Although there are numerous benefits to TV mounts, some styles are preferable over others based on your room’s layout, the spot where you are planning to hang your television, and where you will mostly be sitting. Although the optimal viewing height is considered the center of the display at eye level, many Lehi residents consider this to be way too low for a wall mount. Thankfully, they can customize the exact positioning with our professional Lehi TV mounting services. There are also different materials you can opt for if you’re especially choosy: brass, steel, acrylic plastic, and aluminum. Here are the three main styles you can choose from:
Fixed
This style of TV mounting is generic, but it sits the most flush with the wall, the mount itself is hidden in plain sight and discreetly behind your television. It is good for smaller and confined spaces and is the more affordable option. Plus, there are mounts available for larger and heavier widescreen TVs. One drawback is that it gives very limited space to run wires across the backside of your television. So depending on your socket location or inputs on the back, you can run into wiring issues, for example, with cables being bent waywardly to fit properly. As a result, the cables or cords can be damaged by fraying and splitting open, rendering them useless.
Tilting
A tilting mount is great for angling your TV downward, especially if you are aiming to set your TV higher up on the wall. And so this sort of TV mounting allows for the best and optimal viewing angle once you are seated, especially if you are sitting directly in front of your television itself. Best of all, you can adjust its angle enough so that it reduces any glare that flashes across the screen. The only drawback is that if you don’t rely on an expert technician for a Lehi TV mounting service, you risk the TV falling flat on its face due to an extra gravitational pull on the screen. It’s also a pricier option compared to its fixed counterpart.
Full Motion Mount
This mount offers the most versatility as it has multiple pivot points which allow you to extend, tilt, swivel, and rotate your television in every which way. For example, a full motion mount allows you to extend your TV apart from the wall and move it from left to right. Doing so gives you a better viewing angle regardless of if you're sitting, standing, or off to the side a good distance away from the screen. This type would work great for your kitchen or in a corner or recessed space, and if a full-motion mount is extended, it showcases this cool floating TV effect. The only drawback is that being the most innovative kind of mount, it comes with the highest price tag, so it’s up to you to determine if the extra movement is worth the added expense.
