Sanus Wall Mount

Many TVs, including plasma screens and LCDs, can be mounted on a wall. Some of the TVs are made only for wall mounting and others have a base so they can also be placed in an entertainment center. There are some things you should think about before deciding if you will mount your TV on the wall or if you will place it in an entertainment center.

Identification

TVs that can be mounted on the wall are usually thin, flat-screen models that have mounting brackets or holes on the back of the television.

Function

A wall-mounted TV is ideal for a small room in which there isn't room for a full entertainment center.

Size

Wall mounted TVs are available in sizes as small as 13 inches and some larger than 108 inches.

Considerations

Plasma TVs are considerably heavier than LCD TVs, which makes them more difficult to mount. In most cases, professional installation is required.

Warning

Make sure the mounts are anchored into a stud to prevent the TV from falling, because the warranty on wall mounted TVs doesn't cover damage due to improper mounting.
