How to Choose the Right LCD TV Mount

Usually, LCD televisions come with a tabletop stand as its standard accessory. You can make use of this stand right away or replace it if you have a better table or cabinet that suits your newly purchased television perfectly. For flat panel televisions, this is one of the options that you can consider.

But because of the simplicity of such 4-inch deep panels, a number of LCD mounting alternatives have emerged. They range from stylish pedestal stands with shelf support for AV gear, to wall-type tilting and swivel-arm TV mounts, to LCD TV ceiling mounts.

But whatever type of mount you choose, be sure that it comes with a mounting hole pattern that is VESA compliant. It is simply the standard measurement for flat-panel LCD TV mounts. There is the VESA 50, 75, and 100 as standard mounts and the VESA 200 for large-sized LCD TV models.

So which mounting type should you choose?

You can opt for a pedestal stand if the floor space will not be an issue. There is the pedestal-type floor stand that fits LCD TVs better than usual cabinets and tabletops. This type of television mounting is easy and is perfect for those with limited DIY skills. No need to drill holes in the walls since all you have to do is assemble the stand and position it to where you want your viewing area to be.

Another option would be to hang your flat screen on the wall through the use of wall mounts. There are several wall mount options that you can choose from. The three common wall mounts are standard fixed wall mount, tilting wall mount, and the articulated swivel-arm mount.

The fixed LCD mounts are the cheapest and the easiest to install. However, you may soon experience problems in cable connection because of the fixed feature of this type of mount. But if you have considered attaching cables of devices that you may use in the future, then you'll have no problems.

The tilted and articulated-arm types add a little texture to the overall look of your mounted screen. It also has an advantage when it comes to cable connections because the interconnecting options are open. You can add more cables anytime you need to connect a device. There is also an option to change the viewing angle for a more comfortable home viewing.

Just remember to consider the weight and height of your LCD television when choosing a wall mount. Although your flat screen television may be extremely thin, its immense size still adds to its weight. Do not hesitate to ask professional assistance especially if you are choosing ceiling mounts or just wall mounting. Whatever it is that you choose, remember to consider safety first before style.

• Cable Management
• Aluminum and Glass Construction

Cheetah Mounts AS2S 2 Shelf Wall Mount Bracket for LCD, LED and Plasma TV with Cable Management System Overview

The AS2S is a bi-shelf cable management system. It can be used with or without a Plasma/LCD mount. This unit is designed to fit under your display and provide an on wall solution for other components such as cable boxes, DVD players, game consoles, and stereo components. There are three 2 1/4-Inch holes on the aluminum plate. These holes allow you to cleanly run your cables up to your TV or down to another component, as well as out the bottom to an outlet. After reviewing our competition we realized that most shelving units need to be mounted directly into a wall stud. In most cases the wall stud is placed to the right or to the left of the display, which is not where most people prefer to have their shelves mounted. This is still the most secure option however, after significant research we’ve found that using the correct toggle bolts can allow you to mount your shelving unit wherever you see fit. With the combination of four of these toggle bolts, the shelving unit is able to hold well over 70LBS safely. Each individual toggle bolt provides 75lbs of support. Please note a good toggle bolt is still only as good as the quality of the drywall it is mounted to. If you have water damage or ¼-Inch drywall please add a support for your shelving unit.

Tips For Mounting a Flat Screen TV

A variety of flat screen TV wall mounts are available at home appliance stores or on the Internet. Wall mounts are important accessories as they can really enhance your TV-viewing experience. If you get an incompatible TV wall mount or you fix one incorrectly, you may not have the best viewing experience and you don't want to risk having your TV fall onto the floor and breaking. The following are some easy tips that would help you find or fix a wall mount in the best possible manner.

Check Out the Specs

Ceiling Mounts Tv

Before rushing to the store or clicking on the "add to shopping cart" button, make sure that you understand the wall-mount specifications of your TV. They're usually mentioned in the user manual of your flat screen TV. The specifications of the TV wall mount that you purchase or have should also be read thoroughly. The wall mount needs to match the screen size of the television.

Normally, a particular mount is ideal for holding a TV within a specified range of screen size. For example, some wall mounts have a 26-50 screen size, which means these mounts are ideal for holding a TV screen within the size range of 26 inches to 50 inches. Another aspect is the weight capacity. Make sure that the weight capacity is more than the actual weight of the TV.

Flat TV screens come with pre-drilled holes on the back. Caps made of plastic or some other material sometimes cover these holes behind the TV. You have to remove these caps before mounting the TV. Use a screwdriver or a small knife to remove the caps. An important aspect here is the distance between the holes. These will be located at the corners of either a square or a rectangle. The TV wall mount should have mounting holes at the same distance.

You can get an idea about this distance from the VESA (Video Electronics Standard Association) standard. For example, VESA 75 means the holes are at the corners of a square with a side 75 mm long. VESA 100/200 means the holes are at the corners of a rectangle with the sides 100 mm and 200 mm long. Check the VESA rating of your flat screen TV and make sure that the VESA standard of the wall mount is compatible with that of the TV.

Finding The Best Spot on the Wall

Aesthetic and interior decoration plays a part in finding the right place for mounting the flat screen TV. However, one has to give more importance to the viewing angle. You can see the best picture when the TV screen is at a direct, head-on angle. A sideways angle often spoils the picture clarity.

The height of the mount is also an important factor. The TV should be placed at a spot slightly higher than eye level. You can find an ideal location after some trial and error. Also, when finding a spot on the wall to place the flat wall mounts, you should make sure that it's devoid of any kind of glare. That would be bad.

Take your time and you'll be sure to be proud of your work. You'll enjoy watching shows, movies and sports in no time. Good luck with your project!

3D TV - Do You Really Need It?

Congratulations! You have just made the decision to buy a home theater system, or perhaps you have one already and are thinking of upgrading. One of your big decisions may be whether to buy a 3D television? But do you really need one; and just what is there to watch in 3D anyway?

Ceiling Mounts Tv

3D technology is till relatively new, although several major television manufacturers are offering this option, including Mitsubishi and Samsung. Other major electronics manufacturers, such as Sony, Panasonic and Philips have plans to offer 3D television this year or next. One advantage of waiting for 3D television is that, like most other types of new technology, the price will almost certainly go down over time.

Ceiling Mounts Tv

If you do invest in a 3D television, you still have to wear a special pair of glasses in order to get the effect, which some people, especially those who wear prescription glasses anyway, can find uncomfortable. The TV companies would like to be able to offer the feature without having to wear special glasses and it's simply a question of when this will happen.

If you aren't technologically minded, you may find it confusing that there are actually different types of 3D television available, although most experts consider so-called active shutter technology to be the best option. You still have to wear special glasses, although this option has the advantage that your existing system doesn't need to be significantly modified; it's also less expensive than other options.

However, you will need to replace the batteries in the glasses every so often with the active shutter system. This may be an issue if you watch a lot of TV or plan to invite a group of friends over to see your new toy. And of course, you don't want a dead battery in the middle of the big game.

Before you rush out and buy a 3D television, you should be aware that there is not that much on at the moment to watch in three dimensions, although all that will probably change in the next year or two. Direct TV has just introduced three 3D channels and the sports channel ESPN is offering the 2010 World Cup. And even if you are just watching in the standard two dimensions, some 3D televisions provide better picture quality anyway.

3D television is undoubtedly here to stay and three things are fairly certain: the quality of the product will improve, prices will go down and there will be more programming available. Whether you need to have 3D TV now is something only you can decide. Many people consider it gimmicky and the effect is wasted on talk shows and news programs. But there's no doubt that sporting events, travel shows and blockbuster movies can look better in three dimensions, rather than two.

EMI Interference on Your Large Screen HDTV

Sometimes a poor or less than perfect picture is not the fault of your large screen HDTV.
The wavy or static looking lines are due to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). EMI is usually surrounding electric motors. That is why running a vacuum cleaner or a kitchen mixer that is poorly shielded, will cause disturbance in the picture and is noticeably a bad noise in the sound too. Any surrounding equipment that interferes with the operation of another electrical or electronic device produces EMI. You can protect your large screen HDTV by following a few simple guidelines.

Ceiling Mounts Tv

EMI is often confused with RFI, Radio Frequency Interference. Your large screen HDTV is built to keep in RFI, but perhaps not as well designed to keep EMI out. The foil shielding on the inside of the TV cabinet does a fair job of keeping the RFI from affecting another appliance but in efforts to save weight it has less protection than the older TV's with metal chassis shielding. This is why the instruction manual that came with your TV might say: "To avoid picture noise (interference), leave adequate distance between the VCR and TV." Also some VCR manuals request that you not rest the VCR on top of the TV. Both suggestions can help to avoid picture distortion.

Ceiling Mounts Tv

Some picture interference can be avoided with a good ground when connecting the TV to an electrical outlet. People usually identify this with safety from electrical shock. While this is true, it also helps with EMI interference as well. If you are having a consistent problem you might need an isolated circuit or even an isolation transformer to shield the interference. Most of the new Surge Protectors that are recommended for lightning and bad weather problems also have extra grounding and shielding protection.

The best way to avoid EMI and RFI interference around your Large Screen HDTV is to keep all other appliances (especially motor driven appliances) away from the screen and make sure you have the TV properly grounded and use an isolated surge protector with the correct rating.

TV Shelving - 4 Great Ideas For Incorporating the TV Into Your Living Space

TV shelving has undergone somewhat of a design revolution recently, as bulky televisions transform into home entertainment systems with sleek plasma TVs and surround-sound speaker systems.

Ceiling Mounts Tv

What worked as a home entertainment center in the past, just doesn't fit the new media look.

Ceiling Mounts Tv

So what are the newest ideas for TV shelving?

Idea 1: Corner TV Shelves
With today's screens averaging between 32 and 37 inches, they're around 10 inches larger than a decade ago. With that in mind, you can either make the TV the focus of the room, or take a more unusual route and place it in a corner unit. Corner TV shelving units save space and take the focus away from the TV and back into the center. Again, it's a matter of personal preference, but many families are trending towards sidelining the large screens into a more defined space.

Idea 2: TV Swivel Shelves
Depending on how you arrange your furniture, you may want to position the TV out of the way, but yet available for easy viewing. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is to place your television on a swivel shelf which can shift the screen from one angle to another with almost no effort. That way, your entertainment is available when you want it, and conveniently facing in another direction when you don't.

For those of you for whom actually getting up to turn the TV around is too much like hard work, feel free to indulge your inertial by buying the latest and greatest TV swivel shelf - the version that comes complete with a motorized swivel and a remote control.

Idea 3: Wall Mounted TV Shelves
With the latest plasma and LCD screens, mounting your TV on a wall and saving floor space is a popular choice. Apart from taking on a role as wall art, your viewing pleasure is also protected from banana sandwiches, chocolate fingers and other toddler pleasures. Strictly speaking not shelving, wall mounts are available as flat mounts, some with an optional tilt for better viewing angles, and swing arms which allow the screen to be swiveled.

Idea 4: Hide the TV Altogether
Now that screens are just so large, many people want to hide them away when they're not in use. I've seen some ingenious installations recently, including a TV hidden behind fake artwork above a fireplace mantle shelf. When a button is pressed, the artwork rolls up leaving just the frame, and the TV moves forward from its secret hiding place to replace the painting. Beautiful in its simplicity and perfect in its execution.

Of course there is another alternative, dare I suggest it: Get rid of the TV altogether. Somehow I don't predict that one as a trend to watch out for.

Should I Use a TV Mount Or TV Stand

It is too hard sometimes to decide how you want your entertainment room to look. With the ever changing world of technology and audio video equipment getting thinner we tend to want the latest and greatest. Such is the case for most people and that includes the very popular plasma television. There are many decisions to be made when choosing a new plasma TV not the least of which is figuring out how to set it up in your room. Do you want it to sit on a stand like your existing TV probably does or do you wanna mount it on the wall like so many are doing as of late.

Ceiling Mounts Tv

The first thing to do is decide on what size TV because chances are it wont fit in your existing entertainment center, not to mention it probably doesn't go with the new TV color anyway. It is a hard decision to make because when a TV is mounted on the wall it becomes part of the room and gives a very clean look like a picture frame that belongs there. As long as wiring can be hidden cleanly and there is no clutter hanging is a preferred method in my opinion. It takes makes for more room in you living room or entertainment room for other things and gets the large TV out of the way.

Ceiling Mounts Tv

The drawback to mounting is that you have to consider where you wanna put the receiver. Almost everyone either has satellite or a high def box from your local cable provider, either way you have to use a receiver box and that will have to sit somewhere. It could perhaps hang underneath the TV itself cleanly or sit on a table or small stand on the ground underneath. Mounting above a fireplace mantle is a great place to hang your new plasma TV just make sure you account for wall fishing the wires. It can be tricky if you have a chimney to deal with cause you cannot run wires easily without drilling into the chimney. That can be costly to say the least.

TV stands are a great way to house wiring and store your media and if you have the room in your living room to do so I would recommend a nice name brand TV stand that makes your room decor and your new TV that much better to look at.
