your television on the wall like a painting.

SINGLE OR DUAL ARM?

Single and dual-arm full-motion TV mounts may seem similar, but they actually serve slightly different functions. Single-arm TV mounts only allow you to move your television horizontally (from right to left), while dual-arm TV mounts allow you to move your television horizontally, to change the angle, and to adjust the length of the dual arm. The arm is actually extendable, offering maximum freedom in terms of the TV position.
