Universal Mounts vs. Institution Mounts

Television Remote

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

Consider the Studs

Plasma and Lcd screens are heavy you need to make sure you have wall studs or a ceiling joist if you plan to hang the Tv from the ceiling. If you have general (16" spacing) wood studs most mounts will work properly. If however, you have 24" spacing you will need to look at mounts that have a lateral shift adjustment. Hardware kits are ready or included for installations intriguing wood studs, metal, cinder blocks, and solid concrete.

Family Room, Bedroom, or Basement

Most Lcd or Plasma Tvs are mounted in a family room for recreational viewing. In this case screen sizes are normally 37" or above. Where do you want to mount the flat panel tv?
Above the Fireplace Mounting the Tv above a fireplace is a good option for utilizing space in your family room. However, we would only propose this option if you are able to sit at least 10 feet away from the Tv. You should reconsider buying a "tilt mount", this enables you to adjust/tilt the Tv to the best viewing angle. In a Corner In today's homes many family rooms are filled with windows and have little wall space. In this case, we propose mounting the Tv in a angle of the room and use a swing arm mount to adjust the viewing angle. You can then mount the Tv at a Institution viewing height and swivel the Tv to the best viewing position. On Opposing Wall In this case you can use a static mount or tilt mount. If you plan on mounting the Tv higher than eye level then you should use a 'tilt mount' so you can adjust the viewing angle. If you plan to mount the Tv at eye level, than you can use a 'static mount'. You could simulate the mounted tv by using string or masking tape on the wall and then conclude which plasma or lcd mount to use. Table Top Mount If you don't have adequate wall space, angle space, or a fireplace you would reconsider using table top mount. Many buyer Plasma's and Lcd's come with a table top mount. Table top mounts are located on top of home entertainment furniture and contribute a basic mounting option. Most commercial plasma's do not include a table top mount, in this case you will need to buy a table top mount and a piece of furniture to place the plasma or Lcd. Home Theater Entertainment Centers Do to the high inquire of the flat panel tv market, most entertainment centers now have an optional back panel to mount a plasma or Lcd tv. Remember if you mount your plasma on a wall you'll need to store your Av tool somewhere and if you don't have a colse to storehouse cabinet you may need to use Audio video furniture. If you are hiding your av tool be sure to have a way of sending ir remote commands to the equipment. You can achieve this by using an rf remote or using an extender kit.
Smaller Rooms, The Kitchen, The exercise Room, A Den
The Kitchen The kitchen is most likely for screen sizes smaller than 20 inches. The most tasteless mount for kitchen applications is a mount that attaches to the bottom of a cabinet. An under the cabinet mount is a great space saver, because it allows for you to flip the Tv up and out of the way when it is not in use. Exercise Room or Den The exercise area or Den is good place for Lcd or Plasma Tv, and we propose a tilted wall mount or an articulating mount. This is all based on the room size and placement of exercise tool or furniture in your room.
Commercial Applications

The most tasteless commercial applications involve a ceiling mount that can be lowered into the allowable viewing height with extension columns. Buying a ceiling mount takes some notion based on the space, the drop of the mount, and a joist to join together to. We offer a collection of mounting accessories that allow for specific applications. Many restaurants and bars use plasma screens because of the wide viewing angle and brightness. In this case, a mixture of ceiling, corner, wall, and articulating mounts may need to be used.
