It’s recommended that you buy a custom mount, if a model is available, for your Plasma or LCD. Why a custom mount? It’s guaranteed to fit the Tv Mount whereas universal mounts only fit 90% of the time. The custom option also makes the side and back of the TV less cluttered than a universal mount.

Make sure the mount is VESA compliant. “VESA” stands for “Video Electronics Standards Association”. VESA promotes and develops relevant, open standards for display manufacturers and the display mounting industry. Using a VESA compliant mount will help to ensure that your computer is mounted correctly.

Of course, this will depend on the layout of the room, but you should decide a few things before proceeding. You must consider things like where the critical viewing seats will be, if you’d like to be able to watch the TV from different areas in the room or just a central seating area, what type of light do you have in the room, what’s behind the wall where you’d like to mount it, and where the rest of your equipment will be.

You might not need to reinforce the mounts insertion point into your wall either. LCD’s are also easier to transport in the event of a move, plasma screens are notorious for cracking/crushing under their own weight when not transported properly.

One of the most commonly asked questions is what size Tv Wall Mounts to get. Selecting the proper TV size is very important and should not be overlooked. Whenever talking about the screen size remember televisions are measured diagonally (bottom left corner to upper right corner). This assumption should always be made when measuring unless specifically stated otherwise. The biggest thing to consider is how far the majority of viewers will be from the screen. Keep in mind that after mounting your television the majority of screens will sit about 3 inches off the wall. Measure how far your seating is from the wall you plan to mount your screen to.
