If you’ve researched wall-mounting a plasma or LCD television you’ve undoubtedly noticed there are several different types of wall-mounts available for the task. Each of these mounts serves a different mounting purpose so we’ll run them down one by one. The most common type of wall-mount is the standard non-tilt “flat” mount, what you see is what you get here, the TV mounted on the wall, no muss, no fuss.
From there you get into the low-profile wall-mounts which in a nutshell give you a slimmer, tighter fit to the wall, sometimes as little as an inch and a half gap between the wall and display. Moving to something a little fancier there are the tilting mounts. A wall-mount with tilt allows you to do just what the name implies, tilt the display up or down a few degrees which can be really handy for finding that just right angle and or tilting the display to avoid glare.
Moving right along into the swivel mounts you gain the ability to pan the television left and right up to 45 degrees, and in most cases these mounts also tilt up and down by 15 degrees. Obviously the tilt/swivel mounts afford a level of flexibility not possible with other mounts but they aren’t necessarily the best value. In other words there is nothing inherently valuable about a wall-mount that can tilt and swivel if you don’t need it to do so. Pick the right mount for the right job and leave the bells and whistles for new cars.
