Wall Mounting

FIXED TV MOUNTING BRACKETS

The most popular TV bracket, a fixed bracket does as the same suggests secures the TV to the wall in a fixed position. There are actually many different types of fixed mounting brackets but I won’t go down that rabbit hole as it is unlikely to hugely affect your TV wall mounting quotes. A Fixed bracket is usually the cheapest option but, in my opinion, usually looks the best for when you’re only watching the TV in a single location as you can usually get the TV very close to the wall which helps create a eye pleasing result and better conceal the connecting cables. It was common in the past to install a tilting bracket instead of a fixed mount to angle towards your viewing position as with some older screen technologies, when you were not looking at the screen straight on it would appear very dark and difficult to see. A tilting wall bracket will help in situations like this but is not always necessary with modern back lit LED TV’s.

TILTING WALL BRACKETS

A tilting wall bracket will allow the wall mounted TV to be angled down of up to your viewing position. This can help to create optimum viewing angles for when a TV is installed high up on all wall. Which is very common with wall mounting screens in bedrooms and TV’s mounted above fireplaces. This also can really help when you have a slightly older flat screen TV that appears dark or faded when you’re not looking directly straight. A tilting TV wall bracket can also help when you need to get rid of annoying light reflections which may be coming from sunlight through windows or for when you need to fit something behind the TV, like a plug point for the TV itself as typically the TV bracket to allow for the tilting action will naturally sit further away from the wall.Some of the higher quality TV wall mounts, like the Sanus tilting wall brackets will still only sit a few millimetres away from the wall when not in a tilting position.

THE SIZE OF THE TV

The size of the TV you would like to mount to wall can affect your TV wall mounting price. This can be because a smaller TV can be safely mounted with one professional installer, whereas larger TV’s and heavier TV’s will often require two TV installers to safely lift it and secure it in position. Another reason why this may affect the cost of your installation is because often extra techniques may be required to safely mount your TV to the wall. Like plywood installed behind plasterboard or specialist fixings may be required.It is also worth noting that generally speaking larger TV’s just take longer to mount, from getting the TV itself out of the box to fixing the bracket to the TV.

Finally, the brackets required for larger TV’s generally cost more than that of those required for smaller TVs. This is particularly evident on full motion wall brackets where there could be a hundred of dollars difference between your TV wall mounting quotes.

FULL MOTION WALL BRACKETS

A full motion TV mounting bracket allows the TV to be rotated around and moved in different directions away from the wall. The cost of a full motion wall bracket can range dramatically between manufacturers and this is something you should not look to save money on, as many of the cheaper brackets can really fall off level when extended out which can look awful and make actually getting the TV into an acceptable and agreeable “level” TV position a nightmare.Aside from the quality of the TV mounting manufacturer, there are also a wide range of differences of between full motion wall brackets, these include:
Single or double arm movement

A single arm full motion wall bracket will only usually pivot in one of two places, this means that you do not have much freedom of movement. Personally, I do waste time with them and opt for a double arm mount as this will give you a greater freedom of movement.

How far it extends away from the wall

This is particularly important to note if you need to rotate the TV at a right angle or close to the wall as the bracket will need to extend far enough away from the wall to allow this. Not all brackets will allow you to extend far enough to do this so this is something you will need to check if it’s something you desire and you should never trust the TV box itself if it says it’s correct for your size of TV.
