Wall Mount: Plasma TV Tips

Stands and Mounts is dedicated to ensuring a secure connection between your television set and your wall. Improperly mounted sets hold the potential for absolute disaster. The wall mount plasma TV owners will want to use is a specially-designed system for keeping flat screen and plasma TVs invulnerable to such catastrophic accidents.

Flat screen plasma TVs are convenient because they don’t take up as much space in a room. To minimize further the amount of space they take up, you’ll want a television wall mounting bracket. This will keep your TV flush against the wall, obscuring its presence when you aren’t using it and allowing you maximum enjoyment when you are.

The wall mount plasma TV owners use is different from the standard television wall mounting bracket. Typically the standard unit consists of a platform on which your TV may rest, along with metal arms to anchor it into the wall securely or to let it hang from above. Many of the mounts available at Stands and Mounts also feature the following:

• Heavy-gauge steel construction
• Weight capacity up to 175lbs.
• Various tilt and swivel functionality
• Retaining lips to prevent sliding
• Wall plates and other mounting hardware
• Capability to hold TVs as large as 65 inches
• Choice of black, silver, or other finishes

Usually these wall mounts for the standard tube televisions sets do weigh substantially more than their flat screen counterparts. There are generally more parts, and the designs are bulkier to accommodate the larger, bulkier TV sets. Since the mounts for flat screen TVs have fewer parts, and attach at the back to run level with the wall, they normally do not weigh as much.
