Fixed, Tilting or Full-Motion TV Mount?

Compare three TV bracket styles from your usual seats, then check which models fit the TV and wall.

Choose the bracket style from the places you watch. A centered couch, a high screen and a corner setup each call for different movement.

Fixed for a straight-on view

A fixed bracket keeps the TV close to the wall. It can suit a couch directly in front of the screen at a comfortable height. Check whether you will still be able to reach the ports you use.

Tilting when the screen sits high

A tilting bracket can angle the screen toward your seated view. It may also help with glare, depending on where the light hits. Check the model’s tilt range rather than assuming every bracket moves the same way.

Full motion for more than one seat

An arm that extends and swivels can help if you watch from different parts of the room. Think about the space between the screen and nearby walls or furniture as it moves.

Once you have a style in mind, check the model’s supported TV weight, hole pattern and wall type. Bring the TV model and a room photo when you ask about TV mounting.
