Understanding TV Mount Types:

Fixed Mounts: 

These are the simplest type of mounts, keeping your TV in a stationary position, flush against the wall. Ideal for rooms where your seating area is directly in front of the TV. For those who prefer a streamlined look and have a dedicated viewing area. The Sanus Low Profile Mount is a great choice for its sturdy build and easy installation.

Tilting Mounts: 

These mounts allow you to tilt the screen vertically, reducing glare and improving the viewing angle. Perfect for TVs mounted above the average eye level, like over a fireplace. The Sanus Advanced Tilt Premium 4D Premium TV Mount stands out as our favorite mount, for its extended tilt range and universal compatibility, making it a great option for reducing glare. This Sanus mount also can extend away from the wall when you need to plug in cables and other AV equipment. This mount also has a fine level adjustment that many of the less expensive mounts do not have. 

Full-Motion Mounts: 

Offering the most flexibility, these mounts allow you to tilt, swivel, and extend your TV. Ideal for rooms with multiple viewing spots.For ultimate flexibility, the Sanus Premium Full Motion TV Mount is a top pick. It offers smooth extension, tilt, and swivel capabilities, accommodating almost any viewing angle.

Other Factors to Consider:

• TV Size and Weight: Ensure the mount can support the size and weight of your TV. Sanus mounts list compatible screen sizes and weight limits.

• VESA Compatibility: This refers to the distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV. Check that the mount matches your TV’s VESA pattern.

• Wall Type: Not all mounts are suitable for every wall type. Sanus provides mounts designed for various wall materials, including drywall, concrete, and brick. Their wider wall brackets can accommodate all standard wood and metal stud spacing. Some less expensive mounts you might find on Amazon are not wide enough to accommodate studs spaced at more than 16”. This is also important if there are no studs in the exact location where you want to place your TV. Having the wider wall bracket solves this problem in most cases.

• Cable Management: Consider how the mount accommodates cables. Sanus mounts often include cable management solutions for a clean setup. We also offer behind-the-wall cable concealment solutions as well. 

• Ease of Installation: Look for mounts with straightforward installation processes. Sanus mounts come with cardboard wall bracket templates and the necessary hardware. As mentioned earlier, Sanus mounts also have wider wall brackets, are extendable for easy access to cables and AV components, and a fine leveling adjustment so your TV is perfectly level. 

Conclusion:

Choosing the right TV mount involves considering the type of mount, your TV’s specifications, and the layout of your room. Sanus offers a range of high-quality mounts catering to different needs and preferences. By following these guidelines, you can select a mount that enhances your viewing experience and complements your space.

Remember, the right mount not only supports your TV securely but also transforms your viewing into an immersive experience.
