This blog was written and uploaded after receiving numerous customer service calls requesting that we provide opinions over the phone for television location and mount types. I compiled as much info into a few paragraphs, so please excuse my briefness. I hope that you find this helpful in making a decision with mounting your new flat-screen TV!

***Low Profile Mount
Typically, low-profile TV wall mount brackets are the easiest to install and the lowest in cost compared to tilting and full-motion wall mounts.
The wall mounting process for a low-profile mount is about as difficult as hanging a picture on the wall. This ease of installation comes with a price -- an inability to adjust the TV once it’s installed.
That’s right, low-profile mounts don’t tilt and they don‘t move up/down or left/right. This lack of movement also makes it complicated when trying to switch out cables. Since the flat panel doesn’t move on it’s wall mount, you’ll have to physically remove the flat panel from the wall in order to change out cables. We install recessed electrical outlets to avoid running into the power cord bend.

***Tilting Wall Mount
Typically, tilting TV wall mount brackets cost a little more than a low-profile wall mount, and are more comparable in cost to a full-motion wall mount.
Tilting wall mounts should install with the same level of ease as a low-profile mount. The only significant difference between a tilting wall mount and a low-profile wall mount is that you can adjust the vertical viewing angle when using a tilting wall mount to reduce glare and eye-lift symptoms. We install tilt mounts on all plasma televisions, as we know that plasma TVs are famous for glare problems.
Basically, the wall mount has a pivot in the middle of the installation bracket -- sort of like a see-saw turned on its side. The pivot makes it possible to maintain a good viewing angle when lying on the floor or standing on a ladder (should you be installing crown molding when watching TV).
As a result, changing out cables is easier with a tilting wall mount bracket in comparison to a low-profile wall mount, but the tilt is feature is limited. If you need horizontal swivel or more than 15% tilt, then a full-motion wall mount might be a better option.

***Full-Motion Wall Mount
Full-motion wall mounts are as they say - full motion. This motion, however, comes with a cost, which makes full-motion wall mounts the most expensive of the wall mounts.
In addition to being costly, full-motion wall mounts are usually more complicated to install. Primarily because the mounting bracket has moving pieces -- an arm. As a result, you’ll want 2-3 people to help when hanging the TV onto the wall mount bracket.
As far as motion, the key difference between a full-motion and tilting wall mount is that full-motion wall mount brackets allow you to adjust the horizontal viewing angle by physically moving the flat panel away from the wall.
That’s because full-motion wall mounts have an arm joining the flat panel to the wall. This arm makes it possible to extend the TV away from the wall so you can swivel it on its horizontal axis.
Be careful when selecting your full-motion mount, because all of them are not manufactured with the same options. Some full-motion mounts require pre-tilting before hanging the TV and cannot be tilted unless the TV is removed. Some full-motion mounts support the TV with a plate on a ball-joint so tilting is easily achieved by pushing or pulling the TV. As with all TV wall mounts, ensure that the mount is weigh-rated to support your television set.


***Ceiling Mount
Ceiling mounts consist of a tilting wall mount and a drop pole with attachments to mount from a studded ceiling or truss. These can be very convenient for saving space especially in commercial installations, bur are generally more difficult to install and wire. Ceiling mounts should only be installed by a professional tv installer to prevent damage to the TV and liability issues with anyone passing under it. Most ceiling mounts include a wire concealing system to hide unsightly wires and cables. Make sure that any materials purchased outside of the original packaging support the weight of the TV and the mounting hardware.
We strongly suggest that you have your television mounted by a professional licensed and insured tv installation company like us to avoid possible health risks to your eyes and neck, and damage to your tv, other a/v equipment, and especially your home!
