5 Things to Consider When Choosing an Articulating Wall Mount

An Articulating Wall Mount system can be the ideal solution to offering you the perfect viewing position for your Widescreen Television, regardless of whether it’s a plasma or LCD monitor.

But before you launch yourself into choosing which one does the best job for your own viewing needs, there are few things you might want to consider:

1.    What are the surfaces to be used when attaching the TV mounting device?

2.    How much space is there available in the specific room?

3.    What is the weight of your screen?

4.    How much can you move the screen in order to deliver a perfect viewing position?

5.    At what level of elevation is the screen going to lift?
Once you have taken all these things into account, you can start looking for an Articulating Wall Mount device that fits your particular situation.

Together with answers to the above questions you should consider the general benefits of an Articulating Wall Mount System because a properly designed system presents great flexibility and has many possibilities that allow it to be adjusted according to your viewing requirements.

Consider the various options available such as the possibility of folding it up and hiding the whole system away in a wall cavity (of course, be aware that depth of TV plasma or LCD monitor mount can add an extra 3-4″ to the depth to be hidden.)

While searching the web sites that display articulating wall mount devices for your TV screen, you will come across mounts that turn (either right or left) up to 120 degrees or more, that tilt through more than 10 to 15 degrees in an upward/ downward position, some that are not even wall mounts but which allow the TV to be mounted from the ceiling and yet provide perfect horizontal viewing.

Carefully consider the advantages these various articulating wall mounts present. A good place to start your search is by browsing through the web pages of various manufacturers, such as : Hercules, Cheetah, Peerless, Opteka, Chief, Creative Concepts and many others.

Depending on the particular design, on the new technology introduced into the specific features of the wall mounting system; as well as on the material that is used in their construction, a good Articulating Wall Mount will cost from between $100 – $1500.

When you consider the fact that there often isn’t too much difference between a cheaper wall mount and an expensive one when it comes to functionality, (the difference lays more in design and stylizing features rather than in functionality), you can afford to buy a device which suits your budjet.

Therefore spoil yourself with an Articulating Wall Mount system for your Television screen if you want to have a perfect viewing position.
