Take Your TV Experience to the Next Level with Articulating Wall Mounts
There are many benefits that one can gain from an articulating wall mount, and among them is the fact that it helps save space. Traditional TV tables can eat floor spaces that reduce room for more seats. With the use of this tool, TVs can now be mounted on a wall allowing more seat spaces or capacity in a rather small room. This tool is also best for rooms where seating positions are not symmetrically relative to the TV and viewing is needed in extreme angles. Best viewing angles can be achieved by moving it horizontally in two directions and can also be tilted in a certain angle. The word ‘articulating' in this tool's name simply means that this tool is designed and created to function like a person's arms.
Articulating wall mounts are best in large retail show rooms, exhibitions, and even in houses that have small family entertainment rooms. Because it is also describe as extendable like movable arms, some models are designed to extend up to 15.25" to 24" in length. Also, most models have a capacity to carry a load of up to 80 pounds. Aside from these features, this tool also has the ability to swivel 180 degrees, providing good viewing angles. And not only does this tool work best for TVs, it is also a favorite among flat screens (both TV and computer monitors).
Installing this tool in your home is also fairly easy. All you have to do is find the best position in the room for this bracket and mark and drill stud locations in the wall. Once the holes are drilled, open the mount in its full and articulated position and insert and secure the 4 mounting bolts in the holes by using a socket wrench. Then by finding and using the four small bolt receiving holes, secure the mount to the rear of the TV set. Line-up the mount with these holes and insert the screws included. You need to tighten these screws with the appropriate screwdriver. Finally, close the mount to its closed position and lift the TV set on the mount. Also, ensure that all straps, set screws, and bars are secured to prevent the TV from sliding off the mount.
Types of articulating wall mounts varies in size and major types are usually available for 10'' to 22" TVs. There are also a lot of good brands in the market to choose from, so you are not limited to a handful of models only. Installing these wall mounts is also fairly easy, since instructions are always included when you buy one. All you have to do is choose the right model for your TV and your viewing experience is guaranteed to be the best you'll ever have.
