But… Unless you have some restriction with the additional increase in depth resulting from the use of adjustable wall mounts, try to avoid using fixed LCD TV mounts. It is true that these are the easiest to install, and in the case of LED TVs, these provide a more aesthetically pleasing mounting solution.
However, once you lower your LCD TV in place, it would be difficult if not impossible to manage the inputs at the back of your television especially with slim-type fixed wall mounts. In most cases, you will have to remove the LCD TV from the wall bracket each time you need to pass a new cable. Tilting and swiveling wall mounts add a bit more depth to the overall wall mount than fixed-type LCD TV mounts. The tilting wall mount shown on the right is approximately 3-inches in depth as against the less than 2-inches for a standard fixed-type wall mount.
But these mounts leave your interconnecting options open as they will enable you to add more cables to support new gear later without having to remove the LCD display panel from the supporting bracket. These LCD wall mounts are best suited where the ideal mounting height is not feasible. A swiveling bracket allows also for a change in the horizontal viewing angle. Through the proper adjustment of the LCD panel, it is possible to improve the viewing experience while minimizing glare problems.
Articulated-arm LCD TV mounts provide for even better positioning of the LCD panel while maintaining all the benefits associated with tilting and swiveling mounts. However, these types of wall mounts are somewhat more expensive than fixed or tilting LCD wall mounts. If everything seems stable, then go ahead and turn on your new television for a test run!
One last step before you can turn on your television would be to make sure that all screws are securely tightened and bolts attached. If everything seems stable, go ahead and attach brackets onto either side of your televisions frame and secure it with bolts on each side and at the top and bottom.
Before you go ahead and tighten any more bolts or screws, make sure to put up a level. This will ensure that everything is installed correctly before you continue with the installation process!
Once this has been completed, then your TV should be ready for viewing! Make sure it feels stable after turning it on before leaving the room for long periods. In other words, this is at least a two-person job.
Finally, you need to know how to follow through the installation instructions that come with your TV and the LCD mount itself. This in itself is purely subjective, yet there are a few considerations that come into play. The main issue here is that what you will be hanging on the wall, or in that case even on a pedestal stand, is not a framed picture, but a TV.
While LCD TV screens tend to be easier on the eye than plasma TVs when used in brightly lit rooms due to their inherent anti-glare technology, yet any bright source of light shining onto the screen surface will still ruin your viewing experience. As expressed in our plasma installation guide, the best way to decide before installing your LCD mount is to make a note of how sunlight travels across the room you plan to use.
Try to place your seating along the wall where light hits and your flat-panel screen on the opposite wall. The next consideration is available wall space, or floor area in case of a pedestal-type LCD mount. Try to find enough clearance. Typically, you need a minimum of twice the screen width. For a high-definition LCD TV, this should theoretically be between 2 to 3 times the screen width; please check our TV Viewing Distance guide for more information on this subject.
If you do not have the available space for your screen size, either go for a smaller screen, or try a diagonal placement for your TV and seating arrangement. Note that while the above should help you identify a suitable spot for your LCD TV, at the same, keep in mind that the ultimate placement of your TV is one that best suits your needs and room decor.
In other words, go for a placement that you feel comfortable with. There are a number of considerations that relate to the TV height. You should aim at a height that proves comfortable on your neck from your viewing position when seated. As detailed in our TV Viewing Distance article, the guideline is that the maximum vertical angle of view should not exceed 35 degrees.
The maximum vertical angle refers to the maximum vertical angle as measured at the eye height with the viewer is seated at the front-row center-seat, to the topmost part of the screen. Note that this represents the maximum vertical setting, not the ideal vertical placement.
For the best viewing position, the center of the screen should be at eye level when seated. This is the position that will result in a minimum of eye and neck movement during TV viewing. Many consider this as excessively low placement for a wall-mounted display. Keep in mind however that here we are dealing with a TV not a framed picture. LCD Televisions have been coming out bigger, better and cheaper!
Unfortunately, the vast choice available often makes selecting an LCD television a rather difficult task. Help is on the way! We are also publishing a number of flat-panel TV installation guides that should enable anyone with basic DIY skills, achieve a professional installation job.
U p to not long ago, you had no choice for a direct-view TV; all sets were of the same kind, using old but reliable cathode-ray tube technology. That is no longer the case. It is true that these are relatively massive TVs on the cheap, but do not expect a superior picture at this price bracket from such massive LED TVs; both brands have their share of issues with picture quality.
However… if you are looking for an inexpensive TV with a massive screen, both Vizio and Sharp deliver! This inch upper limit for plasma TVs is rather strange as plasma TV technology still carries a price and picture quality advantage over LED TVs at these larger sizes, though with present pricing, the plasma price advantage is vanishing fast even at the larger screen size. At the same time, we have to remark that LED TVs have their advantages — most important is their significantly lower power consumption, a much higher contrast ratio, and yes… an excellent overall picture quality.
